    Clint had two strengths that are very hard to find in bigs:

    - Runs the floor better than any 7-footer I've ever seen (never missed a chance to just run end to end)
    - Great hands. Always caught the ball very well in traffic.

    Harden to Capela was like Stockton to Malon.... That combo was almost unstoppable. It took an all-star team (warriors) and a couple of zebras to stop them. Clint literally dominated the top centers in the playoffs. When they broke up that combo, i knew it was all over. Harden was the bread, Clint Capela was the butter.

    - Anticipation on blocks. He literally had a triple double with 10 blocks the other night. He's not even a 7-footer.

    I really loved how he was always game to do the stupid fan segments they would have during the game. Fashion copela and acapela with capela had me loling the first time I saw them. He never though himself too cool to do silly things like that. Just seems like a good dude.

    He was my favorite player on the rockets starting his 2nd year. He has passed the torch to Mr. KPJ

    He was awesome for us but a liability against the warriors in all those playoff games.

    That's why we had Luc as our small ball 5.

    Then he got hurt.
