    Clint must be doing stairs with Harden. The stamina is crazy.

    Capela has three 20/20 games for the Rockets this year.

    Only Hakeem, Moses, and Elvin have done that. Not Dwight.

    He played 46 minutes, 5/5 FTs, might be one of his best games overall.

    One does not simply ignore a troll of this level. Only a ban from the almighty Clutch can rid us of this pestilence. :D

    He doubles down on us needing to trade Clint every chance he gets

    Kinda ridiculous how people are still hating on Capela. Outside of superstars and rookies he is the best value center in the league at only 18M a year for the next 4 years. And he is only 24!!!!

    He will be the next superstar once Harden starts fading ala Cp3.

    I don't give a player extra credit for merely maintaining the level they were paid for.

    But when a player gets his pay day, and continues to improve, I can respect the hell out of that. Capela could have coasted the next few years and then stepped it up at contract time, but he is busting his ass. That's a sign of character.

    Capela has improved every year.If Harden isn't feeding him, he is a zero offensively.
    This summer he needs some sort of offensive weapon.
    Such as:
    Hook shot
    He has improved his free throw.
    A 15ft jumper would be nice.

    I was seriously thinking at the beginning of the season he had gotten his money and was just not going to take it that seriously anymore, but he has just been wrecking it alongside Harden and a big reason why we are where we are right now. His rebounding is up from last year in general and he's been the only one of our big men doing it consistently, his scoring is up, he's been getting career highs, tying them etc. FT% is even up to almost 60% and a career high. Shot blocking is on par with last year.
