    Your rebuttal is almost as bad as your basketball knowledge.

    Almost.

    It takes a mighty kind of stupid to have your opinion about Capela.

    Boy he just keeps embarrassing you time and time again. Even more-so than you do yourself, which is probably the biggest accomplishment for Clint to date.

    Because I have confidence in the team and root for them instead of taking a grudge about a player? Yeah, I'm happy to own that post. I'll make many of the same in the future. Quote those too

    I have seen some growth from Capela in regards to him being effective against GS.. We really need to give CC (and Nene) some help in the front court.

    Maybe you work for #MSM?

    I said we would not win a championship with Capela at center.

    I have backed off that slightly.

    I adjusted that statement to we won't beat the Warriors with Capela playing among the top 6 most rotation minutes against them.

    Injuries are a given. You have always account for them. With either Harden or Paul out we have no chance to beat the Warriors unless they have Curry/Durant out. And even then our odds are still significantly lower than with both teams healthy. Because they have 4 stars and we have two.

    But injuries are a given. That was always part of the equation last year when I said that we didn't have enough. You can't move goal posts. But lamebrain people can rub into them and then make idiotic statements like you just did, that I moved the goalpost and made you run into it.

    r****ded.

    He can't because you erased it from your signature. I recall something similar - Harden being Pete Maravich but had to play with someone like CP3.

    A steady ball handler next to him.

    CP3 has declined so far and became even more injury prone.

    Until we defeat the Warriors with Capela playing top 6 rotation minutes in a playoff seriesOR until we win a championship with Capela playing top 6 minutes in the rotation, I will not be embarrassed. And if that happens I'll acknowledge I slighted Capela's contribution to our winning. But not until then. I do not believe we will beat the Warriors in a playoff series without benching Capela and rubbing his minutes down with at least 6 other guys playing more minutes than he does.

    I posted a lot on this topic. Can't shove it off to a signature post. So there's plenty of material out there concerning what my opinion was (and still is) concerning Harden and his turnovers and style of play and what kind of players we needed around him to win a championship.

    I have not changed my opinion one iota on that topic yet.

    So either post something I said that was such deliciously fallacy to you.. .or just drop it. Stop trying to divine and opine my opinions without even evidence of my written words, much less the context in which they were said.

    Either find the questionable posts and repost them or shut up.

    I have seen enough. Capela is practically averaging 20/20 and you want him traded for what exactly? Please provides names of players that are going to play on this team so we can at least assess the value of this proposed trade. Especially, since you think the value of what Capela provides is so worthless.

    this thread is funny with holic on ignore....nothing makes sense. But when i click show ignored post, still nothing makes sense. Y'all are wasting your time talking to him. Holic is the definition of someone more interested in being right and smarter than everyone else than interested in rockets basketball. He's a fan of basketball for sure, just likes being more of a fan of himself. anyway, just my 2 cents. carry on with him if you like....not my concern. Just my PSA for today.

    This thread is chock full of your bad takes on Harden.

    In fact @aelliott was owning many people,including yourself, left and right in that thread. It’s really a great read.

    So many people couldn’t see how good of a creator and passer Harden could be.

    Lots of he’s a selfish ball hog who dribbles too much.

    LOTS of people blaming Harden for Dwight.

    Clint Capela has stepped up his game and has averaged 18.3 points and 18.1 rebounds during the 6-1 stretch without Chris Paul.
