    I've said this for a while now... we paid 80 mil to a guy who does basic stuff. He doesnt stretch the floor. His free throws havent improved. Jeremy lin of bigmen. I was really hoping Deandre was going to sign in houston for cheap. Would deandre get pushed around by a 67 green? If we lose this series because capella couldnt show up... it is time to ship him out for something useful.

    He needs to be playing at Rico Hines this summer at Ucla like everybody else including Looney. Heck on youtube Looney is playing pickup games with James Harden. He needs to learn how a big man needs to play in the playoffs. If you are having a bad game that's fine you can still box out and defend the paint. Boxing out is a centers main job .

    Nene should've gotten more minutes. Was the only player who was positive +/-.

    MDA needs to figure out when not to trust a guy during the game. Some kids just don't do their damn homework sometimes, and as a teacher you just have to know how to plan for that.

    It's generous of you describe what he did tonight as "playing"

    Tonight Clint took a **** on every single rockets fan

    He got outplayed by Kevin looney , outmuscled by curry , and as crazy as it sounds I'd seriously rather give hartenstein his minutes . At least he might make a layup or a ft

    If I see him get the ball under the basket again with a smaller defender on him, pump fake, and then pass out, I’m gonna pull my ****ing hair out.

    Yep, he is useless. Those 14 rebounds and 6 lousy points. You don't pay a guy 20 mil to do that. 10 mil for that shiat.

    He can't shoot, can't finish, can't create space, my heart freaking pumps whenever he sets a screen for fearing being called a moving screen.

    He is not a BASKETBALL PLAYER

    I'd honestly rather him pass out because the eye test telld me his fg% has been bad this series. He's taking low percentage contested fgs and just making bad decisions. There were some posessions where he took the contested fg when there was an open man

    I’d rather him just not be on the floor.

    Adams is getting scapegoated in OKC - is that an opportunity for a straight swap?

    Sam Presti is probably never doing a deal with the Rockets ever again.

    Harden would make Adam's a all star in one season.

    I can't figure out if Capela is just pooping the bed this series or if the Warriors have figured out how to stop him at the basket. It seems like time after time he's not converting on plays that are routine for him throughout the year. I must be missing something.

    Why didn't D'Anthony give a couple of minutes to Faried after Durant went out and Jerebko came in? Manimal would at least finish around the basket.

    He dont have points still ok, but he needs to get more rebounds and help to get the offensive rebounds to do slam dunk for miss ball

    i think he's lost every single jump ball this series. the swiss miss cannot even convert easy layups now. looks like he just started playing basketball last month. even omer asik would be an upgrade over him at this point

    True that the defense on him was stifling, but should have made adjustments whatsoever by last night and it was Game 5! Disgusting that Looney gets the better of him. He better play his ass off the next game like his life depended on it. Get that freaking turd on your hair off. Crazy what. fa big fat contract does to a guy.

    The Rockets gotta get Clint going early on offense.

    seriously, can someone find out wtf is going on with him.:confused::confused: like did he get threatened or something. he looks like a rookie all over again and worse because he looks scared and confused on what to do on the floor. Routine plays we've seen over and over and against this exact team, he has gotten flustered about what to do. he's mentally all over the place and someone really needs to light a fire in him, wake him up, or get some of his confidence back. Cause this capela we've seen in 4/5 games is clearly unplayable. we've seen what this guy can do when hes playing well. i have no idea who that is out there as of late

    you don't go out and tell everyone yeah I want the warriors and show up like he has been.
