    Honestly, I think Nene is better than Capela. Nene always yamms the ball, while Capela is shooting a limp layup. Capela is too weak to be an NBA center. More of a PF to me.. Nene has some good moves too- Capela can’t seem to catch a ball either.. Can’t believe they turned down a trade with Deandre Jordan.. And now Nene is playing only 5 minutes per game, I understand that he’s older- But he COOKED the Thunder in Game 4.. That shows he still has a lot of gas in the tank.

    I stopped at Capela is "more of a PF to me". Did you just get out of jail and haven't been able to watch basketball for 8-10 years? That is the only reasonable excuse for this opinion.

    I'm hoping he's saving his best for the playoffs like last year.

    Capela needs way more body strength, compared to the other Centers in the league- Clint looks like a child. Let’s count out how many people have smothered Capela. Well, there’s Kobe, PG, Westbrook, oh I could go on.. How was Capela’s dunk against the Raptors, oh wow it was awe- oh.. it got stuffed.. He’s missed SO MANY dunks, I swear he is the most frustrating player in the Rockets.

    I'm really confused. Westbrook has smothered Capela? KOBE has smothered Capela? Does not compute.

    This is why I like Capela....

    Well first off CP3 failed by not throwing a alley hoop. (He doesn't have good chemistry with Capela yet for whatever reason)

    ... but yea Capela will learn when he has to be aggressive and attack the rim and when he needs to finesse.

    The fact that he is as good as he is without mastering the subtleties is a testament to his talent and fit in our system.

    He broke down in the playoffs last year - we need him, so lower his reg season mins to help him last longer in the playoffs.

    Great stat.
