    Clint made a couple free throws tonight. So even in that capacity, you can't say Dorsey's better anymore. If McHale has to play another big in the playoffs, maybe he should roll the dice on Capela. At least for one game.

    I've said it many times now, but defensive rotations. Clint bites way too hard on the pick and roll and traps really aggressively, which forces bad switches and has allowed for some easy baskets at the rim. BUT I thought Clint looked a lot better tonight on that front (he still had one or two moments where he came too far out).

    I think it's close at this point.

    Capela's length alone makes him scarier than Dorsey.

    Dorsey doesn't scare anybody.

    Capela for president.

    Capela has so much potential to be a great player.

    Dorsey has no potential at all, and his IQ is also a problem.

    If you want this team to be an elite team in future, how can you not giving any chance to Capela???

    Experience and bball IQ. Dorsey has played in big games in Europe (still experience) and more basketball overall. Capela's athleticism and length allows him to recover well from bad position and missed assignments. Let's be honest, Capela has looked bad when he got minutes earlier, while Dorsey merely has been treading water all season. Hopefully, when Hack-a-Capela is enacted he can hit is FTs closer to his D-League average. Otherwise, Capela looked good as of late.

    Tonight against the Hornets:

    Capela 17 points tonight and 5 rebounds in 17 minutes
    Dorsey 0 points 5 rebounds in 17 minutes

    Nuff Said!

    I disagree. Capela can be a monster on the boards and also brings shot blocking and above the rim athleticism Doresy could not hope to match.

    Offensive Rebounding. I've noticed if Capela is not in position to grab a board he gives up on it early and concedes. Dorsey doesn't, he'll make the other guy work for the rebound.
