    The Rockets won't make the playoffs with Capela as their starting C

    Joke around all you want. You should tone that down though. Way over the top in my opinion.

    I love the Boogie powering Capela near the rim

    Capela recuperated and blocked Cousins near the rim. Bouya Baby.

    I'm very pleased to see Clint having a big game. He needed it badly. I didn't watch the game. Did he show any new moves on offense, or was it mostly from P/R and layups around the basket?

    Cousins would leave Capela and Harden kept reading little to no rotation

    Cousins ended up half-way between both constantly

    Easy lob dunks. 13 out of 14 shooting from the field. 92.9%. He was found in a mismatch
    with a guard on him in the post. Capela turned and did a little flip shot-hook....made it.

    That's good, but we will need better execution in the post, against stronger teams. We need a replacement for Black. If that is not possible, try and get another defender who can rotate quickly on 3's and 2's even if he can't score much.

    I believe NBA analysts Sam Mitchell was rough on Cousins in post game. Harden exploited his defense constantly.

    Rockets noted Cousins defense was not the greatest on the perimeter. He back pedals too much with Harden. Noted
    Cousins can’t give up that much space to shooters. He was so high on Capela. Said he had great
    stamina. The stamina that centers need. I don’t know about that. Maybe for short stretches.

    capela kept on beating everybody down the floor. other than that, it was mostly pick and roll stuff, but his interior defense on capela was exceptional

    Just my opinion. This message board has been a little classier than some other NBA boards from what I know. Perhaps I am wrong and @Clutch likes posters calling others a "disease" here. If that's the case insult away.
