    Give 1) Richaun Holmes 2) Nerlens Noel 3) Dedmon a year and a half in this system. That’s just naming
    sub top tier.

    Put Embiid, DeAndre Jordan, Cousins, Aldridge, Gasol brothers, KAT, other’s.....and watch their numbers soar

    Rockets really missed Capela tonight. He opens up the offense so much and his growth on the defensive end in recent years has really been understated. He's blossomed into a very effective shot-blocker this year. I heard Bill say he had a sore knee and then later Bull said it was a sore heel, so I'm not sure why he missed tonight.

    Sore heel

    MDA made it seem like he would be back next game and if not that one then the one after.

    Said it wasn't serious

    yeah, we looked like a different squad out there w/o Capela.

    we need an effective PnRer + shot blocker. we can't always do a high PnR and end up w/ a 3-pointer. need also need to be able to run the lane off a high PnR.

    If you don't think Capela is a key cog in this offense or that anyone can replace what he does , just rewatch that game against the Bucks ....

    He's THE release valve. We look like different team when he doesn't play. He demands that much attention from teams.
