Capela is a good young defensive big, doesn't necessarily have a high ceiling but you know what you're gonna get from him. Harrell is a solid energy big and will probably be one of those dudes that does well by outworking dudes, both are solid, nothing spectacular...

If you're hoping the Blazers can get either, they can't, Capela is going to be the Rockets starting C for a long time.

Everytime I watch the Rockets, I can see Capella's lack of offensive game. Don't really like his hands (n/h) but he can catch a lob :whew:

Good defensive big tho, nice mobility and he's like 21 or 22

Houston has surprised me too, they legit have a shot this year


Didn't surprise me.......You could look at this roster and know there would be nights where they'd completely shoot the other team out of the gym.

Along with betting Harden for MVP I bet them over 44 games.

I don't see them winning the chip this year. Harden is looking like a top 2/3 player so far but they'd need to shoot the lights out to beat GS/SAS/CLE in a 7 game series.

Yeah they don't have a shot in hell at the chip. They don't have the defense but as far the regular season they're going to be a good team.....Easily a top 5 seed. I think Utah and LAC are better than them.

Real talk I can see why they gave ryan anderson all that money...he adds a dimension to that offense thats hard to find...he's perfect for that system...And having a elite talent like gordon as your sixth man...all there young guys stepping up..yeah they def have the juice to be
top 3 contenders in the west...there defense is to suspect to be chip contenders though...
