It hurts seeing this for fuckery as a long time fan of a team with a strong tradition@C. Capela was frustrating because he's brittle and didn't develop a game besides dunks. But not to give any minuted anymore to Chandler and Hartenstein is asinine.
Capela was exposed the past few playoffs against the Warriors, the Rockets weren't going to win a championship with him...
Chandler is washed up and Hartenstein is still too raw right now to play valuable minutes. It was all good just a week ago when the Rockets were the hottest team beating a couple playoff teams. The problem is that Harden is playing like trash, Gordon is hurt again and if they're not knocking down 3s. They're not beating anybody with this small lineup if they can't shoot 3s.
As much as I give Morey credit for stepping out the box and being creative, one thing he's never truly accomplished was find a center close to 7 foot that can knock down 3s and guard the paint. That's what he's been trying to get his whole time here as the Rockets GM.
Playing Tucker at the 5 for the whole season is wearing him out. He's been shooting like shit lately and the Rockets need him to knock down corner 3s.
