Premium Member sturt Posted April 22, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 That's a real damning concern, then. Many of us back-when thought we weren't getting the full story. But did anyone think he'd still be hobbled into the summer? This is starting to sound like something in the vein of Eric Berry's drama during his last year with KC Chiefs (and since). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg01 Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 This has been discussed in another thread. Hou played him injured, lengthened the recovery. Not ideal but also not necessarily news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ve been doing a pretty good job. I feel pretty good, honestly. I’m not 100 percent yet. It’s getting better, so I’m optimistic about it.” Capela’s decision to play through pain is why he’s still dealing with this process that started in late December. Capela didn’t properly rest the foot to allow it to fully heal when he originally felt discomfort. He said last month that he dealt with the pain and learned to play through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be 100% by training camp and due to the COVID19 he actually has even more time to heal. There’s nothing to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it remains... for now... a whole lot more reward on the ledger than risk. A healthy version of Capela is worth considerably more than he's counting on our cap sheet. Having said that, I'd have felt more confident if it had just been indicated up front, though, that this was anticipated. The words in the Capela quote also don't exactly inspire confidence, at least not for me. That sounds like what a person says when he doesn't actually have a lot of faith that he knows what's next. Players who inspire confidence speak in more specific terms than that. If he's not playing by training camp, I'll be concerned. If he's not playing by opening night, I'll be really concerned. If he's not playing by Thanksgiving, I'll be outright worried. And if he's not playing by Christmas, I'll be a worried, cussing pessimist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 He was injured in December and was still playing and dealing with it on Jan. 11th. December report: https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/23/clint-capela-added-to-rockets-injury-list-with-bruised-heel/ January report: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2869311-rockets-clint-capela-ruled-out-vs-timberwolves-after-suffering-heel-injury Common knowledge for anyone that follows the Rockets and I am sure Schlenk and company knew about it also.

Took Embiid forever to get on the floor. And am I making this up, or wasn't it also Theo Ratliff's nagging injury? I wouldn't say HOU played us like a fiddle. Clearly, our eyes were wide open as to what we might be getting ourselves into. But again, let's not overreact just yet. It's a little bit of bad news. Just think good thoughts. Meditate on that contract. That sweeeeeet, team-friendly contract. Nothing's really changed. And we still haven't lost any games over this trade. Happy, happy!

Also, D'antoni's downplaying of the injury was clearly deceptive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Vol4ever Posted April 22, 2020 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 I dont think that anyone hasnt had a "pause" hearing about this. We are all hopeful he is fine in the fall for training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
