The Houston Rockets could have let the Ship sink when PG Chris Paul went down last month what they do follow reigning NBA M.V.P. James Harden to a 24-18 W-L as they were 8 game sunder when CP3 went down. Now the Rockets take another blow one they might not be bale to rebound from.

Through reports Rockets Center Clint Capela will be about at least 4-6 weeks due to Thumb Surgery and that NBA Heads and Clutch City is huge for Houston and not in a good way. With their lone force in the middle the Rockets are formidable playing "Small Ball" with Capela the lone "Big" in the game. Now with him out the Rockets have to be looking for a "Big" that can give them serviceable minutes around 25-30 per and hold his own.



Capela's 2018-19 Digits

42 Games 17.6 ppg 12.6 rpg 1.5 asst 1.8 blks

Looking at the current front court players for the Rockets as we go to press:

C Nene #Brazil
C Marquese Chriss #WashingtonHuskies
C Isiah Hartenstein #OregonDucks
PJ Tucker #TexasLonghorns
Danuel House Jr. #TexasAMAggies
James Ennis #LongBeachState
Gary Clark #CincinnatiBearcats
Vince Edwards #PurdueBoilermakers

The Only three players on their current roster that can replace Capela's Production by committee is Nene, Chriss and Hartenstein and that's a tall order. Harden has been carrying the load but he cannot carry that load through mid-April...stay tuned!
