Maybe. Capela was useless for the Rockets in the last two series against Golden State. As much flak as Harden got for not coming through in the playoffs Capela was their most disappointing player, so I guess why not triple down on going small.
Roco will need to pick it up from deep if he's going to fit in Houston though, as much hype as he gets on this board for being a 3 & D guy he's not that great from 3 and it's not like he made enough of a defensive impact to help Minnesota
What's Houston's starting five now?
Westbrook, Harden, RoCo, Tucker, and Gordon? Not sure Tucker, Roco and Westbrook can handle the defense and rebounding load.
