The keys to the Houston Rockets’ season: #2 the Dwight Howard maintenance plan or, how i learned to stop worrying and embrace Clint Capela

Clint Capela was the greatest postseason revelation in Rockets history since Rudy T. invented the concept of the modern day stretch 4, sliding Robert Horry up into Chucky Brown’s spot in the lineup. Okay, maybe not. But anyone who watched this team last year, from the regular season into the playoffs was equally in shock over Capela’s insertion into the postseason rotation, and subsequent contributions. Like, this guy played like a total of seven or eight minutes the entire year and then promptly went nuts in the real games, catching lobs and blocking shots like he didn’t know what was at stake.
