Durant rips Capela for thinking Rockets better than Warriors
It's a bit rich of Kevin Durant to slam someone for taking the easy way out, but that was the decision he made.
After taking the season series against the reigning champions this weekend, Clint Capela confidently boasted that the Houston Rockets were better than the Golden State Warriors.
This drew a rude response from Durant, who didn't quite care for the opinions of someone who primarily finishes lobs around the rim.
Kevin Durant on Clint Capela saying Houston is a better team than the Warriors: “You hear that from guys like Capela, who’s usually catching the ball or laying it up from CP or Harden. His job is not as hard. I mean when your job is that hard you don’t say shit like that.” pic.twitter.com/lbiJ1Doxf9

"You hear that from guys like Capela. Usually, he's catching the ball and laying it up from Chris Paul or James Harden," Durant said.
"His job is not as hard. When your job is that hard, you know you can't come out there and say s--t like that. I don't expect that from CP and James and (Trevor) Ariza and the rest of the guys like that because they know how hard it is to come out and do that every night.
"Capela, catch and dunk every night, it's pretty easy for him."
