Hawks center Clint Capela Goes HAM on New York Knicks!

Rivalry and opinion have always been a big part of the NBA. Which leads us to Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela just went HAM on the New York Knicks, who called out the players for trying to “play tough” and guaranteeing to boot them from the playoffs!

CelebnSports247.com reports that The Knicks vs. Hawks series has been chippy and rough through 4 games to say the least.

When the 27-year-old baller was asked about the Knicks playing physical, Capela unloaded.

Clint Capela told reporters:

They try to play tough, push our guys around and talk s***, but we can do that, too. We show them as soon as they came back here. We can push guys around, too. We can talk s*** as well, so whatchu gonna do about it? — and we can get a win with it.

Capela insists the Knicks’ style of play hasn’t posed a serious threat … and guarantees a victory in Game 5 to send the Knicks packing on Wednesday.

He added:

And now we’re coming to your home to win this game again and send you on vacation.

There’s more…

Clint had words for Knicks star Julius Randle shoving Danilo Gallinari during Game 4 as “retaliation” for hitting Reggie Bullock’s neck on the previous possession.

He added:

You’re trying to look physical, but it’s not working. It’s the last solution. You don’t get your star player making dirty plays. Of course, that was a dirty play, retaliation or not … we all can shove someone. You can play hard but within the game.

As for the Knicks…they’re not taking the bait.
