Hey @Roland @A40 @Birdman and @all i heard Dallas wants to pursue howard in the summer, as much as i have a problem with the guy, him not trying to be a winner, and certain things the media says about him, with a coach like Rick Carlisle, do you guys think he can produce?
Lol phuck Dwight! The team is barely recovering from the Rondo debacle and you want to add another player with diva tendencies?

Go for Hasan Whiteside. Dwight is allergic to greatness and past it

was hoping we wouldnt make the playoffs - i dont need the stress of watching any more rockets bball this season. the team is painfully dysfuntional. on paper, we are the best matchup vs warriors in the league. on paper undecided
Spurs, Clippers?

A Warriors/Clippers series will be fire! I'd rest Steph the rest of this Rockets series if I were Kerr. Iggy, Klay, Livingston are very capable of handling Steph's scoring load

Spurs and Clippers are old school type teams. Like GSW, Houston has tons f players that can play multiple positions, like we have forwards that can play small ball act as stretch 4s, knocking down 3s reliably (Jsmoove, Ariza) - in that sense Houston is a constant matchup nightmare. And I believe this is the direction the league is going - a team of with lots of positionless players

Yep, everyone is waiting for gsw/clippers series. I've been saying the clippers will make things difficult for GSW. They will win imo. Clippers ran into a houston team that was hard to prepare for last year. This year, the door is wide open.

Man, horrible calls tonight by the refs against houston. GSW will win regardless, just do not need the refs against them
cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy His flailing didn't work today. He made some and lost some. The refs called some yeye fouls when he attempted 3s and had like 3 of those during that match. One thing i noticed is, The rockets are not willing to play maybe as a team.. No communication, poor chemistry, even poor individual performance and unnecessary ISO plays from Harden. And harden being the star player has refused to assume the leadership position in that team.. Imagine Harden working with Howard/Capella on pick and rolls as much as he ISOs.. Maybe pick and role to drive or side pick n pop just like CP3 and Jordan, Drummond and Reggie Jackson, Bogut and Steph.. It'll give him better chances to shoot, save time or creates better chances for corner shooters.. But instead, he loves his ISO, flail drive, and killer step backs that no longer hurt a fly. I believe if Dwight and Capella can't create their shots, work with them on pick and rolls. And BTW Bickerstaff abi Shuttlecock or what's his name keeps giving Capella and Kj McDaniels 3mins while the just 3 players come from the bench. Not like they'll make it past 1st round but Houston has as much good players a OKC but as a team, they're just not interested in doing anything. How do fans even cope with their type of game?? How??

Don't expect too much from the Clippers. We're good at clipping their wings.. grin The series to watch out for is the GSW vs SPURS series.

How are you a matchup nightmare for a team that has been beaten you 14 times in 15 attempts? Its like saying Arsenal are a matchup problem for Barcelona. I wouldn't play Ariza at the 4 either

Clippers pissed that series away. After beating the Spurs and going 3-1 up vs the Rockets they had no reason not to seal the deal

I think the Clippers would worry the Warriors for sure but they still have the DeAndre Jordan problem. Can you leave him on late in a close game? Their best defender is Luc Mbah' a Moute who is minus 1 on offense. How do you ration his minutes

I never get chance respond to that your post. I like your optimism but I just think the loss of Bradley is too much for the Celts to recover. In him you lost your 2nd best player and best perimeter defender

I'm curious as to who you would have put in Bradley's place
