    That doesn't even make sense.

    No, he chooses to play that way because he has to. If you listened to what they said they were talking about on a team with people who know how to play that way, the Rockets players don't.

    Hard to move the ball when other players know that most of the Rockets can't hit hide open 3's.

    Yes, this is a big problem, but Chris can make mid-range shots, Austin can drive and finish at the basket, EG is not as tall as Austin but he can finish there too. Capela will be back. Fitness is a big issue too, I hope this small break will help the players get some rest. I admit it's not too encouraging. Perhaps things will turn around for the better slowly. Can't expect anything more than that.

    Lillard isn’t a superstar, Blake isn’t a superstar...and I asked about in the past 5 years...Idc about dudes like Vince Carter from back in 05

    Kobe always had a ton of help when he won his rings, what on Earth are u talking about? Average Joes? I can’t even take what you’re saying seriously.

    Healthy Chris Paul? That’s only a reality for half the season, and he’s obviously declining. He is gonna miss at least 20 games every year, so no, this team would not make the playoffs. They’d be getting a lottery pick.

    The star help is old, declining, misses 20 games every year, and is on an albatross deal. Harden should be so grateful.

    Why is he even talking to Steph about what is going on with his own team..... one is on Team Lebron, the other on Team Giannis.

    Media Conspiracy.

    Yeah he should, things could be way worse and rockets are always looking to improve, the agenda of Tillman purposely not going after people for cap space is just untrue.

    When Shaq left Kobe had just about the same grade roster rockets have now. Plus we have CP3.

    Chris Paul’s deal does suck but still a solid player in my eyes. Who cares come playoffs CP3 steps up. Harden couldn’t even close out a two lead game series but somehow CP3 can make the whole team better plus be clutch.

    Chris Paul injuries suck but he’s still legit af

    Lillard and griffin are stars wtf?

    Your talking about two guys who have been mvp candidates multiple seasons before. Lillard is legit as it gets. Griffin you could make a case for but he’s still a star.

    There have been plenty of times we've been blowing guys out & he's went back in the game just to get his numbers. Harden does a lot of stat chasing. Not all the time but lots of it is stat driven

    Stop bringing up Kobe fam

    Derek Fisher
    Kobe
    Artest
    Gasol
    Bynum

    Where is the "lots of help" you speak of? That's one of the weakest starting 5 of all the championship teams ever. Kobe could possibly be the only HOF on that team. When all else fails just make stuff up? I get it

    Honestly I can't believe what f****** Steph is saying, Harden has flourished in MDA system and he has made Harden a better player. I don't know what is happening inside but from the outside it seems Harden and MDA have a good relationship it was just a few days ago that Harden shared a photo of MDA.

    That’s a decent roster but pretty comparable to ours am I wrong?. Eric Gordon, Capela, Tucker, Chris Paul and etc don’t act like we don’t have talent.

    Kobe Bryant has mediocre to good team compared to what others had

    I would easily take Kobe’s roster over this one...Gasol>Capela, Odom>Ego, Artest>Tuck...young Ariza better than any perimeter defender we got...Lakers roster full of high IQ vets, and Phil Jackson>>>D’antoni

    we’ll see how CP3 does this upcoming playoffs, but he has declined considerably and will only continue to get worse while possessing 1 of the most crippling contracts in the league
