    Man stop the Jimmy Butler picture

    We are supposed to be upset and angry. Not freaking excited about Jimmy Bucket

    And ... Jimmy Bucket is just going to be another peg in this long list of guards we have used in years

    We need to address ... rebounding and interior

    Give me a freaking big that can finish/board/defend

    KD changes the narrative by going to the team that he beat INSTEAD of the team that beat him

    Al Horford has a player's option for the Celtics? He'd be nice.

    I’m not saying he has to be “it’s on me” guy. But i would like him to be more of a grown man in these moments.

    Sounded like a shot at the coach. Who knows. All I know is if they fire d’Antoni, they damn well better get somebody as good or better.

    On the other hand, for all the bellyaching about coaching, it’s worth noting that only one coach has beaten the Warriors in a seven game series in the last 4 years: Ty Lue.

    Maybe coaching really doesn’t matter all that much. Brad Stevens: great coach. Team played like ass this year. Kevin McHale: marginal coach, pretty similar results to D’antoni.

    So tired of hearing talk about next year from the Rox.

    How many years is this? When did they trade for Tmac?

    CP3 wanted Lebron, not Harden. Harden wants to do it all but he can’t.

    The biggest difference between us and the warriors is not talents. I actually think we are not that far behind. The biggest problem with this team is the fact that we have are constantly dealing and changing the deck year after year. The biggest advantage for the warriors is their continuity with their core players. We really lack consistency from game to game and changing the starting 5 every year won’t help.

    Difference between the Warriors and Rockets is trust in the 4th qtr passing, motion offense, offensive rebounds

    Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green all were drafted and developed by the Warriors
    Steve Kerr in game adjustment, surprises the DAntoni in match ups

    Same way with the Astros Jose Altuve, George Springer, Carlos Correa, Alex Bregman, Lance McCullers
    Trust, Talent, Hard Work, Talent High Draft Picks
    Great Manager who knows how to make in game adjustment in A.J Hinch

    Great GM Jeff Luhnow. Mike Elias, Sig Mejdal are going to be missed

    Those young years together can draw them closer in trust.

    The Rockets are getting older, and don't have a comfort level like the Warriors and Astros do.
    Rockets want a easier way to win a Championship, trade or Free Agents.

    Drafting is the best way to develop a Champion, if you have a competent GM.

    Kyle Lowry was traded to Toronto for the 14th pick to the Rockets, what happened with the 15th pick Giannis was selected to the Bucks.

    Rockets traded the 14th pick, Jeremy Lamb, Kevin Martin for James Harden, Cole Aldrich

    Rockets selected Marcus Morris over Kawhi Leonard

    Nikola Jokic fell to the 2nd Rd Rockets had a 1st Rd pick missed on him

    Someone should actually tell Kawhi that if he comes here he's going to piss off the Spurs even more, he may actually do that...
