    It’s pointless taking any stock in what the national media says. They change their opinions by the hour.

    Rivers just proved how solid of a dude he is. It’s rare in today’s money grabbing nba that a guy has balls to turn down a bigger offer to stay with a team based on loyalty. Hang low sweet chariots. Butlers Houston credits have been transferred to rivers account.

    This week: The Rockets are such a fun team to watch when its all working
    Next week: This is the worst team to watch in the entire NBA.

    no games played - the only thing that changes in the narrative minute by minute...Whatever with that fake BS.

    Rockets legend Scottie Pippen is right!

    Houston needs Ariza in small forward. It needs to find an all star player.

    Rachel - Fun Team to Watch.

    Windy - Self Inflicted Chaos.

    Bald Guy - Best Starting 5 in NBA right now.

    All insincere BS I am sure to push their narrative that Rockets imploding.

    Chaos is media inflicted, not self inflicted.

    I cannot believe that i actually agreed with Scottie, trades are part of the business - all teams explore opportunities to improve. As long as players are paid, they will forgive and forget.

    What a champ. Sacrifice for the greater good. Love his bulldog mentality and his versatility to defend from anywhere the 1 spot to the 3 spot. Was also surprised at how well he finished around the basket and hit the 3 ball.

    Most importantly when Paul went down he played well with James.

    When you are winning, everything will be fine, Ok. How about when you are not winning, who should take a blame?

    Good lord. A year ago, I couldn’t stand Rivers...now, I’d just about have his baby.

    Thank you, Austin.

    Yeah the botched Detroit Piston trade with Horry coming back was great, hopefully if Capela stays he'll step up, his isn't really a shot issue. Haha, Horry came back and would shoot whatever he wanted, basically nothing to lose.

    As long as Kawhi doesn't end up on the Lakers, I like the Rockets chances. That said, Portland is quietly adding some nice pieces. That team will be very good too.

    they're all idiots. I don't trust or listen to anything they say because they're stupid as hell. I don't care if it's good or bad, ESPN opinions mean nothing to me

    I felt like I had been transported to another dimension while watching that video, OP. Like, who are these people? Where did they come from? Are they aliens inhabiting their bodies? It was certainly weird, and refreshing. We should enjoy that, because they'll turn and stab the Rocks in the back given half a chance. Heck, I even agreed with what Pippin said. How strange is that?
