    nah its the refs who make them prevail... what you call talent is a pure hype made by the media and constant refs help they get over other teams...

    eg draymond could never do what he does if he were to wear rockets shirt

    this was 1 of the most useless WCFs of all time...what a joke of a series

    Portland is so far below GS it’s not even funny...trash series with absolutely nothing interesting that went down

    Even when the games were called better, with no Durant, we still lost at home.

    The refs are the least of our problems and continuously using officiating as an excuse for our losses doesnt help us move in the right direction.

    BTW a lot of other non-rocket fans complain about refs help Rockets by ignoring Harden 'travels' and flopping for fouls

    THIS and the REFS

    The Rockets Style literally makes up the difference in Talent
    The problem is that REFS cancel out our style

    My point is that all rings aren’t equal as far as personal accolades go. Dirk gets a ton of respect for his ring. He lead that team to the promise land. Without him, the Mavs wouldn’t have even come close. There’s no talk about Dirk deserving it or if he’s an all time great or clutch or anything negative. He stuck it out old school style and never quit.

    KD and Boogie, not so much. GS is well on their way to another title without them. Yes, some successes are more valuable than others.

    Let’s be real about it. Lots of Allstars out there could do what Cousins did this year. Give up money for a year to buy a ring. Most don’t though because it’s cheap and fake.

    If he was going to give a discount he wanted make sure he got a ring out of it. Lol.

    He literally bought a championship for several million dollars. I hope it was worth it.

    I ain’t trying to hear this...Harden gets that all the time

    Harden has teams like the Bucks inventing new defenses and top defensive teams like the Jazz throwing out all their regular defensive principles

    when Harden struggles nobody cares about the level of defense that he was facing
