    Now the narrative that the Rockets can beat any team other than a fully healthy GSW team should be out of the window.

    Happy roster shuffling, Darnell!

    And if someone chokes..........

    Yeah. I hope KD leaves next year bc the warriors are going to get stomped and fall in the standings imo. What's their motivation? Chase center in SF is going to go back to the losing ways of the worriers franchise.
    Can we regroup and get a top 3 seed? Can we win WCF finals? Can we get thru next year's bux or craptors?
    I hope so.
    I hope seeing the craptors ring will sting the Rockets a bit. I want them hungry! Our window is getting tighter

    I wish Morey the best of luck. No other GM I would rather have. Alot depends on Tilman though and I have a bad feeling that as usual, Morey is just going to have to work with what he is given.

    It's pretty crazy. We know that Les wanted that fast pace offense (Dantoni) and Morey probably had to go with the flow....but while we were so focused on building a team that could "keep up" with the Warriors, we should have been more innovative and found a way to properly counter them instead. Kawhi is and should be the center piece. At least that type of 2 way player.

    We have come a long way for sure......yeah but hindsight, I didn't know Kawhi was that good after his injury, I dun think many would have predicted that, also Toronto has some of the best role players, much like the Spurs, now they might not have Pop but talent and proper risk taking wins out.

    You have to go thru the Draft, make good trades, and still keep some of your players for continuity.

    I hate to say it but that CP3 trade is looking even more crappy right about now.

    I guess you must’ve missed Austin rivers on Espn these last two days.

    They love piling on the rockets, constantly reminding everyone they couldn’t beat the warriors.

    I’m in Northern California right now watching a postgame show by the Warriors staff. So lame, nothing but apologizing douches, making excuses... love it.

    **** the Warriors

    One of the few opportunities to quote yourself without looking like a douche! (I've quoted myself before so I'm not above it)

    Absolutely love what Toronto is doing. I’m happy for them and hope they win.

    That said, GSW is injury depleted. They’ve had an amazing run of health and I guess we’re seeing the law of averages kick in. With Klay and KD healthy, I don’t think the Raptors are in this position. Not the hottest of takes but I see some opinions out there that need to take the injuries into account.

    Why is everybody fighting in this thread. Can't we all just enjoy that the Warriors are losing.

    Lol seriously? Canada is more American than California is at this point, and besides, the US is built on alliances, always was, always will be.

    Did you study American history?
