    umm... you just ignored the 2nd best rocket on my list to try to make your argument seem reasonable. You would take harrell or patterson over capela? LMFAOOOOOO

    i dont give a damn about what youd take. I already know you have a distorted view of reality

    Harkless is a good 3 and D wing. Shamet is a second year who shot 45% from 3 on good volume in his first year. He will space the floor and hit open 3s. Not sure what you are expecting from role players..

    Looks like we will really see damn near every Clippers game on national TV. Great.

    Ummm, like no.

    Steph was pretty dominant offensively with Klay throw a DPOY, ball-handling maestro with Harrison Barnes and above average center in Bogut with the league's best bench


    And, then they added Kevin Durant. KD alone is better than both Kawhi and PG.

    We have much better chance against the Clippers.

    the clippers dont need a primary ball handler with the way their offense is run

    this team has the potential to be scary good.... like warriors with KD good. the talent, depth, and defensive intensity makes it tough to see anyone beating them 4 of 7. they aren't even at their peak man damn.

    This clipper team is very similar to the raptor team Kawhi just won a title with

    Kawhi=kawhi

    Pascal dont sleep on him is very similar to pg13

    Lowry -Beverly

    Danny green-shamet

    Fred van fleet- lou will

    Ibaka-montrez

    Marc Gasol- zubac

    I don’t give a **** about the Clippers right now because the season is less than a week old.

    It isn’t a question of how good the Clippers are, it is a question of whether the Rockets will be able to make the moves needed to address their weaknesses.

    why hell no ? like the warriors, they have 3 guys capable of going off for 30+ any given night. they have high IQ, intense defenders, and role players who accept their role. they have shooters everywhere also have a great coach.

    i dont see much weakness with this team. i think the lakers have the star power to test them with AD,bron and Kuz, but they have a lot of things to figure out first and need a PG.

    the only moves you should expect are to duck the luxury tax..... and sadly I am not joking.

    I don’t understand why the Rockets didn’t give Spalding a chance. He’s a defensive, athletic 4 that can shoot the three.

    The season is long as hell and I’m sure there will be trades mid season
