    Two days in a row -- two negative in nature reports for Houston. This is now making its round on social media

    Hmm.

    Don't think I will for a long time. Best shot at winning a championship in 20 years.

    Daydreaming and mental gymnastics don't do it for me.

    I would put money down on Lebron to LA at this point. Gotta follow the narrative in the NBA. If you want a sport that doesn't treat you like a battered wife, go to baseball where no one can rig where or not the dude swings the stick and then the ball bloops in between three fielders or takes a weird hop and bounces off the pitcher's shoe heel or the corner of the base or something.

    Um, how did "doesn't like" become "despises"? There is a difference, after all.

    I don't believe everything I read on the Interwebs ("FAKE NEWS!"), and I know how these so-called journalists just want clickbait, but if LeBron's kid is actually enrolled at a school in LA (and I don't mean some kind of basketball camp; I mean, actual school), then that would be telling. It seems the easiest route anyway. But again, let's hide and watch.

    that's rich from someone playing in cleveland

    pretty sure cp3 coming from LA wasn't too thrilled with Houston but how that turn out

    and did Lebron say that before or after the rockets took gsw to 7 while he got swept?

    He did put his house up for sale a few months in.

    Which is strange. Probably wasn't ready for that traffic.

    The enrollment in school thing is blah.

    You can do that stuff last minute anywhere.

    If he really did say that, then I hope he comes to the West so we can sweep his ass in the first round every year.

    It makes a difference only to people like Lebron, who is from the area. But Hou by ANY standard is better than Cle. It's not LA, it's not NY, but it's in terms of the 30 NBA destinations, it's not at the bottom by any stretch of the imagination.

    And you know how much "Houston as a city" will factor into his decision? Nada.

    You shouldn't. Harden is one of the few things that's making Houston a FA destination.
