    Give me the ping pong balls. This is a good class of kids coming out.

    Even better trade cp3 for more balls or bring back the clutch beloved melo.

    I want a ring and not an extra 6 games to watch in may.

    Its clear this team, or any team led by harden, will never get us the ring.

    Id trade harden for the 1 or 2 pick tbh

    Tilman and Morey does. Clearly that playoff money is more important than actually winning it all.

    This is the franchise that owns the record for lowest seed to win a championship. Don't have a loser mentality, if Golden State is the 1 seed and we're 6-7, that's perfect for a conference finals rematch. The West isn't that good, Denver doesn't scare me.

    If healty we can beat any team (outside the Warriors maybe) so, the seeding might not be that important, but we must have some good amount of luck for all the playoffs to have a shot, if Chris gets injured or won't be at his best or close to it at any point, we're done.

    Jesus we're like 3 games out of the 4 seed. Sick of fans that jump ship after every loss, go be a Lakers fan, you'd fit in well there.

    if the Rockets can get the 4 seed and GS not get the 1 seed then I’m good

    this dude talking about he wants a ring...smh, trade Harden and see how long it takes to get another player on his level...

    fans obsessed with ping pong balls thinking some rookie will definitely be the savior...gimme a break...

    anyone thinking Morey will ever even entertain the thought of trading Harden right now is dumb and delusional...Harden is by far his greatest accomplishment...

    i hope this isnt a serious post. its amazing the disrespect harden gets. he doesn't have, and has never had as much help as other superstars since he has been here. last year we finally got someone significant in cp3, and what do you know we win 65 games, but he wasnt there when we needed him most

    people saying we cant win a title with harden are crazy, but he needs more help. people want to move goal posts when talking about harden, as if lebron, steph, KD, and kawhi led teams to rings all by themselves.

    If Denver or OKC are 1st and 2nd then yes, absolutely.

    who would have led the rockets last year or even before that and won a chip?

    you are sure harden can't lead gsw to a championship if he replaced curry or kd?

    One tank thread from a Realist and one from a Genius. All we need for the bonehead trifecta is a tank thread from someone with "True" or "Truth" in their name.

    I’m pretty sure New Orleans would jump all over that, and they would probably include AD to sweeten the deal..I’m not joking

    i was with you until the harden comment. he was the mvp for the past 3 seasons. there won't be anything close to equal value. he's even playing real defense now. he's maybe better than last year. we're also locked into paul since no one will take that contract and it would look terrible if we were to try to trade him anyway.

    however, yes, we don't need 6 more games in may over a lotto pick. since we are stuck with paul for 3 more seasons, we need starter level talent (or better) on rookie deals to offset his cost. maybe spend some cash to buy an additional FRP, and spend some future SRPs to get a current SRP or two. load the bench with long term cheap deals with young, athletic, durable, improving players instead of vet min short term deals for old, undersized, injury prone, declining players. just a thought.

    Didn't a #6 seed with 2 HOFers win it all before?
