Jalen typically has good basketball takes, but he’s being an idiot here. A team with LeBron-Harden and CP3 has more top end talent than the Warriors. If he doesn’t want it because it makes the NBA outside of Houston and Golden State irrelevant, I get it, even though that’s basically the case now. But from a basketball perspective he’s crazy if he thinks the Rockets with LeBron, Harden and CP3 couldn’t beat the Warriors.
HOU w/ CP3 and harden beats the warriors. HOU w/ lebron and harden beat the warriors in 5. HOU w/ CP3, lebron, and harden beats the warriors in 4 boring blowouts
Don’t disagree with any of that. Surprised that Jalen would have such an idiotic basketball take though. He’s typically much more logical and level headed in his analysis.
we took the warriors to 7 games and should have won, but yeah....Houston is a bad fit if you want to beat the warriors. wtf?
Jalen sounds like it physically hurts for him to speak. He sounds like he's reading off a prompter, always.
Harden without cp had a 17 point lead in GS and 15 point lead in Houston before the refs stepped in you add Lebron a and Paul it’s game over
Of course he doesn't want Lebron in Houston. We put the fear of God in him and the rest of them assholes in Get Up! who had counted us out when he had the Warriors in a 3-2 hole, and now they're ******** themselves at the idea we could actually finish the job the next time once we get Lebron.
Well too bad is not what jalen or anyone on the media wants. So they don’t complain anymore about the warriors being too dominant. If they keep their team like this they can win every year for 5 or 6 years with us being the only one able to challenge. Is that fun? No it’s not when you know who’s gonna win and that no other team stands a chance. The media just loves the warriors right now coz they are located in California and near San Francisco and Silicon Valley. They don’t want any other team challenging them or taking their championship run. Hope lebron join us or if not gp13 and dj if we can’t afford Capela and if he is willing to get a pay cut. So yea we don’t care what jalen think bring lebron bring gp13 too ;p
man I can pull up video showing Rose said he want to see LeBron to Houston and the spurs and the Lakers and phili he is irrelevant
...the next time Jalen Rose says something smart will be the first time Jalen Rose says something smart.
Yes but the unique thing about the GSW is that if you take out one of their 4 stars due to injury, they are still equipped to whip 95% of the league teams except Houston with healthy stars and Boston perhaps. If you take out one of our 3 stars, that is not really going to happen. (I am probably looking too far ahead.) Because the role players I expect to look much worse than last year, there is less cap space.
It's not about what the Warriors do, but what Lebron and CP3 can do. They can end this Warriors' dominance if they want to. Just take a big paycut to keep the Rockets roster intact and you will beat the Warriors.
None of these fn goons want LBJ to come to Houston bc they know we can/will win a championship or two in the next 2-3 years. F them
"He can't build Golden State 2.0, there are no great options so he should just stay in Cleveland!" I don't get that from Windhorst, Rose and whoever else. Well yeah, actually there. Certainly better than staying in Cleveland. 4 years in Miami, 2 titles. 11 years in Cleveland, 1 title. But yeah, he should totally stay in Cleveland, totally trust Dan Gilbert and the revolving door front office. Spoiler Boston is his best option, followed by the Rockets. Spoiler I don't want to hear he can't go there because Kyrie is there. Stop it. Boston checks every box. Ownership, GM, coach, shooters, high basketball IQ, big who can stretch the floor.
