    This made me hard. Man, I remember as an 8-10 year old kid watching those teams thinking 3 point shots werent anything to get excited about cause we made so many of them back in the day. This is a fantastic random tidbit.

    If you believe things come in three's, why not? Especially with our history.

    Second, we can play sharper and better, become a even more efficient team. No doubt.

    Third, even if Durant comes back, what kind of shape he will be in? A hobbled Durant is not better than "no Durant".

    An opening has been cast by the bb Gods, and it is up to the Houston Rockets to take advantage of it.

    Are you implying that the Bearded One is as good as No. 34?

    Think about this for a minute...

    We are discussing the Rockets winning it all. And it's mid-March. Sure, they're not the favorites, but they've had a regular season that puts them in the discussion to go far in the playoffs and maybe, possibly, bring Larry O'Brien back to his proper home. It might surprise a lot of people, but not nearly as much as, say, the Thunder, Grizzlies, Pacers, Wizards, etc.

    In May-August of last year, most of CF was talking about whether or not we'd even make the playoffs. Now we're a legit title contender.*

    * Assuming we can ramp up the defense a little.

    TBH feel like we can compete with anyone even with our defense, only problem is that we literally live by three die by three. We go cold = likely lose.
