    Seriously, ESPN is terrible.

    I seriously think Broussard, Ford and the rest of the ESPN "experts" just sit in the basement in Bristol Connecticut and smoke weed all day and eat $5 pizza from Seven Eleven... then check their phone and parrot back what every other "source" says. Except for Broussard, he cannot operate a cell phone with a lazy eye, so he just randomly connects players to Cleveland, NY or LA.

    PUFF PUFF...... PASS

    He's figured it enough to admit he just didn't care about defense and needs to play both ends. It takes more maturity to own up to it. Meanwhile, James continues to sort-of-kind-of admit he doesn't really play it and says he'll improve it for the second summer in a row.


    Care to explain why? Is it not true?

    since ESPN is in the mode of making make believe rosters...
    sign and Trade James Harden, TJones plus Jeremy Lin to the Knicks for Melo.
    sign and trade Omer, Parsons, and Daniels for Milsap and Korver
    Get Lebron to opt out...

    Dwight
    Milsap
    Lebron
    Melo
    Beverly

    Bench:
    DMo
    Covington
    Korver
    Hamilton
    Kevin Garnett(vet min)

    It sounds like we all owe a measure of thanks to the pilot of that private jet that took Dwight to Aspen last year.

    Thanks pilot! You convinced Dwight to come to Houston! Where he promptly bought a plane and parked it in his giant LegoLand Plane Bunker.

    My buddy's boss's wife was right next door to him in Aspen(true story).

    Kudos to her.

    She was one of the many that Dwight met in Aspen, from Houston, with her were about 6 other couples, so...thank you again.

    As for LeBron, how do we do this guys?

    I wanted to put fart dialogue clouds next to the actual vapor trail clouds on there, but come on, Dwight's a Rocket now. We're laughing WITH you, not at you Dwight!

    James Harden carries most of the offensive load on a 50 win team. Jeremy Lamb is bench fodder. James Harden is a first team All NBA player. Lamb does not get off the bench for playoff games.

    Stop posting this nonsense.

    Yes, ESPN is a joke half the time. Heck, more than half the time. Where I beg to differ, Nook, is that if Broussard, Ford and the rest of the ESPN "experts" were getting loaded on some Roso Wu or Maui, they'd be writing better BS! ;-)-

    This team as currently constructed, is simply a head coach and starting point guard away from being an elite championship contender. Its just a shame that we need to hide McHale's deficiencies with 3 maxed out superstars in their primes and specialized assistants.

    Do you guys think there will be a draft day deal involving the Rockets? (shedding Asik/Lin)

    Is this the most likely time it would happen?

    I think it has to be at least one of them.

    I think the Lin and Asik deals will most likely happen early in July once we get interest from a targeted free agent or free agents.

    Technically an Erik Spoelstra combo with Dragic would suffice for at least WC Finals.

    I didn't realize carrying an offensive load made him unable to verbalize and work on his defensive weaknesses. His mouth bone must be connected to his foot bone.

    You guys are crazy to not want Melo, the dude is one of the best scorers in the league (and probably THE best ISO scorer, which as long as McHale is the coach is huge)

    The only one of those players I'd want over him is LeBron.
