    +1.

    I also think the Rockets will catch the league by surprise this year, not dissimilar to last year's horrendous season, difference being we will be on the winning side.

    Whatever happened last year is water under the bridge. Players need to come out each and every game with their best efforts, play as team winning or losing, just with a renewed sense of camaraderie.

    Such a fluff piece. If Harden returns to MVP level, this team is still likely not that good, and it would be unfair to blame him

    "we are not a super team."

    Yeah, that's pretty obvious.

    As much as I rag on Harden for his lack of defensive effort, I'm glad we secured him to a long term contract. I was honestly worried he would leave for LA at the first chance.

    Man, that "Super-team" sentence will be the only thing some will take from that whole thing.

    He also said they'll play hard, so the team should look nothing like last year

    Hopefully he has some help next year, one guy cant do it all. No "supermen" needed, just some dudes who can hit open jumpers, set good screens, and go after the ball hard.

    it's sad when our own fans don't realize it's 100% a shot at GSW

    That doesn't help. Like they will care as they polish off their rings next year

    you may have them penciled in - I don't.

    I've seen this play before and it doesn't end in a ring.

    They might not. Cavs and Spurs still legit contenders.

    Personally I'm hoping they have chemistry issues and fail

    Say what you want about Morey and Harden, but they are definitely leaving a positive impression

    They must be doing something right
