    The Rockets of the 1718 season may be the strongest Rockets team in history to me. We have excellent team and a keen sense of competition.We won 65 games.We're only one healthy thigh short of CP3 from winning the championship.I have always believed in this.To tell you the truth, I am still immersed in G7's failure from time to time.

    So, after this off-season reinforcement, we got Russell, we brought Rivers and House back, and we also have a stronger Harden 13, can we even exceed the height of the 1718 season?

    I don't think the NBA was in existence in 1718

    65 games is a humongous accomplishment and you need a lot of things to go your way and a lot of luck
    i like to think this squad can do even better...
    last years squad seemed unmotivated and not hungry to prove something
    with russ here it might change

    Unfortunately, so is the rest of the West. They need another piece to be a favorite for the 'chip, IMO.

    Still, 54-58 wins should be fun to watch, and they'll have a punchers chance at the title. Or this thing will blow up like adding Carmelo did, but we should know that within the first 25 games or so.

    疯狂伊文=crazy ivan,He's a combat unit in RTS computer game《Red Alert》,He's a bomb-laden terrorist, and his price is very low, but he can die with his opponent's expensive combat units, which can play a great strategic significance.

    戴德蒙=Dewayne Dedmon(Now Kings center, once Spurs center in the 16'17 season)
    My member name was inspired by Rockets and Spurs playoffs in the 16'17 season.

    I clearly remember that in the series, Dedmon kept trying to provoke conflicts with abuse and ugly physical contact, trying to provoke Harden and Nene to anger, lure Harden and Nene into more intense conflicts with him, let the referee notice him, and ban him, Harden and Nene together

    I have always believed that this is Popovich's cunning tactic to achieve strategic objectives by use his cheap soldier to "perish together" with his rival's high-priced soldier

    Crazy Ivan-anyone else get "The Hunt for Red October" reference? Crazy Ivan is a move where a submarine would quickly turn around to see if another sub was following it.

    It's possible but not likely. I think one day Rockets fans will look back on the 17-18 team and realize just how great that team actually was. I admittedly undersold sold them because I didn't think we were strong enough at the 3 and the 4. Regular season Ryno and Luc along with Ariza and PJ wound up being a dream combination of shooting and more importantly solid smart and tenacious defense.

    17-18 Paul was by far the best pure point guard play I have ever seen in a Rockets Uni. Harden was unbelievable as usual and even Nene was able to be a beast in spurts.

    If the 19-20 Rockets can be better than that 65 win juggernaut that was better than all time great GS with KD, then we should go ahead and start planning the parade.

    No, that's what you're talking about in Google or Wikipedia.

    My crazy Ivan is just a fighting unit of the Soviet camp in the computer game, which is divided into two camps, the Federation and the Soviet.

    The intent of game makers is to hate and mock the Soviet Union. All combat units in the Soviet camp will be at two extremes: either a huge, heavy and expensive monster or a very cheap "death squad" to mock the Soviet regime.

    I'm not disagreeing with you. I was just pointing out the unintended reference to that movie. I didn't even know the term was referenced on Wikipedia. I thought red alert ripped it off from this movie:
