Nope Rockets haven't won anything yet. Playoffs is a whole different beast. Do you think the Rockets two titles don't count cause they didn't win regular seasons? They won those titles because they had the stones when it counted.
I dun want to give another championship to the Warriors. Or give another to the Maverick because they won 67 games the season Dirk won MVP. (That postseason was great.)
No 94/94 championships — no clutch city. What would this place be called in Sam’s preferred universe? And a big “hell no” to giving out a championship for regular season. That’s about as bad an idea as splitting the MVP into two awards.
The reason it works in European Soccer is that they play a BALANCED schedule. The NBA, MLB, and the NFL does not.
