    Now they have a chance to win 2 elimination games against Utah and come back from a 3-1 deficit.....just like the 95 squad.

    Parallels are freaky

    Missing that heart of a champion thingy... Picking fights like b1tches in games they are getting blown out. Led by their fearless leader hitting people in the back and hiding behind teammates.

    I don't mind teams bringing up old Rockets comparisons to try and psych themselves up. It just proves how magical that run was and what a legend Hakeem was.

    It's going to be interesting to see how long they stay stuck in mediocrity. We all know Westbrook will get worse with age since his game relies so heavily on athleticism.

    That 28mil Melo opt in is going to kill their cap. Presti should get a statue outside Toyota center. Traded us Harden and took Melo off our hands.

    I AGREE 10000%, Math! I said the same thing in another thread.. ON FRIDAY!

    Since the OK3 flame out there has been two game 7, two second round games, NFL Draft, Carmelo's disastrous exit interview, etc.. OK3's failure has been pushed all the way to the back. Russ' and PG13's MONUMENTAL failure has been severely diminished because of 2 straight days of sports stories. The conversation has already turned to if PG13 will stay..

    I'm sitting here thirsty for an OK3 media take down that is being dwarfed by "is Lebron Underrated?". ug..

    If I could just save that feeling I had Friday night after the OK3 washed out of the first round.... I would put it in a Trust so it could appreciate in value and give it to my children to enjoy when they turn 18..
