    The third game Harden's hurt and was on a minute restriction.

    they're excited to beat the rockets ONLY if Harden is not playing

    if Harden plays they suddenly become "bored"

    it's fine if random people actually "think"

    but he just pulled out a number when Harden actually plays

    we lost to GSD once because Harden didn't play. Not because Harden scored < 22pts

    lol. what is kenny talking about? my goodness
    We are better because others are worse? Arent these the same idiots who said OKC was #2 since they added Melo and George?
    Yes the warriors are slightly worse than the past 3 years but I don't get why you need to mention the other teams #3-8 to justify why the rockets are #1.

    Season winning percentages for the past few years.
    0.772 Rockets
    0.817 Warriors
    0.890 Warriors
    0.817 Warriors
    0.756 Spurs
    0.805 Miami
    0.758 Bulls
    0.756 Bulls

    Kenny can't even bring himself to say Houston has elevated itself into the elite air that GSW has solely occupied the last 4 seasons.

    Yes, Clippers are worse but Wolves (Butler acquisition) and OKC (PG and Melo acquisitions) have also improved and filled that vacuum.

    And tinman posting Kellerman's show is the height of all hypocrisy. You are a complete SHAM after calling out everyone who posted Max's takes in past, just own it.

    Does nothing to address my statement. I remember the following nicknames vividly:

    Big E, Pocket Rocket, Big Mo, Chairman of the Boards, Twin Towers, Dream, Mad Max, Choke City, Clyde the Glide, Sam I Am, Junkyard Dog, Clutch City, Air Bullard, Franchise, Cat, Great Wall, TMac, Icecream Man, Linsanity, Beard, Superman, A3za, CP3, Prince, Acapela, etc.

    The OP didn't have a video associated with it. Posting a video doesn't mean anything except, posting a video.

    He's saying the KD/CP3 moves made everyone else worse.

    I don't see a flaming the Rockets attitude here, but you know, everyone is super sensitive now about the Rockets

    Everything on this site is what Rockets fans think my dude.

    And being young doesn't take away from what the Rockets did in the past.

    Excuse me if I do care what other's think about when it comes to something I care about. Part of being a fan is embracing the us against the world mentality. I don't see a difference between homerism and realism in terms of fandom. Both are fans of my team, both are cool in my book.

    We are the 1 seed at a time in the regular season that we have never been before ever.

    The Rockets winning as 2nd and 6th seed (I have to correct a 99er?) is remarkable because it doesn't happen often. Every other seed behind the 1st seed COMBINED has won 26% of the championships. Excuse me for wanting my Rockets to have every advantage possible be it home-court or math.

    Cleveland lost to the 1 seed in the finals, so by your championship or bust mentality, who cares.

    A Rockets fan that judges other Rockets fan's fandom. You are Britta level "the worst."

    LOL. You are talking out of both sides of your mouth again. But this no surprise as you you will go to any extreme, even contradicting previous stances, to push your banal agendas.

    The video shows the truth.

    I don't see Kenny acting like he's FLAMING the Rockets.

    Maybe you do.

    my agenda is the truth.

    It is your OPINION, just like it's Kenny's opinion. Get a clue.

    Of course I remember him. Who knows what happens in that Orlando series had it not been for his game 1 heroics.

    Interesting that his decline started at only 30-31.

    If Houston SWEEPS GS in the playoffs, Shaq, Kenny, and Charles will all talk about how LUCKY the Rockets were, that everything fell just right for them, and GS was inexplicably OFF. They will NEVER give props to the Rockets. You can forget about it, will never happen.

    Well, Kenny Smith flaming the Rockets is what one Rocket fans thinks.

    He didn't sound like that to me, watch the video.

    I like how this turns out to be a Kenny Smith dissing what he did as a player thread, but you guys do what you do.
    I remember what he did as a player and I can separate it from his NBA takes.

    It's not my fault the newer fans are being overly sensitive right before the all star break.

    because you know, we will 3 championships and they will tear down Hakeem's statue

    The video isn't my opinion.

    The video wasn't posted, so I posted it so people can make their own judgements.

    Sorry, VIDEOS ARE NOT OPINIONS.

    You realize if anyone else posted that Kenny Smith video based on the first post, they wouldn't be insulted.

    HAHAHAHA

    No dude, I'm just a Rockets fan who wants to see the video and make my own judgement.

    You can be angry, I can't stop that. Let it out.
