    First, they doubt you.
    Second, you win.
    Third, you become the narrative.

    No one thought the jump-shooting warriors would win their first championship.
    I'm not married to the small ball rockets but...

    Let's Be Honest.

    Quit ******** on your team whenever they lose.
    You can grab your rage suit when/if they go fishing in June.

    If we check the numbers, and if my calculations are not wrong, considering the 5 teams with the best records in the West, the Rockets are the team that has the highest loss percentage against teams with losing records: Rockets 52%, Nuggets 50%, Clippers 47%, Utah 36% and Lakers 23%.
    The best team in the league in this area are the Bucks with 11%.
    Simply numbers ...

    This is interesting. I wonder of those same 5 teams in the West who has the highest winning percentage vs winning or playoff teams? I admit that I haven't done any calculations, but I am curious.

    I think small ball suits for 15 man rotation. everyone can run with full energy. 9 man is not ok. It is better use a tall center for 10 minutes. It can increase one more weapons for Houston

    Here we see Chris pretend he's not part of the problem. I would not in 9000 years foresee Jason McIntyre make any more relevant points than he did here. Called out Mr. Sauces for shifting the goal posts after doing it over and over in this video. He can't help but trip over himself. Interesting how personal it got for Chris when DM was clearly talking about projecting the beauty of the sport and how it's changing before our eyes.

    Denver got blown out at home by the Warriors. I actually think the Knick’s loss demonstrates that our style works despite the loss. How many teams can get destroyed on the boards by 30 plus disparity, shoot like complete crap, give up a high field goal percentage, yet still have a chance to win?

    It helps when you're playing the 2nd worst team in the league

    complaining because you dont see more midrange shots ? lol

    the warriors didnt win because of midrange, they won because they had the most fukking talent and their pieces fit.

    how broussard broke into this business i will never understand. dimwitted, annoying AF, and that whiny mother-in-law voice -- it's like the perfect storm of cringe

    Small ball really needs Super Bench.
    Lou Williams, Harrell, Shamet, Reggie Jackson, Ja Green
    12 man would be enough, sample
    Rockets big Five + Dwight Howard, Kuzma + Lou Williams, Harrell, Shamet, Reggie Jackson, Ja Green

    mcLemore, House and Carroll are not playable against Lakers/Clippers teams.

    None of the guys you list can switch everything on defense - what is wrong with you?

    Do you even follow the team????

    It's funny you say that. After watching that crap I was just thinking that I should have went to journalism school. This dude has 0 credibility but he keeps getting paid handsomely. What a joke.

    Broussard is moron of the nth order.

    How is this guy getting paid to spout such inanities? He hates the modern era that is evident. He lacks not just basketball knowledge but his lack of self awareness is incredible.

    Jason McIntyre is better than I thought.

    Hollins still believes.

    Better than some Rockets fans.
