The Rockets are a championship contender, says GM

There are only 2 teams that are championship contenders, and the Rockets aren't one of them.

 

I've grown numb to whatever our management says. I'll only focus on what I see out on the court.

 

The GM is a dunce.

 

Where's the LOL option?

 

Lol CH originally posted an incoherent tweet about Larry Bird and I was very confused.

 

only two teams are contenders, for at least the next few years

 

Bored guys like discussing boring topics

 

One of the choices should be LOL
Laughable quote by Morey. Who even believes this?
Do casual fans buy this bs?

 

What you talkin about Morrah.

 

Any links to the entire press conference?

 

Where Gordon at? Morey seems very confident, better be a trade coming soon!!

 

Set expectations high after overpaying.

 

Everybody is 0-0 so he is technically correct.
We do have a potential MVP though
(Would anyone exepet management to say anything diffrrent?)

And yes I am posting out of boredom.

 

If there was ever a year to pull a college football move, this would be the best season to do it. The warriors got the championship on lock so everyone else is fighting for second. Might as well bring bowl games to the NBA for a season...
May postpone the advertising on jersey for a year. I kid of course.

 

The Warriors are the only championship contender

In this video, Morey saying **** so he doesn't get fired.

 

7 starters getting starters minutes??

Harden
Gordon
Anderson
Motiejunas
Ariza
Beverly
Nene

 

Seriously if we can get our 3 point shooters shooting half way decent as the GSW this year, we have a really good chance...Also, we need to get rid of of brewer first. Noway in hell can we go anywhere with brewer playing more than 10 minutes a night.
