    You go into a game of horse between you, Josh Smith and Russel Westbrook, who you got coming out winning that thing? I got my money on you.

    Not really, because unless they did something bad I never let my sports hatred go into the realms of personally hating someone.

    Pippen was the worst Rocket I can think of by far.

    ppl here will immediately love westbrook for how hard he plays on the offensive end...

    they'll hate him for taking breaks like Harden and taking ill-advised jumpers

    He talked s hit about the Rockets and specific teammates after his season with the team. There may be other things but that is the general reason(s) I believe.

    When was the last time a point guard rotation each shot under 30% from 3? I think both players will hover around 31% or 32%.

    Pippen left Jordan-less Bulls and came to Houston mainly due to Barkley coaxing him. Barkley even took a pay cut to help make the trade work. Once the season started, Pippen appeared to not be trying. It ended up being his worst year since he was a rookie. Barkley wasn't happy with Pippen's lack of effort, calling him "Fat and lazy". The team had no chemistry and lost in the first round after being only one game away from the Finals the year before.

    Rivers has definitely changed my opinion of him. Hopefully Russ can do the same.

    I almost thought I had to root for Derek Fisher for a second. Good thing that didn't last, I might've had an aneurysm.

    We’re like the new bad boy pistons, everyone is going to hate us. Who else do we need on the roster?

    Even worse than that, iirc it was Pippen who called Barkley fat and lazy, not the other way around.

    I didn't hate Rivers. Listen to him on podcast and media, he seems to be a down to earth guy.

    Yeah you're right, it was a long time ago. What I really disliked about Pippen was his smug attitude. He was like, so what if I'm playing poorly, I don't care if Houston wins anything.
