    I have to admit when this thread started I thought we had to wait for a few games before doing something this radical.

    Luckily we did, this topic has not aged very well.

    I'm not sure which is worse: your continuing love of Bill O'Brien or your continuing defense of this thread.

    Bump.

    Don’t y’all look stupid. Since you guys decided to bump my thread back in March, I thought now is the perfect time to bump my thread.


    Let’s see I was right about Cp3 being old and washed up.

    I was right about winning 50 games.

    I was right about rockets being second round team at best.

    I was right about the rockets being a treadmill team.

    We’re stuck with Chris Paul for the next 3 years. Have fun wasting harden’s prime.

    This is like betting with the casino and crowing when the roller hits a 12. We lost in 6 games to perhaps the most talented team ever assembled. Every game was close.

    Saying "I told you so" is asinine. And unless you're talking about trading Harden for Zion, this whole thread is just glue sniffing jibberish.

    Surely that loss didn't cause anyone's IQ to drop low enough to endorse this thread.

    Lol to clarify

    When you said to tank sure we were 14th in the West. But we only had like the 6th to 8th worst record.

    Even if we tanked we weren't getting one of the bottom 3 seeds. Doubt we get a bottom 5 seed even. So youre talking about a 20% shot at best for either Zion or Marount. The only 2 reasons to tank.

    This whole thread is stupid.

    Lol. I was literally right about everything. I was right about Chris Paul being old and washed up.

    I was right about them winning 50 games.

    I said they were going to be eliminated in the second round.

    I was also right about dantoni and his predictable iso offense, and now everyone wants him gone. Lol.

    I was right about rockets being a treadmill team because they are not going anywhere with cp3 and that horrible contract. I don’t see how Morey is going to be able to get rid of him. They’re going to waste hardens prime because of Chris Paul’s contract.

    Just admit you were wrong. Own up to it.

    Lol

    Let's go through your thoughts
    - No Jimmy Butler
    True enough

    - CP3 old and washed up. Stuck with him for another 4 years.
    He's old and the later years of his contract are going to hurt. But last year was he the best player in the series before he went down?
    His contract is bad. No doubt but we weren't getting Zion this year unless Harden goes down

    Coach that can't coach defense AND now offense
    Just wrong. Defence was strong for most playoffs.

    Best case scenario - Rockets win 48-50 games, make it to the playoffs only to get eliminate in the first or second round.

    They won 53 games and everyone believes they could beat the other side of the conference. They were the 2nd best team in the West.

    This teams is not going anywhere. The rockets are a treadmill team, running in place going nowhere. Not good enough to win a championship but also not bad enough to get a high draft pick.
    This is not true.
    A treadmill team is a team that gets the 6-10 seed regularly. That's not us.
    But unless you are talking about trading Harden we are not getting a high draft pick.

    It's time to tank for Zion Williamson.
    This was unrealistic. No way we got Zion even we started tanking at 11-14. Half the east still had a worse record than us.

    Doesn't Morey have a spy within the New Orleans organization? How to hyptonize them and bring Zion over to H-Town like the invasion of Poland.
