    Honestly, if you feel the NBA and refs are fixed then stop watching the sport. If you are a die-hard fan and can't seem to walk away from watching (especially when we are 27-9) then watch it for what it is. Otherwise you just look like a nutjob!

    I thought this thread meant finish with the best record so I voted no. But now I realize it meant make the NBA finals.

    It's possible. It would mean upsetting San Antonio, Golden State, or both - as they would be favored most likely. But it's not outside the realm of possibilities for any team that is 27-9

    Doubters gonna doubt.

    This team has gotten better every month, starting in training camp. As of right now, I say they're WCF-bound. By April (after Morey's trade deadline voodoo), who knows how far they can go?

    Don't you have to get to that spot at least before you can comment or make observations about other teams? ...and no the Spurs don't count for him.

    Mac, Billups, and Jalen provide very little in terms of substantive analysis. Seriously, Billups...we talking free throws? And "the way they defend"? Rockets have the best free throw drawing weapon in the league in Harden and have had a really good defense with Capela and Beverley.

    Listening to guys like Nate Duncan, Matt Moore, Mike Prada, Zach Lowe and even Kevin O' Connor, just offers so much more relevant information than listening to Mac and them.

    Remain existing rotation and add one more useful player(3 point shooter, strong center or power forward score with around 18 plus in each match). Ask yao and tmac signs the old contract.

    Maybe he's been incarcerated and ideas have just been flooding through his head and this was his first opportunity to voice them. :p I'm obviously kidding and don't mean any disrespect, point is that you never know other people's circumstances.

    I used to feel this way, but I'd say in the past 2-3 years my perspective has changed. There aren't nearly as many selfish refs who try and make the game about themselves...and there aren't as many BLATANT bad calls in big games. At least that's the way I perceive it.

    We can definetely, if harden has career playoffs and plays consistent throughout the playoffs and kd/stephanie will meltdown again. Can't see us winning 4/7 against GSW if that doesnt happen. We are good, but the warriors are still stack asf

    Nor do I . I feel awkward watching him try to do analysis with the likes of Jalen Rose and Billups. He's so bad...there's nothing he really adds except to be the guy Rose and Billups show how wrong he is. The more he talks the more it shows why, as great a player he was, he never had great success in the league.

    Pretty sure he is more qualified than everyone posting on this site if that's your criteria.

    This video is weeks old and Chauncey has already changed his stance and thinks the Rockets will make the West C Finals. I don't have a link to where he says it but I saw it live. It was a section where they where doing predictions. Chauncey said he thinks the WCF will be Warriors-Rockets.
