Not unless the Rockets front office pull a miracle and somehow land us Lebron James while keeping Paul and Harden. No one is coming to Houston to play under the Morey Ball Chains. We need Basketball minds infused into the way we run things.
The front office needs to stop pleasuring themselves in the media about this threes over twos garbage and let gameplans evolve from game to game in the playoffs. Morey also needs bigger and better athletes who are tough and can win on the defensive glass and win 50/50 balls. Harden has to get the turnovers under control. Some of his turnovers are just lazy and careless. Make the easy, simple plays especially in playoff games where possessions are precious. Value the damn ball. D'Antoni can't run players into the ground during the year. Also, Mike has to stop going stupid small and surrendering the defensive glass at the first sign of trouble. He has to run some sets that may result in getting guys easy baskets sometimes. More sets could save your star players some wear & tear as well as the mental fatigue of creating offense. Tillman has to put up or shutup. Trade guys to get the ones you want but you can't win the chip and obsess over the luxury tax.
Still, it's not a team we'll beat for free, they won't decline as fast as us cause they have no old players.
