    Chosen or not, unless they draft the next LeBron they are most likely going to be insignificant for many years to come.

    I can dig it, man.

    Who would have thought before the season began that Harden would have a 16 assist game, and we are all kind of ho-hum about it, and discussing other glorious things about the trouncing of Dallas, and the possibilities of this team.

    pretty cool :cool:

    We're low-key becoming a super team. My prediction that the Rockets will come out of the West may not have been so crazy after all.

    Mavs will be nice in a couple years when they draft Jayson Tatum and Michael Porter Jr

    good game, Dekker's dribbling is funny:D, Harden seems improved a lot on the timing of passing out of being doubled, this could be huge for payoff.

    Mavs are irrelevant now. There is no need to boast about beating them anymore. Just business as usual for the Rockets.

    Dude loves you all.

    If we keep up our home and road winning percentages, we'll be 32-9 at home and 27-14 on the road for a total of 59 wins. That would surpass our 58 win season and highest regular win total. That was in 1993-1994. That season ended well.

    Their best player was some Canadian guy with a mullet in training. Our best player is a badass Artesian with a giant impenetrable beard and a mohawk. Only similarity is MDmA. Our second best player is a superhero trying not to reveal his true identity, theirs was an Elmer Fudd type that fell for one of Horry's Trix which was meant for kids.

    2016-2017 Rockets > Mullet led Suns

    I agree James Harden is definitely better than Steve Nash. Now tell me who do we have as good as Stoudemire and Marion

    they also had good players in and out such as Quentin Richardson, Joe Johnson, Leandro Barbosa, bell, diaw, dragic, Grant Hill, shaq

    dont tell me the rockets have anyone as versatile as Shawn Marion or as dominant on as amare. if Clint could shoot then he would be better. However he relies solely on Harden to score and that is a fatal flaw come playoff time.

    The suns had 2 way players who could all put the ball on the floor and score all over their roster. The Rockets do not.

    We don't have to be light years ahead in the 2nd best game when our 1st best is light years ahead of the old best. Try to be reasonable. Rockets4LIFE, Suns4ANTIQUITY

    Great work by the vets and the hungry young Rockets! Every win against the Mavs is greatly welcomed.

    The Suns never had all of those guys at the same time, nor were they in the primes.

    Trevor is easily doing what Marion was doing on the Suns.

    Bev is 100x better than Barbosa

    Harden is doing better than anyone on that team

    The dude will also stand for this, which gives you double the pain.

    Harrell, Dekker, Capela, are also better AND younger than most of those guys were when MDA was head coach at Penix.

    We don't have Joe Johnson, big whoop. Nobody even cares about that,

    a younger MDA was sharper, an older MDA maybe wiser?

    Wes Mathews will come to Houston for cheap.
