    Yay! Nothing to celebrate yet. It's great and all, but I think some are already taking things for granted around here. Enjoy the ride.

    I’d feel better about having the best record in the NBA if in order for us to get there the Leonard-less Spurs hadn’t beaten the former “best-record” team.

    Spurs and GSW be some good mofo teams.

    We’ll have some hiccups on the way but if we are healthy come playoff time? It’ll be exciting.

    The idea that we gave up too much for CP3 was hilarious then, and it’s equally hilarious now.

    It was immediately obvious that we would significantly increase our win total after we signed our depth. The question was never if, but by how much.

    For those wondering, the Rockets have 11 B2Bs the rest of the way. So this will all even out.

    And BTW, I hate these kinds of threads. We always jinx the Rockets when we start talking about the standings.

    Opponents' PPG 2016-17: 109.6.
    Opponents' PPG 2017-18: 102.7.

    MVPs: Tucker, Mbah a Moute, Ariza, Bzdelik. And, per game, CP.

    Curry 3 points ranked 72th in NBA. He is dropping. I think spurs is our biggest opponents to demonstrate the value of cp3. He is a coach playing in the court. Leonard from spurs, IT in cleverland and Gobert in Celitics will join back their team soon, we still not yet know their power of full team. Anyway, we must win more to get home advantage first. I also hope Anderson and Gordon play the best this year. For next year, I prefer to upgrade by getting back Lou williams and Michael Beasley rather than losing our capela, ariza, gordon and anderson to get leborn james. I think Leborn can only play well on the top for 2 years only. If he joins, nba will not give mvp to harden due to we are super team.
