    The number 1 rule of stock buying is that past performance GUARANTEES future results

    This is true.

    Let's just allow the play to do the talking for us.

    Going against the Rockets as a pundit makes sense. As long as the Rockets don't beat the Warriors (a likely bet) they can say they're right. Even if the Rockets are definitively the 2nd best team in the NBA and show that in the playoffs, all the naysayers on Harden, CP3, and D'Antoni would still be "correct" because they still can't make the finals and therefore playoff chokers.

    And if the Rockets do beat the Warriors, then they'd just say, "Well the Rockets proved everyone wrong NO ONE saw that coming" which would technically be correct because even the people who like the Rockets would still take Warriors over us.

    Please send this script to Harden because he is going rewrite the script and get the scriptwriter fired.

    Hell I love the Rockets and Harden and I'm even a little concerned about how we'll perform come playoff time.

    Can't get mad at members of the national media for stating the obvious.

    James and CP3 will just have to show and prove!

    these journalists are too scared to think outside the box. they all keep it safe and regurgitate the same bullshit over and over.

    they fail to realize that in sports, anything can happen. Yes we understand the narrative of overwhelming favorites and underdogs but so many times in sports does a guy who never got it done, finally gets it done.

    it's unfair to bring up past failures without mentioning the reasons why it failed.

    Shaq didn't win until he teamed up with Kobe

    Jordan didn't win until he teamed up with Pippen

    Drexler didn't win until he teamed up with Hakeem

    LeBron didn't win until he teamed up with Wade/Bosh

    Durant didn't win until he teamed up with GS

    but for some reason Harden and Paul can't do the same

    I think people are now purposely searching for media against the Rockets
    I didn't even know Chris Carter did basketball

    He's actually really knowledgeable on the topic given he's a former football player. I much prefer listening to him on these morning shows than the likes of Kellerman or Bayless.

    He's just kicking himself because he didn't buy Rockets stock when the BBS was dumping theirs after Game 6. Now the price is too high.

    Well MVP is for the regular season. He's questioning playoff Harden.

    He's decided to fill the shoes of SAS and Kellerman now that they've fallen in line. SOMEBODY has to be the contrarian on these shows, and for Gottlieb, playing the heel is the only way he can stay relevant.

    These fu*king clowns.... all they ever do is pull up bs from the pass or Harden doesn't play defense.
    But they're too dumb to acknowledge this is a totally different team and the way they're playing this season on both ends of the court was totally diff from last year. And previous year where harden "flame" out... well motherF*kers are still too dumb to acknowledge that Harden was a 1 man show & he took the rockets to the playoff by his will.. yea he "flamed out.." because he was a 1 man team.. Same w/ CP3 with injuries to blake..
    This dumba** and the two sheeps agreeing w/ the garbage coming out of his mouth are so called sports analyst... but they still couldn't tell the difference in the squad we have now & what we didn't have before...
    i don't watch any of these show, first thing first, steven ass smith w/ the dumbfound kellerman and other idiots out there because most to all of them speaks like this one.
    i get aggravated from seeing clips you guys have in this group. lol

    When you do 24 coverage you have to keep talking. I watch the games and highlights of the rest of the NBA on thier app and I'm better for it. I don't need anybody telling me something that my eyes say different. Who cares? We will never be favorites. That's good. Keeps them humble and hungry. Both CP3 and Harden have big chips on thier shoulders so we keep that feeling for the rest of the season into the playoffs. Then at the championship parade we give the nicest **** you speech to the entire Talking Head division of the sportsworld and go on into summer baseball where we continue our dominance.
