    I don't think any optimist would be delusional enough to say that we're the favorites for every game. But, as an optimist, I think that if CP3 continues playing well, Clint comes back healthy and Shumpert is a quality 3&D guy, we'll have a chance to win all of the remaining games.

    It's also just too difficult to bet against the greatness of James Harden. We're watching the greatest individual run since I dunno, 1990?

    Presti drafted Harden and only traded him away because ownership was cheap. Seems like a trait that Tillman shares with the OKC owners.

    Which one out of Zhou / Melo / Chriss / Knight / Ennis / MCW / House / Baldwin / Stauskas and every other player that's come through and left, is or has the potential of, a Harden? Please advise.

    Out of that list House has the most potential, but that's not the point. The point is that OKC's owners were cheap, and it cost them titles. Tillman seems to be cheap as well.

    we're not losing our key players due to owner cheapness. that's what happened to OKC.

    now that trade deadline's gone, time to focus on the playoff seeding. i'm happy if we can get to top 3, in that case we would avoid worriers untill west finals

    think about it...Fartita has paid washed up declining injury prone cp3 40 mil per... he may be dumb but he aint no cheap @Carl Herrera who started this cheapness crusade was just bitter at rockets for dumping 2Pat

    Tilman angling for the 4 or 5 so we can face the warriors earlier and we don't have to pay CC's WCF bonus

    That's f*cking depressing, man. So, if we make the WCF, we've basically wasted this season being cheap just to get swept by the Warriors.

    Concerned about our lack of rim protection especially in this game.

    Nene will have to play some big minutes.

    Rockets by 3.

    Feels like it's been forever since a Rockets game.

    Can't wait to see what Shump can do against Westbrook and PG.
