This is why I keep saying just stay the course. Get Jimmy to be ur second best player so cp3 moves to 3rd best...then win a chip next year. People are real silly. Like people we have a top five player in the NBA. No matter how we dog him. He still a top 5 player....its only 5 of those guys. If u have one u have a chance...every year. Get more talent around him. Cp3 butler harden Clint is a great core.
I'm guessing the Warriors/Blazers series might give a little more appreciation to what our crew actually achieved. No game was more than 6 point spread in Rox vs Warriors FIRST time in NBA history for a semi final round Blazers get blown out by 22 in game 1. Can they win even 1 game? Stay tuned
The series was stolen from us by the refs...if you as a rockets fan cant be objective, then what to expect from the refs and the media? Smh
Portland: 27-31 Free Throws Golden State: 15-18 Free Throws All of a suddent Golden State are Hackeroids And Portland flawless defense Rocket River
Portland is a darling underdog. If they lose, the general media will be like "well they tried". When rockets lose to the same team without KD, <insert world is falling apart comment>. Even if unlikely, I root for Blazers (or any of the remaining) teams to beat GSW.
I think this series may find many of the kneejerk "ABANDON THE SYSTEM" truthers eating crow. The system is not perfect. At times, it isn't aesthetically pleasing. This season in particular, it could have been bolstered by better personnel. However, it has kept us fairly competitive with the Warriors for consecutive seasons now, despite a sizeable talent gap.
I am still harping on the fact that Our Coach didn't use all the players we had we left talent on the bench all series Rocket River
