    Teams in the West are getting better. We are not. It’s really that simple.

    Maybe we can be top 5 in the West. I guess things could be worse.

    At least we have all our draft picks going forward. God forbid something happens and Harden misses some stretch of games, we'll have a top 3 pick.

    The lineup was

    Hakeem Olajuwon - one of the greatest ever, greatest rocket ever
    Clyde Drexler - one of the greatest ever
    Robert Horry - greatest clutch role player of all time
    Mario Elie - Clutch player who plays D and shoots 3s
    Kenny Smith - hated as an analyst but a high percentage shooter and doesn't turn the ball over
    Sam Cassell - turned out to be an All Star Point guard and was an unstoppable mid range shooter

    I don’t see it. We don’t have a 4, we don’t have length outside off Capela, everyone is older, dantoni is a lame duck coach. We need Harden to go bananas AGAIN. And for what? To get blamed when we’re eventually knocked out by a team with loss more talent again. I like the optimism and I usually am but I really don’t see it with this group. We have to do something.

    The only real competition Rockets would have from the East is Toronto with Leonard. Buckets, Celtics, and 76ers all got weaker.

    It is still the Leastern Conference until proven otherwise.

    Then you know why the OP's blind delusion of championships is pure fantasy

    And that you really need a deep team to win

    And that your top player can't shoot the ball all the time (Unless it's Hakeem being single covered in the post)

    I don't see how any realistic fan can sit there with a straight face and say this.

    Utah gets significantly stronger Dallas gets stronger the lakers obviously get stronger. If we don't bring back rivers we are going to be even weake .

    Lol yes, I was just commenting on the glory days. N how I long for another ring when I can actually go out n party with the city this time. I would get rid of every franchise in Houston to get another rockets ring. That's how much I love them. Everyday I read or talk shop with the fam about them
