    It’s going to be hard for any coach to come up with a defense to stop both Harden and Westbrook from going off in the Rockets’ five-out offense.

    well yeah as of now bc this isn't something the league has seen to this level. boston tried some things that can be tweaked or altered that had some success that they didn't the prior meeting. They camped defenders at the elbows for one. it just takes that first blueprint for others to try and add to.

    People underestimate how strong the Sterling Curse is. It'll be another decade at least before that franchise even sniffs the finals.

    The newness factor is definitely one reason. The other is the type of defense it takes to stop James Harden is entirely different than one needed to stop Russell Westbrook.

    It’s easy until Eric Gordon Has his knee surgery on fall. His production would be better, and then Tilman could pay luxury tax for his 76 million contract? We will see...

    A final's appearance ain't easy.

    We can agree on that otherwise those 20+ years of drought would not have taken place.

    Capeala had them shook.

    Capeala ended up like Bob Marley of the 1980s although I'm sure he never intended to go out like he did.
