    Wrong 76ers will be a team that can beat them.

    They would probably be out of the playoffs. CP was barely effective in Rnd 1 and Harden is out now but I wish both the best.

    false. they don't have a chance, especially with the wear and tear on Embiid's meniscus tear. The longer that series goes on the worse it is for him. they probably aren't even going to beat Atl

    I've been rooting for Phoenix and Brooklyn pretty much since we knew where this Houston team was headed. Them meeting in the finals would be a best case scenario, IMO. I'd love to see either guy get a ring, and just getting to the Finals at all would be huge for their legacies.

    My gut still tells me the Suns are a long shot to get there, though. Utah or the Clippers would be tough WCF opponents for Phoenix.

    First tech would be CP3 groping some manboobs.

    So literally supporting the one team we should be rooting for to fail as we need their team to suck for the picks to be worth anything? Why carry on posting on a Rockets forum if you're a Brooklyn fan?

    I can vouch for VC, he is a Rockets fan. I believe he was just kidding
    when he wrote, "whatever."

    Keep posting, I like your passion for the Rockets

    Always humours me when people have nothing good to come back with so they post an inane meme picture to try and cover it up. Nice try, sparky.

    So close with those 2 as rockets, but should be a good match series.

    Not sure how I’ll feel. I would want Cp3 to win. I really don’t like how Harden forced his way out.

    I still agree that moving CP3 was the right choice at that time given what we saw and his age. We were wrong, looking back. But I think it was absolutely justified. The trade though, the picks and getting WB — that I can’t justify. But maybe NOBODY worth a damn was available for Cp3 and we had to either pull trigger or assume we were f’ed in the situation we currently face w John Wall.

    I was positive CP3s career was essentially over and that his salary would preclude us from even attempting to compete. I was wrong and he definitely rebounded. But again, given the information at the time management had to make the choice to flip him ASAP.
