    Shout out to Stone as well for putting this team and staff together, another great win.

    [Kevin O'Connor] "League sources say the Rockets demanded Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, and three first-round picks from the Sixers in return for Harden."

    This team will still need Jalen to become that dominant perimeter scorer. There are signs.

    The Rockets are just a bad matchup for Cleveland. They are soft and unathletic outside of Mobley. The Rockets abused that European team who plays in the NBA.

    Nice thread brother!

    At this point our team chemistry appears off the charts. I'd be hesitant to mess with that unless its a clear upgrade.

    Stay the course and let these guys continue to blossom.

    With that if you could add a RW3 for Jock and a 2nd, that would make for an elite defensive rotation.

    We're seeing our shooting improve with Green's consistency improving and FVV rising out of his funk. I'm still hopeful that Sheppard will give us something and Bari returning later this year.

    Unacceptable. We have one of the great stories this year as an unheralded and upcoming team coming from mediocrity last year to becoming a top 4 team but get no respect from ESPN. What’s on their NBA page right now? The fuc%ing Lakers and Warriors.

    No respect

    I’ve seen a lot of people unhappy about the choices for nationally televised games this season, this also being one of them.

    The Houston Rockets look like the Miami Heat plus more All Stars added.

    LeBron James - Amen Thompson
    Dwyane Wade - Jalen Green
    Chris Bosh/ Kevin Garnett - Jabari Smith
    Luis Scola/ Kevin McHale - Alperen Sengun
    Kawhi Leonard - Tari Eason
    Carmelo Anthony/ Jaylen Brown - Cam Whitmore
    Steve Nash, Stephen Curry - Reed Sheppard

    I love this team, but we may need to pump the brakes here. If you’re talking potentially? Sure I’ll bite

    Similar Skills it looks like they follow certain players and modeled their game after them.
    Example - Cam Whitmore is from Maryland and followed Carmelo Anthony.
    Jalen Green is from Fresno, CA followed Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant.
    Learning and watching Top Scorers.

    When Sengun, Green and Thompson are on… we are a legit contender. Loving what I’m seeing, it’s been the funnest team to watch in quite some time.

    Not enough experience, we need to get through the first round. That would mean alot for this core
