I love this current Rockets team. This has been my favorite team to watch of all the Rockets teams. Better than any team in the James Harden era. They move the ball everyone defends at a high level with no excuses and they score at all 3 levels. Stone has done an amazing job building this team. I will rank him higher, than over rated Daryl Morey any day of the week. In my opinion there have been 3 teams that have not missed in building a great team. Orlando, Detroit, and Houston that's it. All done on rebuilds. Shout out to Stone again.
Desmond Bane has become just what the Magic expected. What a great duel with Cade. Cade executed a textbook deliberate FT miss that gave the Pistons a game-tying 3-point attempt at the buzzer that was blocked.
do you think the rockets were in the NBA cup pool of death because the NBA wanted Dallas and Lakers in the same pool?
Pretty obvious NBA higher ups pushed a memo to keep the Spurs relevant while Wemby is out. Julian Champagnie is getting 10 free throws by himself and DeAaron Fox is cheesing fouls every game. Three obvious incorrectly called out of bounds calls went the Spurs way in the last 3 minutes of this Nuggets game. Changed everything.
