    I love Reed but Castle is definitely the superior player right now.

    Fair, I'm saying outside of the Rockets, just as a fan of the game.

    Unfortunately most teams don’t have a Wemby to roll out there against OKC. His impact on the game is insane.

    I think the Spurs future is actually brighter because of Wemby and how contracts are.

    That OKC owner is notoriously cheap. When those contracts come up we'll see who they are keeping around and who they are flipping for more draft picks.

    Only thing with Wemby though is the injury thing is a real concern. Scientifically, it just is.

    it does count against their record, only the championship game doesn’t count

    we have no hope of catching them anyways…we gotta take care of business against Denver on Monday

    OKC loses games against regular good teams too, they would have lost to this same Rockets team if the Rockets made an extra shot or two.

    I do not think this team is as intimidating as the Steph-KD Warriors, just me though. I think they lose to Denver if Gordon played and I definitely think they lose to Indy if Haliburton played.

    They are a great team but I just don't believe the 'ALL TIME' great hype yet.

    I think you can want Reed to succeed and still acknowledge how good Castle is. At this point he's at a different place in his development than Reed. A lot of that has to do with the fact that he gets to play, but there is no denying Castle is the real deal.

    Oh I thought both of these Vegas games didn't count.

    Yeah it doesn't matter either way, they are too deep and their chemistry is near perfect they aren't going to drop surprise games like the rest of these teams do.

    Rockets wouldve won if Durant made that last free throw before OT.

    The only reason I wasn’t as afraid of the KD Warriors was because of Harden and the team Houston had. That 17-18 Rockets team was so insanely good. I was young during the 90s with Hakeem so that 17-18 team was the best I’ve personally witnessed.

    It's a San Antonio issue, isn't it?

    Yep, exactly. I remember that now.

    Health willing, and that's for any playoff team, we might not be the favorites against OKC, maybe it's just a 30% chance, but I think it's a 6-7 game series.

    Oh no doubt, that was the best Rocket team other than the championship teams 100%

    If KD had never joined the Warriors I'm convinced Harden would have won him one.

    This snake KD owes us one.
