    Just a great quote, especially using the word when instead of 'if' :grin: Not saying he's certain of anything regarding free agents but just very interesting nonetheless. Do you guys believe that the Rockets will make the Finals in the next, let's say, 3 to 5 years?

    I think they can but a lot of will hinge on Harden and other stars playing defense. They need to realise that is where championships are won, it is so great to watch guys like Green, Diaw and Leonard to be able to contain Lebron and have him take tough shots. If we can see this team playing some defense, near top 10, I think we can be scary good and go to the Finals easily. We have the personnel already to be a great defensive team with Beverley, Asik, Parsons, Terrence Jones, Lin & Harden. Ow boy, I cannot wait!

    Opening this thread feels like shearing a swine. All cry and no wool.

    You had much better posts before.

    I'm more concerned with Daryl's apparent heart trouble. I want to make the finals as much as the next fan, but not at the expense of his life. The only thing to do is to beat Miami so badly, the outcome is never in doubt.

    The Heat will probably win this year,but they are vulnerable. If the Pacers hadn't made a last minute mistake,they would have been knocked out.

    Bruh, the Heat can't be beat. Maybe after Wade retires we may have a shot.

    The heat aren't beatable? Man if this NBA playoffs have proved anything it is that the Heat are definitely beatable.

    Beatable in a game or two. Not over a series. LeBron is too good m8.

    Edited.

    Come on. Wade has actually made Lebron WORSE these playoffs and the Heat WORSE these playoffs. They need to get what they can for Wade this off season.

    LeBron will just elevate his game and carry the team on his back doe.

    We finally get a star, with the chance to get another, but it will all be in vain ask long as LeBron is playing.

    I can't deal with these feels. :(

    If Wade is back next year, I do not think the Heat dominate.

    The Spurs didn't win game 6 because of LBJ, the Spurs didn't win it because of the Spurs.

    They make one more FT or get one more offensive rebound and this series is over.

    Wade will do what Kobe did to fix his knees. Then they'll win 73 games encounters to the third title.

    LBJ went beast mode, without his headband. Trip-dub and they won. The sight of him caused Kawhi to choke at the line and the gravitational field around his forehead directed the ball to Boshasaurus like a meteor to Earth.

    Speak fo yo self.

    Imagine a world where you get one wish but someone in the world died if you took it...I'd wish the Rockets and Texans win a championship like right now. If it just so happened to be at the expense of Morey, well ok, so be it.

    I have never met the guy, seems nice, but if we win a title his job is done in my books.

    I can only imagine how stressful it is for someone like him. Watching that unravel was hard to stomach, and I pretty much can't stand either team.
    Bruh, they pretty much did last night. Refs saved their butts.

    Bruh bruh, only losers blame the refs.

    I think he'd be better off at playing footba-hey, wait a second :mad:

    If that is indeed what occurred, I wouldn't call them intangibles. Statistics can measure the effect of Lebron James' headbandless head's effect on the gravitational field around him, and thus can predict the areas on the court where the ball is most likely to go on a miss. This information can be used to find players who typically rebound in those areas. Thus, using Lebron's gift to his teams advantage.
