    Popular to what ESPN would have you believe, just because they laid him off does not mean he's also lost his freedom of speech. Crazy times we live in.

    It's hard to tell where the mountain of salt stops, and Tim Legler begins. He's become one with the hate.

    Pretty sure the constitution or ten commandments say something like, "You can take away our jobs, but you'll never take our personal Twitter accounts!".

    It's because Harden has better, HOF level teammates. Everybody with EYES can see this! And don't forget the Rockets coaching advantage!!

    Kevin O'Conner from the Ringer picked Houston in 5 on Bill Simmons' most recent podcast...

    Truly a #mediaconspiracy at this point... Everyone playing the reverse jinx curse...

    I'm honestly worried about 3 players... Mills, LMA and Dedmon. I'll let Kawhi pivot travel all he wants and get his. But we have to shut down these 3 somehow.

    he'll either look like a genius if he's right or a dumbass if he's wrong

    Rockets in 5 is a very bold prediction

    Pau Gasol is still a double double threat and David Lee can still chip in 10 - 12 points a night.

    Wow, Duncan really picked the Rockets in 6? That actually surprises me.

    Have to think those that are picking the Rockets in 6 are assuming the Rockets get back to hitting that 3pt shot as a MUCH, MUCH better clip. We'll see.

    BTW, Rockets hater Kevin Pelton had the Spurs in 6 in the Rockets 5x5 Insider column. Said he initially wanted to go with Spurs in 5.

    I was a little shocked as well. He said that he believes that the Rockets are the better team just like he believed that the Jazz were the better team against the Clippers. He said that the Spurs have disappointed in the playoffs the last few years and that the Rockets spacing and shooting advantage should overcome the Spurs' slow down/2 big approach as Pop is reluctant to play Kawhi at the 4 with LMA at the 5. He also said that however wins game 2 could determine who wins the series as he could see the Spurs winning game 1 relatively comfortably.
