    The only hope the Heat/Celtics have is that LeBron, in an effort to guarantee a Finals MVP, ignores Davis. But if he keeps up his all-around play, don't see how the Lakers lose and how Davis doesn't get the Finals MVP.

    Kenny and Chuck made a good point, what the hell was Horry doing at the 3 point line game 4 of the WCF??

    Thought for sure this was another comeback win for the Nuggets. Jokic definitely adjusted his game this series and almost won it for them by himself.

    Nuggets masterfully setting up the lakers for that 3-1 trap. Brilliant :D

    Am I picking nits if I dont count that? If he is shooting and says Kobe, okay. If he says Kobe after... I'm not counting that.. I don't care.. that don't count.

    I'm not going to be that guy. They're going to run that sh*t until the end of time.

    I just knew AD was gonna nail that. That's the Roy and Dame shot. Plus they've been killing the Nuggets all game with BS threes at the worst moments.

    Denver never trailed 0-2.

    Was either 1-0 or 1-1.

    It looked like the Rockets' defensive screw up on Lillard's shot that killed us. Last second communication break down and led to a wide open shot.

    My thought was that Grant was supposed switch. Otherwise, there was no reason why Plumlee didn't run after AD. LeBron wasn't setting a pick.

    Another california or Miami team meant to **** roll the league. If it aint lebron team its gotta be a team that has 4-5 stars on it, what better than to pair Lebron going against his own heat squad for another ring. The truth is the league just rigged for big stars and those who want to go play on Lebron them. Sick of lebron and the nba.

    Was hoping Lebron start to suck, but i guess he needs 2 more rings. I think it be funny if miami would beat them this year and Warriors get healthy and beat them next year in the western conference finals.

    The worst part about that Plumlee defensive mistake, is that it wasnt even a screen by lebron, he just didnt put the effort to follow AD. That play will probably cost them the series, but who knows, if the lakers get up 3-1, we know whats coming.

    that's because Les Alexander never branded the Rockets as Houston's team.
    Once Dream left and Yao came, it was 95% about China and 5% about Houston.
    It's going to be tough for Tilman to reverse all of this.

    Compared to other teams, our owners have been cheaper and poorer.
    Look, Jeff Bezos made more in one day than Les Alexander and Tilman made in their entire life.

    The Astros and Texans do not have a local identity crisis with their fans.
    They are about Houston and not foreign money.

    Depends on what you mean by sucking.

    Lebron can easily get 15-8-10 when he is 38, he has to accept a minor deal though.

    My 2 cents.

    Sad, but true. Howard has won a couple rings now and on to a 3rd with another new team.
    He's just one of many. Ugh.

    Coming to Houston hasn't won anyone a Championship, even with Harden. All their respect and glory seems to be before or after they come here, or both in some cases.

    It's because Houston doesn't care about the rockets. Its Texans 1 2 3 4 Astros 5 and rockets 10. Rockets aren't talked about on the radio or newspaper.
