    The rockets are stupid. They draft stupid, coach stupid and play stupid. They don't deserve to win

    If Miami loses 4-1 or 4-0, why does it matter if they did it in the Finals vs the Rockets doing the same thing in the 2nd round? Nice accomplishment and exciting for the fans to get to the Finals, but the Heat has to win at least 2 games or the net result was the same or even worse than the Rockets. Disappointing for both teams.

    Lebron obviously has a huge advantage in "building a championship team" considering he is the biggest piece. Not like the Rockets picked Morey over Lebron or that was ever an option.

    I haven't seen anything to suggest Pelinka was a primary factor in Lebron picking the Lakers. "The decision to join the Lakers was not a surprise to his innermost circle, with one person telling The Associated Press that it had been presumed for some time that he was headed to Los Angeles next season." If Morey was the Laker's GM and Pelinka was the Rocket's GM, Lebron is almost certainly still a Laker. Lebron credits Magic more than anyone else connected with the Lakers.

    this is interesting coming from someone who thinks/thought the texans were a 11 win team minimum coming into the year

    First of all we made a bet when I was ****ing thirsty for sports in the middle of a pandemic. Second if the trash ass Texans get their **** together they could still will 11 games, stop counting money before you got it lol....and yes the rockets are stupid. Anytime you hire a bunch of Ivy league mathematicians to run your stats department only for you to formulate a game plan of "just shoot a bunch a threes" you're stupid.

    0 chance the Texans get to 11 wins. That bet was won before the season even started. It was ridiculous. You went from 7.5 set by Vegas to 11. You give Vegas 11 they’d be completely broke

    In no particular order as they’re probably all equal first.

    Competent ownership
    Competent coaching

    The games still gotta be played. But if getting Billy O the **** out cost me a bill, I'm actually okay with that.

    Heat and Rockets both needed change for championship in last a few seasons.

    Heat changed players, and have same group of coach, front office, owner because the same group won championships.

    Rockets changed players, coaches, owners. the only thing didn't change is the front office.

    The conclusion is obvious if Rockets want to win championship.

    I think the NBA wants to expose Daryl Morey more and more as a fraud by paying off Media Hosts. That Analytics never wins Championships in Sports.

    Daryl Morey did expose the NBA in sending a report to the NBA that younger referees do a better job than older referees, Layer the Results were the NBA were Angry and ignore the Rockets but only to target James Harden even more with not giving any whistle towards Harden and the Rockets, Literally the Rockets got injured way worse after the Report.

    The Offensive Goaltending is a wrong call at San Antonio. The Report was made by Daryl, NBA got mad and gave lesser calls towards Harden.

    The NBA is way more corrupt in Referees being ordered to rig games. If not they will be fired.

    This lakers team is 10x better than every cavalier team Lebron had. Lebron took literal scrubs to the nba finals every year. Kyrie and KLOVE were hurt EVERYYEAR except 2016
