    I know it's just on paper BUT I don't think the Rockets are far off from the best!! As a matter of fact I think we're there.......WHO'S BETTER?

    Rockets Roster vs Lakers Roster

    Harden - LeBron
    Wall - Schroeder
    Wood - AD
    Cousins - Gasol
    Tucker - Morris
    EG - Matthews
    House - Kuzma
    Green - KCP
    McClemore - Caruso
    Nwaba/Bruno - Harrell
    Brown - Talen Horton-Tucker

    *Plus Rockets have (2) #1 Draft Picks to make a move this yr.

    Ehm, Harden does not want to play for the Rockets.
    Boggy Couscous just came back from several severe injuries.
    John Wall has not played for 2 years.

    Harden won’t be in the equation so you might want to wait to see what we get in return for him is to do a legit comparison. Having said that it’ll be have to be another top 5 player to even be able to balance out his loss. This comparison with Harden is already is tilted towards the lakers with a lesser player then Harden it will tilt even heavier towards the Lakers

    I don’t expect Wall and Cousins to be the same players they were. I hope they are, but I expect them to be something less. We will have to wait and see. But, they both had severe injuries.

    If Harden goes anywhere outside of NJ, it will be the exact same thing as here or probably worse. With the Rockets, everything is predicated on Wall and Cousins health....Nothing is for sure!

    All that matters is Harden thinks the lineup at drais, spearmint rhino and magic city are better than polecatz at the moment.

    And it's not close.

    What? I’m talking about the Rockets V the Lakers. I’m not about where Harden lands season perspective . I’m just going by you’re lakers comparison.

    ummm ... going down the list; Rockets don't win one of those matchups until Tucker and depending on which Gordon shows up that might be the only one they win.

    If everyone is healthy it'd be the best team Harden every played with.

    Rockets are not better than Suns if Harden was traded for Simmons.

    Paul and Booker vs Simmons and Wall

    Ayton vs Wood

    We said the same thing going Into the playoffs.. everyone wanted to play lebron / lakers cuz we were gonna force them to match up. Lmao

    they matched up and outmatched us by 4-5 folds..


    Rockets aren’t as good as we think they are. Not with the small ball crap and iso heavy offense. Na.
