    He's on a contract year and he's a humble guy, I doubt he'd be toxic.

    To many people have homer glasses on it’s crazy. Even with James “bought in” and silas not coaching with a blindfold this team wasn’t going to place as a high seed.

    Teams leave him open because he's not a good shooter man. Of course he can get those looks either way.

    Is this a euphemism for strip clubs. Youre not an all star in Houston unless you frequent the strip clubs lol

    They won 4 of the last 5 including LAL and LAC, who whooped our ass with your hero in the lineup.

    Curry was Elite and they had what 3 all stars. This isn’t that. Just a dumb comparison.

    9 games is a decent sample size. After 1/8 of the season, he's at 23ish/10ish. Those are All-star #s if he continues.

    Who would have thought that the Harden only fans would hate all the positivity in the group after a big win when Harden is gone and we are missing three big scorers. I would not have predicted this lol

    Yeah let’s talk about Wall. This team is worse with him. If you want to talk about the playoffs you better hope he misses a ton of games. Much like Westbrook he hurts your team more than helps. I will glad when he is dealt.

    This was a proud moment to be a Rockets fan.

    First game after Harden's departure, these guys came in and said we're still here and you still need to beat us.

    Stone found a lot of talent for us, future looks bright with him at the helm. Silas was fired up, and that's what I've been missing all along too.

    I want to see Silas-Stone stay here 10-15 years and see what they can do. They're taking ownership and it looks good on them.

    Yeah sure- that must be why they went in!

    I don't know what the Rockets record is over the last 8 years in games where they shoot over 40% from 3, but it's probably something like 29-1. Take that Daryl!

    Midrange morons vindicated.

    Hows Currys defense? Hows Goberts offense?

    You dont need both sides of the ball to be an all star level talent.

    I think he means that the Warriors went from playoff fodder to championship squad just like that.

    It's true though, no one predicted the Warriors becoming the team they became. They got that way with great coaching and uh oh...I'll say it, culture.

    Wood is not Curry to be sure but people really underestimate a team culture and system and good coaching.

    "Hero" lol okay man. LOL they already lost twice in a row to LA. They lost to Minnesota and they lost to NO. It's a long season. And so far their trends are not that of a good team and that is gonna show. Woods is also not gonna go 5/7 for every night lol. Im just being realistic sorry.

    It’s surprising to me how well Brown’s game scales.

    The opposite is true of House.
