    Our division has really gone to ****. Will this be the year that a sub .500 team wins the division and should that be us?

    We’re too good to tank and at full strength, it’s conceivable that we are a legit playoff team (not contender). Might as well go for the division title.

    Luka will end up better than all those players eventually

    Who are you assuming doesn’t make the playoffs in the west?

    LA
    LAC
    Denver
    Portland
    PHX
    Utah
    Warriors
    Mavs

    Are all much better than Houston and have a star to drag them to the playoffs. No way we make the playoffs unless injury happens.

    Warriors and portland are the two weakest, I think there's an outside chance at the rockets beating either of those in the play-in series.

    Only way for Rockets to win division is via defense.

    Rockets have to be top 5 defense to have a chance without a legit 1A player on roster.

    Wood could become that player but still his journey to attain that level will not be easy.

    Defense is his final hurdle.

    Im thinking the rockets find that Young Corner stone at the trade deadline to put next to C-Wood. I hoping it is Mpj or Herro.

    Denver or Miami both have the expiring's and young player we want. They both need what we have vets who can help them win now. Its really to logical to pass up.

    Maybe they are all wearing fat suits so they can force trades.

    lol. Blazers (who are currently 4th) and the Warriors will finish Top 6. They won't be in the play-in. Dallas and Denver on the other hand....

    I mean Harden is still wearing that fat suit in Brooklyn. It's probably because he's kinda fat.
