    Who's betting on Westbrook having his first good and efficient game in seemingly a decade this game?

    Was there every any further news as to why House was out for so long?

    Y'all wanna play the long game?

    Let Westbrook go the hell off. Let him ride high on confidence for a game. Let everyone declare him "back" with like a 75 point game or some **** he'll think he's Jesus and go run right off a cliff for another 2 months straight lol...

    On paper yes it looks like a playoff team.. However one thing I think people are forgetting is how young and inexperienced Wood is. I mean let's face it, before his 20 game burst with Detroit last year nobody really knew this guy or wanted him.

    We'll see if he can keep progressing but you're banking a lot on Wood.

    It would be hysterical if we just intentionally didn't guard Westbrook and disrespected him the entire game.

    Wood has been extremely consistent over the past 30 games or so, if you include his last 15 games in Detroit. That's impressive considering he's played with many different lineups and teammates. I don't expect the rest of the regular season to give him much trouble assuming he's healthy. 30 games isn't a huge sample but it's not tiny either. It's the playoffs where he's completely untested and could drop off.

    No way would I have said this about Harden if he requested a trade in the offseason or left when his contract was up, but going back to your Einstein quote.

    "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

    Harden never even tried to do it. He walked away before seeing at least one result. He did not play a single season with this squad. And like I said, its fine. I've been watching Nets games because I still root for Harden.

    As I've mentioned in other threads, I've been anti TF since day one. Just check the latest photoshop thread. But I honestly felt different when Harden did all of this. Something just doesn't sit right. I think in time we will know what really happened. I do believe TF will turn this team around when its time. Morey actually really quit, as in resigned. If anything Insanity would be to keep allowing Morey to run his small ball only 3 point shot teams and expecting a different result.

    The now Rockets aren't winning it all, but it is refreshing to see this type of basketball. Because we know there is no Morey dictating what shots to take or MDA doubling down on Morey's master plan. There is an excited young coach filled with energy and hope, there are players dreaming to become stars. There is basketball to be played, not a burden to be good enough for Harden and disciplined enough for the coach's and GM's style.

    Anyone watch the recent Rockets interviews? All Rachel Nichols asks anyone is something about Kobe.
    I got it on the 1 year anniversary but i think it's weird to keep asking the same repetetive questions about him.
