    The Warriors have missed the playoffs in back to back years. That's embarrassing for a team with such a rich recent history of winning. They didn't blow their team up.

    If the Warriors want to win another title they're going to have to part with Wiseman and that Minnesota pick.

    For what it's worth, the Rockets starters from the last couple of seasons are undefeated thus far. The Nets (Harden), Suns (Paul), Bucks (Tucker), Hawks (Capela) and Blazers (RoCo) all won their first games.

    I'd love a Suns and Nets Finals. We can just spend the entire series squinting and pretending like Harden and Paul are still wearing Rockets jerseys...

    Whoever doesn't root for Ryan Bowen is not a true Rockets fan. There I said it.

    this thread is triggering

    seeing all these teams battling in the playoffs in front of loud crowds while we’re here waiting for lottery night...

    I would always go to the 1st home game of every series at the very least, but here I am watching Cade highlights hoping and praying we don’t get screwed on draft night

    Nope, just determining the coin flips. Draft Lottery is June 22.

    If they ain't Rockets, I'm cheering for their failure.

    I remember always anxiously waiting for the release of the Rockets playoff schedule, hoping the home games would be at preferable days/times. Good times. How many more years til that happens again :eek:

    straight from TF mouth,

    "we're gonna limit the bad years to 1 or 2"

    or

    "We're not going to go do something stupid to try to get into the playoffs next year that then will prevent us from competing for a championship in a couple years."

    Funny you should say that after a good portion of ClutchFans members just spent years sh!tting all over the future Hall of Famer who consistently had us in the discussion for best team and a contender most years.

    CP3 knocking out a Harden led Nets team would almost make all of the pain worth it, almost.
