    If the rockets were draft eligible tomorrow, where would they fall? Green, Sengun top 5. Bari, KMJ top 20. The others would be late first, 2nd rounders or undrafted. The rockets would win, but if they come out cold Sampson could keep it close with his draftable talent...Jarace, Sasser and Mark.

    I think you don't understand how bad your take is because you don't understand that your take like removes basic capitalist incentives. Like the core basics of human self interest and capitalist desires are thrown out the window for your take to be anywhere within the realm of reality.

    i know you don't understand you're one of the worst posters that thinks they're correct all the time. talking too much doesn't make you right. spamming all day long doesn't make you right

    Do you think you are correct?

    You are also showing lack of basic self-awareness now also

    I know i am especially coming from you. more times than not i definitely don't want to be on the same side of a topic. that's already been proven a long time ago

    So now you've moved on from your original premise. I don't know how you trying to say I post a lot makes your argument stronger? Unless you've moved on from that argument and this is your way of acknowledging that your initial take was stupid.

    So a lack of self-awareness it is. Most people here think they are correct when they express their argument.

    So I'm assuming you've changed your mind on your original premise? People express acknowledgement of being wrong in different ways. Your way is to insult them. That's fair. It's a very common thing on the internet these days.

    Okay we are debating whether the Cougs can beat the Rockets. Just a reminder of what the original Convo was

    The Rockets as bad as they are, have several players who would be superstars on a college team. Many others on the roster would have been starters on good college teams. When you have this kind of talent, you would be a top seed in March Madness. So in terms of talent, the Rockets beat the Cougars hands down.

    BUT, as many has pointed out, the Cougars are well-coached and well-motivated, playing as a team. The Rockets are dysfunctional playing with little cohesion. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cougars beat the Rockets in a single game. Anything can happen in a single game. But if it is a seven-game series, I'd give the nod to the Rockets. Talent wins in the long run.

    I think the overall takeaway is that we have now reached the point of Tilman where reality and fiction are blurred.

    He’s a nephew of Jason Sasser, he played at Texas Tech and got a cup of coffee in the league circa late 90’s

    Marcus is projected to go late first/early second and should be a nice backup guard in the league. He’s got a good handle, has a lethal step back and is clutch as hell. If he were taller he’d be a lottery pick…plus he’s a fantastic on ball defender :cool:
