    I hate the Miami Heat so much (LeBron going there and talking Bosh out of going to Houston, Pat Riley, their style of basketball, etc) but I am man enough to admit that the biggest reason I hate them is sour grapes on my part. They win like 44 or 45 games and have to play in the play-in and now they look like the Bill Russell Celtics. They have been extremely lucky with some stuff but you have to admit that their coaching, culture, and intangibles are off the charts now.

    Duncan Robinson and Max Strus didn’t even begin their college careers in Division I and of course they went undrafted and look at them now. No way that would ever happen with the Rockets.

    At least the Nuggets are doing what they need to do in pummeling the Lakers. So help me if the Heat beat the Nuggets….

    I hope Spo dont put in Haslem. You go in to a game like this and you reach Mascot territory like Boban.

    I would have more self-respect than that.

    Respect to Spo for not putting Haslem in the game.

    The Heats and Nuggets are playing beautiful basketball now. People are enjoy to watch.

    I wish Rockets fans don't need to watch Harden shiit show in future.

    They beat the 1st seed in - gentleman’s sweep, the Knicks in 6, now May do this as a sweep to the 3rd seed

    they’re playing winning basketball not formulaic bs despite being the biggest talent disadvantage I’ve ever seen

    Nobody deserves that loser's juju around them. Here is the real question, which would win? Butler's unstoppable will or Silas' unmovable awfulness?

    2 teams in the NCAA final four as well, including Boca's FAU for the first time ever.
    When I moved to Houston... boom... Rockets won back-to-back championships.

    The Celtics may have to fire Joe right after giving him a contract. There is no way he can stay as coach.

    The Heat 1st half offense was some of the most precise, active, confident basketball I've ever seen.
