Everytime I feel bad about the Rockets losing a game here or there to crappy teams.. I go back and look at these teams and it don't look so bad anymore. Who is most pathetic so far? Seattle @ 9-34 sounding like a tank job for another lottery pick.. the what's sadder is that they are 9-34 and still not in last place in their own division. I bet Ray Allen is smiling like a little byatch right now to get out of that mess. Minnesota @ 7-35 was this the most lopsided trade in history so far? I like Al Jefferson's game, and they have a lot of talent but they should be better than 7-35. Hopefully it's gonna work out in the long run for them with the 1st round picks from Boston. Gomes and McCants look promising though. Memphis @ 12-31 they are a shell of their former team. Even though Gasol is back and they have players stepping up like Gay, Navarro, and Mike Conley they are still 12-31. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since we know what it's like in our own division. Miami @ 8-33 everyone on that team seams to be breaking down.. old age and injuries aside. 8-33? You kidding me? Wade back and Shaq back (to ir) I wonder how much longer Riley is going to be able to take it. or is this a tank job? is there a consensus #1 this year? They look like us a couple years ago so I probably would give them a pass. Thoughts?
Seattle isn't a tank job; I really think they're that bad. They run a ton of plays for KD, but he's not experienced enough to make the most of them. Minnesota beat Phoenix twice. That automatically makes them not the most pathetic. And they needed to rebuild; they couldn't go anywhere with KG. So they got a great center to build around and can start moving forward. Memphis... I've always thought Gasol was overrated. That said, they actually have players stepping up. But Miami? 15 game losing streak? Are you kidding me? They won the whole freaking thing 2 years ago. Everyone on their team (but D-Wade) is a joke! Most pathetic EVER.
Miami is in the east, have the best player among all the teams listed, and have 4/5 players from the starting line-up that won(more like given) the title. They just plain suck. Injuries might have a little to do with it, but when you're a Rockets fan you don't care who else gets injured cause Rockets have seen more than their fair share of them.
I agree that Minnesota should have more wins because they have a lot of talent, the problem is all of there players are young. No one expected them to be winning after the garnet trade. Miami I thought might actually have a good season. But, Shaq keeps getting injured. Seattle is just like Minnesota no one expected them to be good after they lost lewis and Allen. Memphis is never good anymore. But they have a lot of talent in Gay, Gasol, Miller and Juan Carlos. They should be better too.
Bingo. Miami will have to get lucky to get out of this hole they're in. They're stuck w/ Shaq's monster contract. I don't think they regret that championship they won though.
Im going to bump this so people post in this thread instead of the other THREE threads with the same thing.
I love D Wade and still think when healthy that he is possibly the best the league has to offer, but he isn't 100% and his teammates suck ass.......
Well in the other 3 threads he started, he doesn't have any choices for you to pick (unless he implies that himself is one of those options ). But yea it has to be Miami - to see them be this bad while they have a superstar player in Wade is like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. It is unbelievable and even though you know you should look away, you can't.
