    With Kavin Martin we would have been a lottery pick.

    I literally laughed out loud when I read OP's comment.
    If we had Martin we would not have had Harden. There would be no one to double on the Rockets so Martin would not have been wide open. Martin scores on open shots that KD supplied to him.

    Touche! Well done.

    I also figured out some stuff. With LeBron playing point guard and Kevin Durant in the hospital, we probably would have won the game.

    I also thought that if the Thunder sucked and the Rockets were ten times better, the Rockets probably would have won.

    Not sure, but I bet if Durant was only one foot tall, we would have gained an edge on them.

    OP, do you think we would have won with Hakeem and Michael Jordan starting? What's your advice?

    I hate to say, but have to admit, with Harden as our franchise player, we have no way to get out of the first round. Our game is so predictable. Although we have very good shooters: Garcia, Delfino, CParsons, Brooks.. With the way Harden played in Defense and Offense, we will be a first-round team for long time.

    Say what? Martin will not even be in the Thunder's roster next season unless he takes a pay cut. The Thunder will have a tough time with the Grizz D next series.

    I hate to say it but... with Kevin Martin as our SG we're not in the playoffs so we wouldn't even have a chance to win that ballgame.

    Hooray for the return of JCDenton's "statistical analysis"!

    I need a good laugh after being eliminated from the playoffs.

    I hate break OP's heart, but with Kevin Martin swapped with Harden for the whole season, we arent in the playoffs. Kevin Robin will never be able to lead a team. In fact he was open so frequently because Kevin Batman was being doubled, tripled, quadrupled everytime he touched the ball.

    LOL. So how did the Rockets do when Martin actually WAS our "star" (i.e. the past few years). Here's a hint: lottery

    I suppose I'm a relatively new Rockets fan since I became one because of Parsons...

    ... but did Lin bring all the trolls to this forum?

    Way to hold up your end of the bet.
    What happened to leaving the forum and never coming back?

    Ok I am probably one of Harden's biggest hater, but this is bull****. Martin was obviously on fire, and was getting loads of bs calls in his favor. Harden is still a star player. Martin got great looks that entire game because of the amount of attention we were giving Durant. What about last game? Martin was 1-10 that game whereas as Harden had 31 on a great FG%.

    What? JCDenton, how could you make a thread like this without including one of your patented charts?
