Agreed for most of the part. But to knit pick, Bulter is not locked for HOF. He only has 3 all nba third team nominations. This doesn't guarantee...
We had much more success over Philly in the past 8 years because we had such a head start in having Harden. Philly started from scratch. But they...
I used these teams as examples to support my argument about winning culture is overrated. Lakers were at the bottom of the league for 6 years, and...
I think the key difference between us is our expectation of the team to make the playoffs. My argument is largely based on my prediction that this...
Well, there are plenty of examples that a team is bad for a long period of time and when they get good players, they starts to win. Lakers,...
You were talking about getting the best player at 14th pick, so my 0% chance refer to that. No Bam and MPJ are not the best player in their...
No, it has nothing to do with refusing to tank. Part of it is luck, as is always the case when you get player of Harden's caliber, either through...
Dallas absolutely tanked that year, Cuban was even fined for publicly advocating their strategy of tanking. And if you actually watched their game...
I am certainly aware of that too. I think every Rockets fan was looking for a Kawhi draft that year and was thrilled he was available at our turn....
I think Morey was about to start full tank model the year we got Harden. That Lin and Asik signing obviously were aiming for tanking. We just got...
I had exactly the same thought prior to Harden's trade, now I feel quite the opposite. The fact that OKC has the right to swap our pick is exactly...
Stone can do him a favor by sending him some help. Tim Hardaway Jr. + two unprotected FRPs, Oladipo is yours.
Randle is having a breakthrough year, averaging 23.2 + 10.5 + 6.7 per game with decent efficiency. Love to see those bad teams win games, which...
Wow, the highlight of Harden's 40 points triple double + game winner against Warriors only has less than 500K views...This shows that Houston...
I am a big Harden supporter, and there is no doubt MJ is the best scorer in the history of the NBA. Nobody else is even close, especially in the...
Smart load management for tanking, that's my guess. Rest key players against bad teams and play them against good teams. So you lose naturally...
And the Spurs's commentator (Elliot?) in tonight's game said Harden has a big three in Houston with Wall and Boogie. I remember him being very...
Remember when we were short-handed the first 3 games, Harden averaged 37 + 12, on like 55% + 45% shooting...Management knew he would be gone soon,...
I think the competence of FO is way more important than "wining mentality". We definitely don't tank by asking the Coaching stuff and players to...
Me too. PJ is probably gone soon. Enjoyed those guys' years with the Rockets (with the exception of WB of course).
