    This Thunder team was literally the opposite of the underachieving Rockets team in 2016.

    Didn’t get along, totally excruciating to watch, maddeningly inconsistent, and yet there we were in April with people still apologizing for them and penciling them into the WCF. I’m really starting to believe that the media bases their opinions on highlight dunks and the ferocity of the screams after the highlight dunks.

    Waste money to build big 3. Anthony is old and miss a lot of shoots. If houston does not have a lot of good 3 point shooters, his power will tweak a lot. This is a good lesson learn whether it is worth to lose good players to get a big three.

    This season vs. Utah:

    Nov 5 - home - Rox win by 27
    Dec 7 - Utah - Rox win by 11
    Dec 18 - home - Rox win by 21
    Feb 26 - Utah - Rox win by 11

    I'm not sure why we have to let them win a game. Just to be nice?? o_O

    Some boats are built to sail in tough water but they end up sinking.

    Donovan Mitchell is a Superstar, he has Surpassed Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony.

    Anthony would've looked like a God playing on the Rockets.

    they are a bad matchup for us. doesn't matter how bad of a team they are.

    we would still win the series but it would be like a 6-7 game series. utah should be a 4-5 game series.

    its hard to beat a team as good as the jazz 8 times in a row in the same season. lets not all lose our minds if we lose 1 game.

    they have a great strategic coach, players who can shut down the paint, and a superstar who can score at will. if we have an off shooting game we may drop one in utah.

    It was, and always will be, about, Me-LO BALL. That will never change and he will never have that darned ring. He does have a nice chunk of kryptonite hanging on a chain though. So glad we stayed in a galaxy far, far away I am.
