    It’s correct. A blowout is defined as a victory greater than 20 points. Only one so far this year. Must suck to be this wrong.

    Some would gladly welcome Smith to the team... but not for a 1st round pick. Cleveland would probably give us a 1st round pick to take on his contract.

    If they did that, it would be worth considering.

    I would rather sign F'ing Josh Smith than JR Smith.

    Gonna randomly jump into this exchange since it was on top of the new page:

    Say no to the arbitrary 20+. The simplest way to define a blowout is when a game becomes so out of reach that the game is practically over even if there is still a tremendous amount of time left.

    vs Pellies: down by 29, down by 20 in 4th, lost by 19
    vs Jazz: down by 17, down by 17 in 4th, lost by 11
    Vs Clippers: down by 27, down 27 in 4th, lost by 20
    Vs Blazers: down by 28, down by 25 in 4th, lost by 19
    vs Thunder: down by 25, down by 25 in 4th, lost by 18

    5 of our 7 losses have been blowout losses.

    vs Bulls: up 17, up 17 in 4th, won by 8
    vs Pacers: up 24, up 21 in 4th, won by 12
    vs Nugs: up 15, up 15 in 4th, won by 10
    Vs dubs: up 32, up 32 in 4th, won by 21
    vs kings: up 26, up 26 in 4th, won by 20

    at least 3 of the 8 games the Rockets have won have been blowouts.

    One could also include a mini blowout that is greater than 13 or 15 pts.

    Yeah, there isn't one central definition of a blowout. Some say it's 15, other say it's 30. Why the hell would you parade an opinion around as a fact knowing full well there's no definite standard?

    And then you literally act like an ******* for no understandable reason. Did you think I was attacking you? Extremely odd buddy.

    Well the Jazz game we did cut to 5 before Harden pulled up with hamstring and we were already without CP3 and Ennis. Which leads me to my next point that 4 of those 5 blowout losses were without either CP3 or Harden, in addition to Ennis. Just providing a little context.

    I dont think “blowout” has a clear mathematical definition like that.

    Its a word that I dont think is defined by some mathematical threshold.

    Google definitions says something along the lines of “an easy victory in a sporting contest”

    But who cares about google and webster and that crap. Language is open to interpretation.

    As far as J.R. Smith, hell to the no.....unless we can get him with Knight and a second round pick and maybe some $$$, trading him to a third team as a contract that can be bought out next season for $3,800,000 (i.e., almost but not quite an expiring).

    Well, where, then? Don't be a tease. :p Let's get this show on the road.

    I hope it does.

    I think somebody is gone and somebody else is in by trade within next 2-3 weeks.
