    K cool, Clippers are still better than them. That hot shooting you saw wont be there. That plus minus when faced with an actual top 5 defense is gonna go way down. Clippers in 5.

    Also what is this dude? What does this serve? Like Im genuinely asking....like all this does is rub salt in the wound? Like....who do you think would find this amusing? All this does is piss people off when they just sent our ass home? This is just straight up trolling your own fanbase.

    It's a sequence of Austin hitting Lebron's head with the ball by chance.

    And LBJ trying to get mad and walking it off funnily while Kuzma is laughing his ass off.

    Just because you do not find it funny, others haven't lost their sense of humor.

    It has nothing to do with the result of the game or the rivalry between those 2 franchises . The game was far out of reach at that point.

    No animals or humans were harmed during that sequence either. If PETA was watching.

    I wouldn't invite you to parties, you're probably the serious grim tough guy.

    The most frustrating thing this season is that we had the perfect roster last season to win a championship this year without the Warriors and injuries to Chris Paul. Morey then traded Paul for Westbrook then Capella for Covington. We basically were a season away from a championship then Morey took us 3 steps/players back. Trading Paul for Westbrick was the most irrational and stupid thing Morey has done since he was the Rockets GM.

    Yeah but Morey ain't a clairvoyant.... he can't see into the future.

    CP3 was playing bad bball for his standard last season, Morey couldn't know he was going to return to superstardom again this year.... I mean we didn't know there was going to be Playoffs after Corona.

    Melo and McHale rightfully so.

    Westbrook absolutely rightfully so.

    Anyone who blamed Paul was an idiot.

    CC was traded because Westbrook sucks.

    MDA sounds like a two part Tillman not wanting to pay and MDA saying **** dealing with Westbrook,

    Stupid tweets are stupid.

    If you think 35 year old Tucker is part of a perfect roster I can't help you.

    He is going to be 36 and going against 6'10 brutes.

    The age imbalance is absurd.

    His perfect corner 3s can't save the team.

    Any new coach will have to deal with minute restrictions, this team will have injury problems, this season had only 72 games.

    yup and then the rockets could have used the assets attached to cp3 to trade for RoCo or another wing. and correction, it wasn't Morey. You can thank the dumb owner Tilman


    what a real contender lineup looks like w/ the versatility to play small

    cp3
    harden
    RoCo
    PJ
    Capela

    Instead, the rockets got the opposite of a contender in the 19-20 season

    Rockets had the combination of Capella and Tucker then. They both have different strengths and weaknesses to go against different kinds of centers or power forwards. Warriors were the only real problem then considering they were arguably the best team in NBA history. Keep in mind the Rockets were one hamstring away from beating the best team in NBA history.

    I'll keep your last point in mind.

    Yes, but I won't be hung up on it either.

    OKC this year could say, we were one 3 pointer away from beating the mighty Houston Rockets who had the best Offense in years.

    Can you buy a superstar with this line?
