[ClutchFans] Podcast: Opportunity lost, backs to the wall and the future of the Rockets

If the rockets have been having the problems they have, what opportunity is lost by losing this series? I definitely get that we are taking away time and meaningful minutes from rooks, but it seems like more people are upset we aren't 2-2 right now. This team is broken. the last thing we need is more fools gold to motivate management to continue to keep the band together. Rip the band aide off already.

 

I still think it was worth it to see this team get destroyed the way it has.

 

I would like to believe it builds character, although, I'm not super convinced that it will.

 

"I've got a fe-ver. And the only prescription........is more KJ."

 

Last game of the season!

 

Lose.lose situation if rockets come back from this three one whole... We still get no respect... Everyone will say Curry got hurt.... There you go Les even if we win the freaking championship it will be tainted. Everything is screwed thanks Les.

 

I agree it's only around 3 mil it will eat up and with beasley playing on a minimum deal we can just act like it's going to him and he's being paid 4 mil a year which would still be great value for what he brings as a spark plug offensive player off the bench.

Beasley is part of the future. He can be that 12 ppg in 15-18 min against bench players and that's huge. He got us back in the game in the first quarter by himslef last game. GS has nobody that can match up with him other yhan green and that takes green away from helping out on harden which as we saw got hsrden going at the end of the 1st also.

Just wish beasley was a little better on D and he could start for us.

 

This team isn't coming back against the Warriors even without Curry. This team makes too many unformed errors both defensively and offensively. The same bad transition defense, bad turnovers, horrible shot selection is too much to overcome against a team that executes as well as Golden State.

 

perhaps not, but it does expose the cracks in full light.

 

All our championships are tainted apparently. So I would still take it

 

Nice point, I guess I would too...

 

It's not completely absurd to think we can win this game 5 with Curry out and hopefully the Warriors out of rhythm due to Curry news. Then we return home and we have an even better shot with the home crowd.

If we take them to 7, I will be decently satisfied. Obviously a first round exit is never "satisfying," but against a team as good and deep as the Warriors, taking them to 7 is something you can build on. Winning more than one game is an improvement from last season (even if it's in the first round).

 

Even if we win the Finals, we should not be bringing everyone back, not even JBB.

You cannot expect consistent results from them

You got to think about the future

 

Currently, both Curry-less Warriors and the Rockets are a 40-45 games team, so I think the chances for winning a game is 50-50 for the Rockets.

Unfortunately, next game is in Oakland, that gives the edge to the Warriors. If the Rockets can somehow pull an upset, they should win the game 6th at home, then it's a dog fight for game 7.

 

The rockets this year is pathetic. Lack of effort, consistency, and just overall drive. One thing I'm happy about is the NFL draft is tomorrow and can't wait for the Texans.

 

Well that happened only in your head.
