    It was one of 3 within the last couple of weeks: Lowe Post, Bill Simmons, or Buffet with Chad & Scooch. My gut says Lowe, because he asked the toughest questions, but I'm not 100% certain. Does anyone else remember?

    Who tf cares what this guy thinks.

    I'd rather wait and see what our two future HOF players do in the playoffs together... than listen to someone talk about what we have or haven't achieved with past teams that didn't include that dynamic duo.

    fwiw: For the record, Morey corrected the interviewer by saying, "You mean Overtime of Game 5." Morey, like most here after the game, remembers that the odd Harden started in OT, whereas Game 5 was otherwise a very evenly matched, hard-fought game.

    People in Houston listen to assholes like this and decide to not show up at the TC. I want the arena loud on Saturday and I want this to be a new thing. I want a 1st seed like crowd. Be loud like OKC, Oakland, Chicago in the 90s, knicks at msg in November. I know most of the OG houstonians left the town and many new comers are other teams fans but join the bandwagon to these new houstonians. Those people will fill up the TC. And mr. Tilman please cancel corporations from getting the lower bowl seats that’s an easy problem to the issue. Sell them to ticket resellers who post seats on seat geek or stubhub. We need butts in the seats and rowdy people.

    Right. And that made me wonder whether Morey, in noting the distinction, was signaling that he favors the head-injury theory.

    Hey Will,

    Thank you very much for replying to my question.

    I found the podcast and it was the Loew Post, which was also posted to youtube, making it easier to listen to.

    Zach doesn't hold back any bars.
    The first question of the interview that Zach asked Daryl was when he knew that had a chance at Chris Paul, which Daryl danced around. I am guessing that Daryl doesn't want the Rockets to get hit with tampering charges.

    I will paraphrase with my own words, but the second question Zach metaphorically asked Daryl was, "what the hell happened to Harden in the playoffs?"

    Based on the way Zach asked Daryl, (again, I am reading between the lines), but Zach did not, nor does he believe Harden was tired.

    Here is a link to that podcast:

    Pretty common knowledge that Harden was out at a strip club the night before game 6, hopefully CP3 has helped him understand how important winning is and getting your rest....I see a much more mature Harden this year...

    is he wrong? why some of yall hating on the guy and asking who the heck is he? Does it matter? What have the rockets done in the playoff so far since Harden joined the team?

    I'm 99% sure it's in the most recent Lowe podcast.

    Lowe says: "So do we know anything at this point about San Antonio game 6?"
    Morey: "Harden played well in game 5, not sure what people are talking about there. Only James Harden knows or can answer about game 6."

    [paraphrased]

    And that's all they really say about it.

    I thought Wright was going to jump him for a second. Then he wisely calmed down and tried to diffuse sitch with the limp handshake at the end.

    Wright has got to be a CFer. :D

    It’s cuz Kawhi got hurt. That changed the complexity of it. Made it look like we lost to a lesser team

    yeah but truth is spurs won almost all games Kawhi missed last year. same with this year they we're 3rd seed even without kawhi and with an old parker.

    we basically lost in 6 games (4-2) last year to a 2nd seed, 61 win, 3-1 reg season against us Pops coached Spurs team with or without Kawhi

    Was James the ONLY Rocket to play game 6? There were several other multi millionaires (wearing Rox gear) that played like crap last year in that game. What was their excuse? Additionally , the Spurs had the better coach and the better team so they won the series. Warriors had the best team in the NBA hence they won the title.
