[ESPN Insider] Can Houston win it all this season?

what is wrong with that? coaches are old maybe they forgot that centers are no longer have a position at the all star game. I could see asik as an all star center back up, it that was still around.

 

Why is that funny? There aren't very many quality centers in the league to begin with and Asik was a double-double machine last season. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that the position was so weak, Ben Wallace was the perennial All-Star starter at center in the Eastern Conference.

 

Coach A might've coached Lewis before, he worded this quite peculiarly.

 

I just wanted to see where my rep was at.

Can't we go back to previous posts?

 

it's cool over here. I appreciate getting this as I would NEVER give ESPN extra jack.

 

I think our "defense' will be ok.Last year was partially affected by our style of play.

 

Asik on the verge of becoming an all-star? I figured his value was high but not this high.


Let's get a star for him :grin:

 

I think we found the team to trade him to.

Rep me ; p

 

No opposing coach who is still in the league is going to give us the props we deserve. We have to take it from them.

This "Dwight is mentally weak story" is just a myth perpetuated by the media. He took a team to the FINALS, guys. He beat Lebron during one of those 60+ win Cav seasons. He's been there, and now he's gonna have more help than he's ever had.

I want the hate. I want people to write us off. The more that happens the more ammo we'll have to post up on lockerroom walls. Feed off of it guys! Because all of this commentary is what it is. Trash. We are talented enough to win it all this year. We just need to f-in show up.

 

I agree he has a hard time when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. All of last season I kept saying Lin and Harden would mesh better together if Lin controlled the offense a little more. Harden is a better scorer overall and I always felt they should run more back door screens for him to get open. It opens up a lot more lanes when the D is shifting around like that.

Lin is a good decision maker. This type of play structure wouldn't even take away from Harden's APG either. If the D collapses when he finds the open lane he just makes the right pass if needed. Overall it makes the game much easier for both players.

 

Its too early to ask that question , so No, need to build chemistry.

 

Did the Heat win it all when they got there big three. Did we when it all when we got Pippen to go along with Dream and Barkley. Did the Celtics win it all when they got Allen and Garnett.

It takes time.

 

Yes. Yes they did.

And Kobe/Gasol had a whole 2mo together before they upped and decided to go to the Finals. And what did Kobe say that year in the playoffs?

"It seems like we've been playing together for years instead of months," Bryant says. "It's amazing how that's worked. Since the first time he stepped on the floor, we automatically had a great relationship and understanding of where we like to operate on the floor. It's been unbelievable."

People wrote us off last year, didnt expect us to be fighting for 6th seed, didnt expect us to win 45 games...possibly 50 because of some really close games. We did all this without DH in the lineup.

 

Rick Adelman was probably one too.

 

lol fake coaches..Jeremy Lin not a great player? i guess he didnt see JLIn dropping 38 points and 7 assist on the Spurs..The only problem with JLin last season was because of the coach and JLin wasnt comfortable at the start of the season.. http://youtu.be/ts34fXuXzKc

 

There is not a single metric you can use to justify calling Lin a great player. Using one game as evidence is just laughable.
