    I'm telling y'all: in house we have the most balls-out draft product guard since Sam I Am.

    I beg to differ.
    It's a product of bad design that centers around retaining McHale as the head coach in the first place. If the playing style be iso-Harden as the main weapon, why should Melo and Bosh be really interested in the role of 2nd fiddle? In case of either, if Houston were the only team ready to make max offer, they might have come. But contenders are not dummies who never adjust. So, it's nothing to do with bad luck, but bad design.

    Iso Harden is not the main playing style the Rockets use. It is a definite minority. I don't remember the thread but someone put a percentage of the times the Rockets use Iso Harden and definitely was very low.

    If Iso is what you're worried about Melo was never the player for the Rockets to get.

    I may end up being very upset about the off season, or I may end up being filled with a glimmer of hope that whatever happens will be the kind of under-the-wire against all odds type of team that the Rockets have won with before.

    Either way, I'm going to wait until the off season is over before making a final judgment.

    So sign up for comcast already. Too many people wine about this, and not enough people switch. That's why AT&T won't pay to broadcast the games not enough winers are switching.

    Things at LG are getting funny. Lots of hate on Houston, ClutchFans, and the mods here by the LOFs there. Also, lots of racist Laker fans showing their faces. Should make for an entertaining mix this year.

    LOLOLOL. What a sad legion of fans that follow Lin.

    LOL, that is some funny stuff right there. Obnoxious, arrogant Lakers fans + idiotic, racist LOFs = a match made in heaven. Or that other place..

    They're perfect for each other. :)

    From the Lakersground site:

    So we have Lin only fans, Lin only haters and Lin only haters who likes to post as Lin only fans to make Lin only fans look bad.

    All of these people are coming just because the Lakers plan to rent Lin for a year?

    Just shoot me now.


    I am (holds up my index finger and thumb close together) this close of feeling sorry for Lakers fans but nah, I'm not. I think it is great they have to deal with that now. LOL

    Durant 2016 would be awesome and Morey can rebuild our supporting cast til then but it's just gonna suck to wait until then. I just wish we had done this in order to land Wiggins instead of trying to go into win now mode. These "quick" routes to a championship run haven't gotten us anywhere.

    We should have won one with Yao if only he hadn't gotten injured against Portland and LA. That was a killer team. meh..

    If the lakers want succeed they must let Lin control the offense. Lin should play the traditional 2 while at 1. He must handle ball at all times.



    Found this piece of gold over there....Good luck Lakers.

    And this thread calling out LinMVP is now on LG. Apparently, he is Sigmund from back in the day.
