I think GSW are being overrated IMO they lost Jack and Landry who were nice players off the bench the starters are legit though so I guess It evens out lol
Why do I get a picture in my head of Kobe hopping around on one leg ala Monty Python. "It's only a flesh wound!"
I don't see why the clippers are so talked about. Where has paul led a team? Exactly. Blake griffin as your 2nd best when he's constantly getting punked is the recipe for failure. I think the rockets have a legit chance as the best in the west. The have 2 players that really no one can shut down collectively. That's enough to put them at the top in the west.
I said it before, wouldn't be surprised if we were 1st in the west or 6th in the west as with any other top 6 team.
A torn Achilles, as much as i respect Kobe's ability to score, he's not going to be the same Kobe. I think Nash/Gasol is far from being All-Star level too. We'll see. Lakers might not be that bad but definitely not that much better either.
It's not like other teams will see how highly we are ranked, and give up the game. Need to prove we are legit. Every team in the league is going all out to expose the Rockets.
We're not that special bro. Teams will give the same effort level against us as they always do, except OKC who are pissed about Westbrook and playing against Harden, and LA because sour grapes about Howard.
Hog wash. The Spurs suck and are on a decline. If that were not the case, they would have won a 'ship last season. They are are still traumatized over that loss as pop said he has thought about it EVERY single day since. TD is old (so is manu). He missed a pt blank layup in the playoffs....pt blank bro. When the only way TD makes the 82 gm season is by being DNP due to "old," you're on the decline hard.
If I lived in Vegas, I'd put money on Clippers 57 Under - Overrated by the media OKC 50.5 Over - They're talented enough even if Westbrook misses 1/4 of the season GSW 49.5 Under - I think people underestimate Jack's play last year. He's not nearly as good as Iggy, but last year he was incredible. Plus injury issues. Plus overachieved based on point differential Grizzlies 49 Over - Why shouldn't they win 50+ games? Sixers 16.5 Under - I believe in Presti's tanking ability and further moves to tank harder I think there are probably some good bets with the middling/low-tier teams. But don't know them enough to get a good gauge on things.
If making it into the finals is "sucking", then I'll take it. Morey said the exact same thing in an interview. Everyone here would be ecstatic if the Rockets beat out the West and made it into the finals on the first season with Howard and Harden together.
