Rockets have been a good team, they just haven't got to the next level in Finals. James is like Lillard, Isane player but really lacks something around him or there just better teams holding them back. Big teams in CA big markets have the best rosters, and Houston out of most of the smaller market teams Utah,Portland, Denver, Dallas, New Orleans, can get threw them with Harden. But have struggled of Late getting passed Warriors and Lakers. Which are the champions. James just not better than Curry and Lebron Teams. When Spurs had there big team, Rockets were not the best in Texas. James is Great but not good enough. But you know it was a good run, and maybe he better off somewhere else in the east, where maybe they could put the right pieces around James like in Miami or Philly.
If you've exprienced what it feels like to win a championship for your team there is nothing else like it. You saw the highs and lows, overcoming adversity in the playoffs and then your team finally winning a ring for your city. It vaults your favorite players into all time conversations, your city has a parade and people party and celebrate that night. Living the Rockets back to back championships were some of the best sports memories I've experienced. It helped motivate this site and fanbase decades later. It takes years to get to the contender level and we shouldn't take it for granted imo. I enjoy many parts of the game, but developing a team to win it all should always be the goal.
Oh you'll be like us when you've experienced your team going yard.. just you wait! I can't wait until you're like that!
When my dog plays tug-o-war with another dog I scream, "WIN! WIN!" until he's inspired enough to take that rope toy out of the other dog's mouth. Don't tell me winning is not important. It's life! I don't want to cheat to win, I don't want to cheer for terrible human beings that should be in jail for their acts, but short of that.. let's go get it!
Well guys now that Tillman is the owner those days are back! Start watching college ball because the NBA Draft is going to be the most exciting moment for Rockets fans. Then they'll turn into studs and move to L.A. to win a championship! Maybe even Miami! Thank you Tillman for ruining Houston Pro Basketball!
Scola! Landry! Brooks! Ps what's the reason not more players are using Battier's "hand in your face" defense? I can't see it.
This is the mindset tilman trying to sell to us soon. Sports has teamwork Brotherhood and whatnot. But athlete who said winning isn't everything is doing it to hide the pain of not winning it. No one wants a participation trophy, no one brags about it either.
Let's keep Harden after January Laker matches. If Houston can beat Lakers, we can keep Harden. If Houston cannot beat Lakers, we can trade him to see whether we can get back 2 all stars players into the team
