    Exactly. I said "F5 (or similar) *this* crap" and went to workout. I come back to excellent news and wouldn't have it any other way.

    Moderate expectations though, fellas. Long long way to go with many things needed to break right (to get to the Finals).

    Yes you do, depending on what we might give up, because it could give us cap space to go after another star like Josh Smith.

    What a MOMENTOUS event in this great franchise of ours!

    Daryl Morey had a plan all along and it worked. Initially, I was a doubter but for the past two years, I learned not to question the man.

    Well done, Mr. Morey! Well done!

    Congrats everybody, we will finally be a serious title contender for years to come!

    The public figures have to say that it's not done yet. But Dwight's boys have leaked the info

    Congrats to D12 for picking the right team.

    He is a perfect fit for Harden, and they can contend for many years.

    Stephen A.

    Gonna definitely challenge for a world championship.

    He'll have to show up better at the FT line and expect his game to improve with McHale and Dream. That, playing with Harden and Parsons, they're still a bit raw but ultra talented. Got the best big man in the game. They'll be a contender. Not sure better than OKC. Not sure better than SA. The Warriors picking up Iguodala is nothing to sneeze at. Bogut has to show up. Bottom line, the Rockets are in the fold. Howard views that potential tandem as a second showing of Shaq and Kobe to a degree.
