    Thanks for saving me the trouble of having to post a retort to MDA's latest stupid statement. :)

    I think this is the sort of thing you say right after the season ends, particularly if you came up short in the Finals, not now.

    Hold on to what we have this season. We may not see it for another 20 years.

    Do you agree with Doc Rivers?

    Doc Rivers said a couple of days ago, he is very proud of Clippers achievement this season.

    Maybe he thought there was a lull in the conversation that he had to fill. Bad habit.

    Who cares what he says - you think he wont go all out to try an win a ring? Just trying to take the pressure of on his team - You need to listen to Harden and CP3 - They say this season hasn't been a success until a trophy is won. That's all that matters to me at the end of the day

    Yeah the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a copout, an excuse and my doubt about MDA has just been triggered again. I wish I could have faith in him, but if there's one thing I do not trust yet, it's his ability to adjust come play-off time.

    I read that mda at 67 would be the oldest coach to win it all.

    You bet it'd be a damn disappointment to him.

    The way the players carry themselves, they all feel the moment too.

    Win it for the old man.

    Championship or bust. If he can't win it all with this squad, then someone is getting canned. We have a small window for a ring and Morey is not stupid enough to waste time. This is the hungriest Rockets team I have seen in years.

    I’m ok with the Rockets falling short of the title this year.

    This season was about closing the gap on the Warriors and catching the eye of top free agents
    coming out this summer.

    Check both boxes. The loss of Luc MaM changes my probability chances from 68% to about 54%.

    Luc was a weapon I needed to combat Durant. Gerald Green is awesome but I saw Melo post him up like
    he was nothing and then dunked it. Luc is far more balanced offensively/defensively.

    Raptors lost tonight. So we’re the only 60+ win team this season. Pretty cherishable I would say.
