    You better cross every limb and knock on anything made of wood for the next month to counter-act the superstition gods for having written that thought down.

    Our team somehow keeps getting better!

    Sengun = Jokic with better D and conditioning
    Jabari = KD + KG hybrid
    Amen = TMac + Matrix with MJ mindset
    Reed = Curry + CP3 with a 40+ inch vert
    Green = Kobe with better fashion
    Cam = Lebron with a jump shot
    Tari = Crash Wallace with a hot mom
    Brooks = Ghetto Battier
    FVV = shorter Reed Sheppard
    Griffin = Ariza with better jump shot
    Adams = Bogut without being a c**t
    Boban = Haslem + Deke
    Dante = Sammy D with Clint bounce

    I’m hype. The lid is off letsss goooo.

    Every time i look back at NBA history's greatest players, i am amazed at how quickly they rose to the top. Sure, many of them back then stayed in college longer to develop, but many did not. Our guys are young, but none have made the strides that all time greats have made. Still, though, we could have ourselves a little early 2k Pistons type of team of really good players that on other teams with actual stars are all fringe all stars at best, but together form a championship team.

    I love the enthusiasm but let’s take it one step at a time and try and win our first playoff series with this young magnificent 7.

    I would like to see the team make the playoffs and win a series before I bring up their dynasty possibilities.​

    He might have gotten lucky or whatever, but as critical as I was during the dreadful Silas/KPJ/Nix years, I can't argue with the result of where we are now.

    As long as he doesn't do something stupid, like trading Alpi or Tari, I have to say he has grown on me.

    We have one of the top 3 young cores in the league.

    He will have fully won me over when Sengun gets his well-deserved max next season and when he will have sorted out what to do with Jalen and Brooks.

    I love this team. I love many of the players. I think we have a bright future. But predicting a championship is pure folly.

    This is an internet message board filled with Stans. Folly is the ceiling for any discussion and then we go downwards from there.

    Rockets projected to be better than only the spurs, lol. Rockets over is a good bet for sure.

    Orlando, bucks and Memphis catch my eye as unders but there are too many weak teams in the west.

    Adding Tari, Reed, and Adams definitely puts us over 45 wins...easily.

    +12500 odds to win the chip next year. Might be time to dust off the Bovada credentials.

    Safe to remark that the NBA championship will win one Rocket.
