    This Rocket team has: Patrick Beverley and Clint Capela.
    Warriors has: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green
    Cavaliers has: LeBron James, Kyrie Irving.

    All those players are developed in their own teams. I do not see how this team is in any way close to being a championship, basketball wise.The only way of future championship hope is to rebuilt. the sooner, the better.

    the similarities are through the roof! the proof is in the hot dog. rockets make a historic comeback and find their way back in the po's after being knocked out by the spurs, and beat the warriors in 7 after they beat the cavs.

    Three times, actually. Four if you count the Clippers pick they got in 2011. They even managed to blow one of those picks along the way.

    The similarity is that both the Rockets and the championship teams consist mostly of athletic urban players.

    Just more proof the Rockets need to go back to K&M. ;)

    Les doesn't want Morey to tank but we don't have to tank. We just need to trade Harden to shitty teams for multiple 1st round picks.

    Because starting with a shitty team and a bunch of high draft picks always works -- just look at all those titles the Kings and Sixers have won in the last decade.

    We just need to go retro and dress Hayward like a hotdog. The important thing here is the answer to this: Gordon Hayward, if you were a hotdog and you were starving, would you eat yourself? Is that all? No. If you had ketchup and mustard all over you, does that change your answer?

    Warriors have one championship in the last 3 years
    Rockets have nothing in 19 years

    Hard facts.
