Good? Really good? I dunno. Do we really need a thread like this—I'm not sure the point of it. We know they're a top 3-4 team in the league and one of the two best in the West, but it doesn't really...

And he can't even score in the paint. Watching him try to score in the post last night was depressing. When you can't even score on Frank Kaminsky in the post, you have a problem.

If that's the best deal they can get, I'm happy to have picks. Scott doesn't really do anything for me. But I've got to think Stone is holding out for a 1st rounder, even if it's late or protected....

I still think the talent on this team equates to a legit playoff squad. But they've had no time together as a core between the injuries, COVID and the Harden drama/trade. If Wall were playing and...

In my defense, it wasn't just the terrible play. It was the terrible play combined with the news that Wall would miss more time and Wood turning his ankle. Wood was fine, thank god. But if Wall...

If the Rockets can get anything of value for Eric Gordon, I'd trade him in a heartbeat. I would literally trade him for cap space and a half-eaten ham sandwich. Hell, it doesn't even have to be a...

Wall is set to miss at least six consecutive games. He's only played in seven freaking games total so far. To make matters worse, Christian Wood rolled his ankle horribly in the first half. Harden's...

Remember all that stuff I said a few pages ago about trying to go for it with this Rockets team? After watching this first half, I think I've done a 180. Also, I low key think they may actively be...

Yes, but I think continuity has to be a huge piece of it as well. Kerr was in his first season as coach when they won their first title, but that core of Curry, Klay, Draymond, Iggy and Barnes had...

How does anyone? It's just my take on how likely I think each team will make the Finals. Brooklyn feels like a favorite, but given the choice between them or the field, I give the rest of the...

I would bet on the Nets to come out of the East, gun to my head. But I don't think it's the slam dunk you're making it sound like. If you look at the other super teams of recent years, more of those...

I can't honestly say I've watched a single minute of Pistons basketball this year (who honestly is anymore?), but I have to wonder how much of it is him just being totally washed and a complete lack...

It's still early in the season, but the Cousins prediction is looking pretty good right now. He just doesn't look like the same player, and it's not like the opportunity for more minutes aren't there...

We can agree to disagree on this then. Until the Bucks and Nets run away with the East, that conference still feels pretty damn open with Boston and Philly still being damn good. And we know Miami...

Right. But I'm not talking about teams winning it all out of the top 8. To me, if a team wins a championship that wasn't considered one of the eight best going into the start of the postseason,...

Mmm... I don't know that I necessarily feel that way about the NBA anymore. There are certainly teams you might call "super teams" in this era of the NBA, but it's not like the Curry/Durant Warriors,...

Yeah, I was curious and just checked the odds. Apparently even if they finish with the worst record in the league, the chances they end up with a top 4 pick are only 52%. With the fourth worst record...

Right, but if the Rockets don't end up with a top 4 pick, that's irrelevant, because their pick will go to OKC. Now they will get a draft pick in this draft (probably Miami's), but the way OKC...

If it was a clear black and white choice between the two, I'd agree with you. My biggest fear, though, is Houston will have a fire sale, tank like crazy, finish with one of the 3-5 worst records in...

The Rockets lost another one and looked out of sync last night at times (especially the first quarter), but for what it's worth, Oladipo looked legit. He definitely doesn't seem like a primary ball...

I love the Rockets. I hope they succeed and go further than they ever did with Harden. I think the likelihood of that happening in the next 5 years is basically zero and it happening in the next...

To clarify, I don't think it's JUST that Houston is a small market. I think it's that Harden is a very polarizing player, the Rockers were a very polarizing team AND they play in a small market. When...

Because Morey adores James, and anyone who has followed the Rockets closely the last decade knows this. :shrug:


Not remotely true. Tilman is the reason Ariza didn't get re-signed; he openly...

One thing now that the trade has happened that all Rockets fans are waiting for is the media narrative shift. There's a belief that Houston (and Harden by association) gets crapped on by the national...

Depends on what happens with the Oladipo piece of this trade. If he plays well and is happy, at least you get an All-Star caliber SG to replace James. He could even end up getting dealt for more...
