And now Boogie comes out on the second night of a back to back and puts up an absurd 28/17/5 tonight, and Gordon shoots 6 for 9 from the 3-point line for 33 points. And they blow out the Mavs by 25...

True, but Wood has been thriving at the 5 all season long. They've barely tried the Wood/Cousins front court on the floor at the same time, and it didn't really work out that well. Allen isn't a...

While I generally agree with the sentiment on keeping LeVert and Allen, it's important to remember that Allen is also on an expiring contract (albeit a RFA), and he plays the same position as Wood....

It's hard to say why he made the swap for Dipo. It's the most puzzling part of that trade. It makes me think that, at the time, they were still pushing to try to compete this season with this core....

I mean, it's pretty hard to make moves that make the team better when you're forced to move a top 5 player in his prime and have one of the worst contracts in the league on your books in Westbrook....

Shrewd move by Stone. The guy has made nothing but solid moves since taking over for Morey. Obviously I'm still torn between going for it with this core and tanking, but the Rockets could use all the...

I'm sorry, but this legitimately made me lol. What does this have to do with playing basketball in Houston, and what statement are you trying to make about our women? Also, Texas is red, but Houston...

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...
