I'm enjoying these threads!
1. Rice: Charlotte. He played in Miami for twice as long, but his peak was clearly as a Hornet.
2. Davis: Golden State. Played for Charlotte longer, but I'll always...
In terms of teams I can legitimately see winning the title this year, right now I would narrow it down to seven teams, in this order:
1. LA Lakers
2. Brooklyn Nets
3. LA Clippers
4. Philly...
Yeah, I don't get the shtick. Like it made sense at first and I could wrap my brain around it for the first few threads, but the fact that he's kept this going for a couple of years now just doesn't...
Agreed.
Yeah, I called this inevitably happening like a few days after he was traded. I think that narrative will continue into the playoffs, too. If Brooklyn makes the Finals and/or wins a...
I happened to catch James Harden's big statline for Brooklyn's OT win against the Spurs last night and something jumped out to me: 15 assists and 0 turnovers. The entire Rockets team last night in...
If you're dealing for Oladipo, though, you're probably doing it for the opportunity to buy low on him and re-sign him in the offseason to a team friendly deal. He's been terrible in Houston, but the...
For Wall? In a heartbeat. All of those guys are on moveable deals, and as they're all former Rockets, I'd welcome them back if they stayed. Especially Beverley.
For Oladipo, I don't love it, but...
I agree, but even then, I'd be a little shocked if they could move him this summer with 2 years, $90 million left on that deal without giving up picks in return.
1. Rockets: He peaked in Orlando, but played on better teams here in Houston.
2. Spurs: Just barely over Toronto because of his length of his time in San Antonio.
3. Clippers: He peaked in New...
Dipo needs to improve his trade value and be gone by the trade deadline. So do Tucker, House and McLemore. I'd love to move on from Wall, but I just don't see a team out there willing to take on the...
49 point loss to Memphis at home
23-83 from the floor (27.7%)
4-45 from the 3-point line (8.9%)
10 assists and 23 turnovers
More fouls (24) than made field goals (23)
Fast break points: 35 to 8...
Not detached from the franchise, but I just have so little motivation to actually watch or root for these guys. I'm convinced half the roster will look different in a month, and every time I turn on...
I was just thinking about whether Lowry has a shot at the Hall of Fame, and in my head, I thought his career compared favorably to Chauncey Billups. I pulled up Lowry's Hall of Fame probability on BR...
It's worth noting that Paul has actually logged more minutes this season. Lowry is playing more minutes per game, but he's missed seven of Toronto's games this season. Paul has only missed one game...
Right, and if you bring Lowry back on a 2-3 year contract, you're pretty much locking yourself into this team over the next few years. But this squad, as it's constructed, realistically can't compete...
Yeah, Paul's logged 100+ more games, 300+ more starts and like 6,500+ more minutes. And that's just regular season. When you factor in playoffs and their international career, Paul's mileage dwarfs...
:clap:
I'm with you, man. I've always been a huge Lowry fan and him retiring in Toronto seems fitting, but if you could get some legitimate picks or prospects out of that, you do that in a heartbeat if...
Trust me, if the Rockets somehow sneak into the playoffs, they should be thrilled to get to play this version of the Rockets. This Houston team would get swept in the first round by any of the top 4...
It is interesting to see Paul playing at such a high level given that this is his fifth franchise, and he had a reputation for injuries once he hit his 30s. If you had told me three years ago that...
:horse::laugh: Welcome to my ignore list!
And this is why I don't respect you. You refuse to have an actual basketball conversation, and you completely ignored all of the data and effort that went into that post. You go out of your way to...
Yes, for four reasons:
1. Mike Conley is finally the guy they thought they were getting when they acquired him.
2. Mitchell is the best version of himself we've seen so far.
3. This is the...
Honey, you wish you were capable of "making fun of me." All you do is take every opportunity to try and troll a single player—someone I remind you doesn't even play for the Rockets anymore. It's not...
