This Rockets team would be the 4th seed if Bickerstaff wasn't loyal to vets. Capela, KJ McDaniels and Mini Mamba should be getting Brewer, Dwight (he's mentally checked out) and Jason Terry's minutes.

Capella will be starting for the Rockets next season no doubt...

Unless Dwight opts in...even though everyone's miserable, he's gotta know nobody is giving him $23 million next year. I think he'd be lucky to get half that.

The Rockets are still alive.

I don't understand why Donovan won't play him more.

They need his touch aroubd tge rim especially when kd sgoits those wild ass 3s from nowhere. Kanter gets easy put back points and they go cold offensively if russ or kd aint scoring

 

[dem bath salts]

Harden was on one tho. He def won this one

 

[KRiLL (+)]

HOW TF IS MEMPHIS A 5TH SEED?

We have no chance when Howard is in. Capella is better than Howard already and it isn't even funny.

I dont think that. Its all mental with howard. I dont like the body language cuz its a long season and very weary hut howard looks like hes disengaged when hes in the floor. He still has it but hes just not getting it. The offensive rebound opporunity that seem to shoot up for the other team when he's in just tells the whole story. And then he should nore offensive rebounds. Eslecially when you book at the type of style we play where its long jumpers or right the rim shots.

We came out feeding him in the third quarter and okc built up their biggest lead.

Dude has been very good his first two yars here but this season hes not into it.

 

[Damnshow]

rockets got all chances to make it to top 8, their next opponents are trash except the dallas maybe?

I mean damn they play suns, lakers, kings and wolves. Gotta win them all, no excuses.

Howard was good but the last month and a half he has not been too good. His post game is nonexistent. His hands are not that good (he mishandles so many passes) hence the stickum. And his lateral quickness is not what it used to be. If Capella can score via the post about 4-6 points you know he's gonna get putbacks and lobs as well as get stronger then I believe riding with Capella will be a better option than Dwight.

Milwaukee would give him 20. Them small market teams would give him an opportunity and the money.

Milwaukee wanted him badly at the deadline but he wouldnt opt in to next season like they wanted him to.

Milwaukee has a rich trafition off acquiring old washed vets. They traded prime Glenn Robinsin for a aging Anthiny Mason and they trade prime Ray Allen for 13 year gary payton

We got swept by the nets. Nothin is a guarantee.
