Real talk breh, what are your expectations? Cause you talkin like you expect a championship.

You really think the Rockets are a title contender? :picard:

Why wouldnt I expect one of the 3/4 best teams in the league to be a title contender? :what:

Only team I dont think the rockets can beat in a series is Golden state. Im not stupid.

Everybody else is fair game.

Another great coaching job by legendary defensive coach Tom Thibodeau :comeon:
First of all, the T'Wolves don't have a great defensive anchor, and a large % of their squad are young and still developing defensively. Second of all, this Rockets team is gonna have nights where they put up 120-130+ points, simply because of their shooting talent and the sheer amount of three-pointers they attempt (58 in this game alone). Not to mention the game was played at a pace of 111.9 (the league average this season is 96.5).

Pringles at the end of the day is good for the league because he does shyt like this that is just flat out entertaining.

I know what y'all want to say, but players just chucking shyt up there from all over the court is flat out ridiculously entertaining to me. It ain't even corner threes, as long as you behind the line you're good to gun. :russ:
funny thing is that this is one of the highest scoring nba seasons in awhile overall. Every damn near every nba game total is set > 200 in Vegas

Him back in the league + the Warriors got every team changing up

Those guys just suck. Both are overrated. I'm actually glad they teammed up so they could get exposed for putting up empty stats. Neither makes actual winning plays.

Rockets will lose to Memphis in the playoffs. A team that still plays real basketball with two bigs.

Also remember 3 years ago when the Rockets lost to the Blazers in the playoffs thanks to Lamarcus Aldridge cooking them from mid-range. He averaged close to 40ppg that series and did it almost exclusively through mid-range jumpers.

Rockets will smoke Memphis in a playoff series, come on now.

Also, no, Aldridge didn't average close to 40 wtf :deadmanny: He averaged 29.8 ppg that series. Close to 40 :russ:

I don't think there's ever been a more fitting marriage between a GM/coach like there is with Morey and D'Antoni. They probably look at each other after seeing a shotchart like

Funny thing is that move was just as much Les Alexander than Morey. But that philosophy in the offense is more so Morey with Dantoni systems

:mjlol:

Y'all ain't got no chance against San Antonio and Cleveland either.

Keep dreaming. Title race is a 3 team race with a healthy Clippers team having an outside shot.

Rockets = fool's good

Y'all nikkas might lose in the first round.

The NBA is going to have to do something about that 3 point shot. There is no way that the game of basketball should be played out in real life like it's a video game.

Ahhhh well, MLB is back soon. Shoutout to @Raul
