Rockets getting Slept on

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Tin man and the cowardly lion ain’t doing shyt
Can’t wait to see the excuses this year

Nuggets in 5

Nuggets 0-life against Capela.

Jokic too fat

Chris Paul's first year in Houston he ranked #2 in the league in isolation scoring. #1 was Harden.
Last year when he was hurt and playing like shyt he dropped all the way to NUMBER 40. From #2 to 40th in one season.

Westbrook was never ever close to top 40 in any year of his career. Houston is going to have to change their offense. But it won't matter - that team had CP3 guarding perimeter guys bigger than him and he held his own at most times.
Westbrook is one of the worst PG defenders and now he'll be teamed with Harden? They can't even play these 2 + EJ together vs any team with good wings (oops!).

They are about to get TORCHED.

And yet GS has managed to cobble together an even worse backcourt defensively.

If Russ can finally accept that he can’t shoot for shyt...and commit to using his athleticism to be a slasher/facilitator...this team can be a nightmare for the rest of the league.

not happening

To me AD will be fine. Him and Rondo will be real good as a tandem

My worry is that LeBron is already Wizard Jordan status and no one wants to realize it. And their bench is asscheeks outside of Danny Green

If his 3 ball looks as good or better than it looked last year and hits free throws he will probably be alright. He cant go hard every play anymore though, his defense and instincts on that side of the floor is gone.

Gotta see how it works out with westbrook and harden. Never been a fan of Westbrook's game but he is a great player..lets see how the season plays out...let's leave the bold predictions to the knick fans

Knicks

I'm sorry, but why is everyone forgetting how trash Harden has been in the playoffs on better teams for the past 5 years...?

Westbrook got cooked by Dame last postseason, too.

These nikkas aren't gonna get past Portland...

But they still have Draymond and will be getting Klay back. Not to mention Looney is gonna eat this year. But life isn't all about GS broski. The Rockets will be good but come playoffs it's going to look ugly.

Except you're the one who brought up the Warriors in your latest exchange - the discussion was specifically on the Rockets' backcourt defense and you thought it was appropriate to state the Warriors had an even worse backcourt, defensively, after you just called out other posters for bringing up the Warriors.

Never mind the fact that the Warriors weren't the only team brought up in this thread.

The Rockets and their fans have been the most embarrassing part of this board for [at least] the last half a decade.

Getting your ass kicked 4 times in the last 5 years in the playoffs by the same team would do that to you. I couldn't imagine one team destroying my squads championship hopes 4 times in 5 years they get McHale and Dwight and still went fishing they get CP3 and Pringles and still went fishing one team done had them casting out in May for damn near half the decade

Rockets arent slept, they're usually somewhere in the top 5

Now dallas is sleep on.

Dallas is about 3 years away from making noise. They will be nice eventually, but the KP trade left their roster a mess.

The only reason to underrate the Rockets is you have to question if Harden and Westbrook can operate since they both need the ball to be at their peak. That is a legit question in my book.
