That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Imagine losing by 40 points in an elimination game on your home court with the other team missing two starters, one of whom is an MVP candidate.

That'd probably be pretty embarrassing.

both of whom are Finals MVP winners and the PG is replaced by a rookie

look how the bulls got rolled versus the Spurs winning those two games, confirmed that Kawhi is a System Player and Rondo is the True MVP

Everyone should be cheering for the Spurs to get the 1 seed so that Kawhi wins MVP. We don't want to look back at this like the Derrick Rose MVP where we let our emotions make a stupid decision.

This is something Bashez said a long time ago and interestingly enough this game PROVED it needs to be Westbrook as everyone reasonable was arguing all along

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The Rockets would've been better off with Harden shooting 40 times than what just happened.

Like I said earlier, a second round loss was probably the best realistic outcome for the Rockets this year, but drat that was an embarrassing roll-over to end the season. Pop owns D'antoni's soul.

Which team will hilariously overpay Jonathan Simmons this summer?

I'm 100% aboard the mid range shots are evil bandwagon but no backup plan when your opponent runs you off the three point line and then hugs the lane is just bad basketball.

If the Spurs win 50 games a season until I'm dead I'll make a post about how good they are.

i can't believe that the simon sez guy is a loving thing, i saw that dude do halftime at a northwestern-depaul game and thought they had scraped the bottom of the barrel for the 85 people in the stands and not that the guy was a regular halftime entertainer. The best halftime I've seen (other than Red Panda) was a bunch of tiny kids doing fancy dribbling that ended with them spinning basketballs on their faces with these like 10-foot poles, it was insane.

Stop the poaching, man. :( we're not even the champions, it's not fair. I've lost too many brothers to Spurs human trafficking, Bobo, Boban, and the only one that worked out was Mavs inside job saboteur Dejuan Blair. Someone overpay Ian Clark or Derrick Williams or something

Yeah, it wasn't criticism. I was wondering why harden didn't feel the desire to switch to heroball mode. Dude has lead the league in scoring 3/4 years, was real thirsty for that MVP; where did that glory hound go? like try to seem like you want to be the hero. Who cares if some giactric dude blocks you a few times, or fail and people point to your 40 shots. You got that security blanket beard. Feel something out there that shows you don't care about the consequences.

All jokes aside, how did that team win 55 games? Was it because regular season games don't give you enough time to prep for the Rockets' Moreyball style?
