Of course.. and CP isnt perfect.. but it seems that relationship soured cause of Harden. Ive said it for a while now... i would not be upset if the Rockrts blew the team up and shipped him for young talent or drafts. Id take RJ barret and two of the Knicks 1sts... and then just suck *** for two years..
but you never really know with Houston. I can see them losing in the first round or winning the whole damn thing.
Such a weird team.
Such a weird team.
There was a lot of hate about Ayton's pick, but I think it will end up being great. (In the future). Not saying that he will be better than Luka, just that I think Ayton will be good.
Yeah, I can't see the king's game either, but it seems Fox went off, but he was like 1-7 from three.
oh man, you must be drunk. RJ barret? The ****. lol, come on man. That would be brutal to watch. I think trade Westbrook, and find 6'6" two-way players and build a team around Harden.
Also, mobile big. The one they used to have is great. (hell maybe someone like Nick Richards).
Why not take a shot on him.. he could be a mini Mcgrady. Then you take the Knicks would-be top 5 picks.
Not sure if Westbrook has the draw these days. Not a shooter, getting toward the older side. His teammates get better when they leave him.
The NBA is all about getting those 1 or 2 franchise players. If the NBA isnt going to let Harden play his game in the playoffs (and so far, they have not) than hes reduced to a shell of himself and his team has no chance.
I hate all Duke players, so my opinion becomes hugely biased. I think T-mac is few tiers above Barrett. I think Barrett is high usage and highly inefficient player.
I still think Harden is fine, just weird coaching by Mike D'antoni. 100% small ball seems weird. Take some defensive agile big incase of opponents that have a major interior presence.
Oh for sure hes below mcgrady by many tiers.. but you take a shot on him if it comes with the 3rd pick and the 4th pick. Harden is great in the regular season.. post season is different. He doesnt draw the same fouls.
yeah, that was a clean block. Nice defense by Covington.
Houston really doesn't have any mobile big...sheesh
Draft Nick Richards!

The NBA is an American based basketball league. The nba does not have the power to tell China to stop doing things they’ve been doing for centuries. The NBA can only provide an outlet for Chinese born players to be able to escape their situation. If you don’t like the nba and want to bring the politics of it up there’s a political forum full of bozos who devote their life to worshiping false idols and political finger puppets. Otherwise this is a thread about basketball and the nba and it’s something to take our minds off of the things going on in the world right now. You knew what you were getting into when you decided to follow a league that’s 90% African American. I do not care about this ignorant **** I want to talk basketball. I don’t understand why people like you doing this have to constantly ruin a good thing by coming in and trying to be negative.
I think it’s already happened a bit, but I feel like Keldon will sort of be forgotten a little bit over the years. I loved watching him play. Even when he wasn’t having a great game he always played hard with a smile on his face. Plus I’ll never forget calling the halfcourt buzzer beater to my dad even though we lost that game lol
They’ll be able to I think. They’ve handled this entire bubble perfectly. Back to back weeks of 0 positive cases and they have things set in place in case someone does. I think it any sport will be able to finish what they need to finish it will be the NBA.
What they’re doing is the most ridiculous fun thing I’ve ever seen lol Mike D’Antoni and Darryl Morey are mad men.
The only duke player I like a JJ Redick. Even sixers fans don’t like him or didn’t when he was here but for whatever reason he’s just fun to watch for me.
No no no.. Morey is fine. Great actually, although a little desperate.. its MDA thats a problem.
Id trade the whole team before I trade Morey.. yes, all of them.
Id t
No I agree I love Morey but he does some unorthodox things as a GM too like he’s all about star hunting and will trade anyone for a star even if they don’t fit the system. MDA is definitely the problem with the system. I think even Harden has said he doesn’t like playing like this.
Hes an analytics guy. Dude is ten steps ahead of everyone else.. but.. you still need a star. He has one, but they ran into an absurd super team for 3 years.
Harden and Morey and MDA would have two titles otherwise.

I agree for sure. They should have beaten that super team the year prior to trading CP3. If not for just a ridiculously bad shooting night it would have been over.
The kind of thing that haunts you. Like Kawhi’s gift from god fade-away to beat my sixers. If that doesn’t fall they would’ve won and I think they would’ve made their way to the finals. Just something I will never get over lol. The only game 7 game winner with no time left in nba history (I believe) and of course the sixers were on the wrong side of history being made.
Yep and a career high 39 which I was a little surprised wasn’t higher. You might not recognize him without the signature hair lol
Covington was actually initially signed by the Rockets as an undrafted player and worked his *** off to be one of the most valuable role players in the league. It has to be a cool moment for him to be back with the team that first gave him a chance as a starter and maybe their third most important player
Yea the sixers traded him away for Jimmy Butler sadly and that’s why he’s on probably the most team friendly contract in the league. I miss Cov. What a ridiculous game this is lol.
People are going to get mad at me for saying this but there has never been a dude who can just score like Harden can. There’s not an offensive thing he’s not elite at. No he doesn’t have the team success that guys like jordan or kobe had but that dude can do things that neither of those could and I’m not sure they would even if they had played in today’s league. They would still be the best players don’t get me wrong but I don’t think they’d score at will for anywhere past half court like this dude does. Luka is another guy like that.
Helluva game. Lot of basketball yet to be played in the bubble (hopefully).
Your team played well man. No reason to be worried and honestly I think in a 2-7 matchup they could beat the clippers.
De’Aaron Fox looked great last night . Shifty moves .
He cut his hair during the quarantine break
damn he is crafty. The question will be, will he be able to add 3 point shooting (likes of Jason Kidd did) or will he become the next wall/westbrook type player?
I keep getting overly excited thinking about playoff seeding.. and forget that there's no home court advantage. Oh well, Rockets will atleast avoid LA and LAC in the opening round.. Would love to get up into the 5 or 4 spot though.
I can just kick back and watch the former UK guys today. This first one should be entertaining. Bam & Herro versus Jamal Murray.
Kind of interested to see OKC, with SGA, Nerlens and Diallo all in the regular rotation.

Bam looks damn good. Love seeing is growth.
I am really curious about SGA's game. Watching him now.
