The Rockets are a story around the league.

I'm watching NBA Coast to Coast right now and Harden's performance is constantly being messaged. Maybe this doesn't deserve it's own thread, but it's really nice to see the Rockets getting something besides 45 second recaps on Sports Center and nothing else. As much as I love JJ Watt and the Texans, I'm tired of them being the only story on national TV coming out of Houston.

I've been saying it for a while (especially since the Beard arrived) that Houston is the "most intriguing" team in the NBA right now. So many young players in new roles. How will Lin do? How will Asik do? Is Harden worth the Max? What is up with all of the rookies?
People are going to be paying attention to Houston this season.

Hell yeah! That's what adding Lin and Harden in one offseason does.

Let's hope it makes Houston an attractive free agent destination.

Lets make him a global mod, on the condition that I get to buy insider shares of DOW:NBA before it goes public.
As a side note, I can't believe our MODERATORS don't even watch the games. What kind of a forum is this?
(i think the rule is that butters is supposed to be made fun of every time anything good could happen to him, yes?)

Why do we Houstonian and/or Houston sports fans care so much about the National Media thinks about our sports teams? Can never understand it

At least for the Rockets, it might attract another top tier FA , but we might not need another one depending on how TJones and Dmo do this season.

You guys have one of the most fun to watch backcourts in the NBA.
Great job by your GM.
