I need Houston to win tonight. It'd be amazing tonight.

I'm done ever taking the Rockets seriously again, I don't care how many points Harden can score, he can't get it done in the playoffs. His game just doesn't translate.

I appreciate the Rockets and Celtics going out like they did because it only makes us and our perseverance look spectacular, regardless if we win game seven or not.

No doubt.

That said, whatever happens in G7, the winner gets a pretty awful prize waiting for them in the Conf Finals.....

Yeah, I was thinking about this when I got up this morning. Man. All of us had one chance, no matter how small, to actually get to the finals, we had a chance to see a finals that wasn't Golden State! And Houston blew it! THEY BLEW IT!

No Durant! Curry had zero in the first half!

They blew it for all of us!

HEavy sighing.

That got a good laugh out of me. He's such a disaster 99% of the time.

Isn't that kinda shame on us for expecting anything else from Harden, Paul and the Rockets? They've done nothing but choke big opportunities in the playoffs for years now.

I'm sure everyone has seen the Tyreke Evans headlines. You have to have a serious problem to turn your back on the opportunities the NBA provides to Tyreke. I hope he gets his life on track.

I wonder if we ever considered offering CJ for Kawhi.

by the 'reporting' CJ was not made available when Paul George was being shopped (Olshey basically confirmed that in comments), just those 3 draft picks and matching salary. Kawhi was available and I'd bet Olshey still held CJ untouchable

I can't see that changing any time soon

I doubt we even did we likely would have gotten him also, I think CJ is more valuable than DeRozan especially when considering age.
