    I mean, they're pretty awful. Can barely beat Sixers, can't score 70 against OKC, lose to Lakers. Yes, they're 9-3 right now. They'll lose to Dallas. That's 9-4 and then the Knicks and Kings. They're losses too. So at 9-6, they'll be in trouble with a much more difficult schedule coming up. With teams like Sacramento and NO on the upswing, I just don't see how Houston makes the playoffs. Too much competition. Thoughts?

    As much as I would relish that moment I just don't see it happening. Although I will admit I'm not sure how they are doing it. Gotta be the schedule to have that good of a defense eff

    KS your jinxing ability is still in top form. You said the Clippers were awful a few days ago and they go out on the road and get well. Watch for the Rockets to do the same.

    The Clippers ARE awful and have not gotten well. Anyone can sweep Florida like that. When it matters, they are an awful team to the core. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are the most overrated players at their positions. I don't consider either of them to be top 5.

    More like a dud. Ten years in the league and he's won three playoff series. Lillard is already a third of the way there in 2 seasons.

    Weird how you tried arguing the Anthony Davis lack of playoff is a team concept, yet here you are using individual responsibility for this argument.

    In no particular order..

    Lillard
    Curry
    Parker
    Wall
    Westbrook
    Conley

    And maybe...
    Irving
    Lowry

    Eric, sometimes I really can't tell if you're joking or trolling.

    by the end you were just saying names. you hate westbrook more than you hate paul, but he's above him here?

    no to lowry or irving. parker (in current state, my criteria) is close, but i'd take paul. same with curry.

    paul is a top 5 pg, and there is literally no argument whatsoever.

    When have I ever said I hate Westbrook more than Paul? Westbroom choked against us but I never said I hated him more than Paul. Paul is awful. He hides his fouls so refs can't see them on defense and flops on offense.
