Let the Lakers overpay for Derozan. He and Lowry just aren't good enough in Toronto, I don't care how many regular season games they win. We might as well end that series after today, the Raptors play with no confidence once the playoffs hit. Lowry must have some stamina issues because he wears down every year.
 
I hope the Warriors destroy the Rockets?
 
Lmao...they just showed a Harden highlight and he traveled horribly...
 
So, Tunchi, what about that feast or famine with Lowry?

Since 3/25:

4/19(.211)
3/13(.231)
4/14(.286)
4/19(.211)
7/17(.412)
8/16(.500)
6/15(.400)
5/15(.400)
4/13(.308)

Don't EVER say that you want Lowry over Lillard ever again.
 
Also wow! They called a moving screen on the warriors.
 
It's too bad the Jazz completely blew their load the last week because I thought they could have at least competed with the Dubs and maybe stolen a game. The Rockets are like, "shit, we've got to keep playing? Hey only about 15 quarters to go and this season's over!"
 
I call mercy rule. The Rockets are lucky to only be down 24. This thing will be a 40 point game by the 4th. I guess the crowd boos Beverly because he's the only Rocket player that looks like he cares? I don't know really, but the Rockets need to be blown up.
 
Nothing better than a sunny afternoon watching the Rockets get embarrassed in the playoffs!
 
Really would like to see Portland implement some of these GS split actions with Lillard and McCollum next year. I think they could see similar success with it in time.
 
I honestly don't think Howard is a starter anymore. He just has such slow and terrible reactions to the ball. I know he is one of the only rockets who seems to be playing well. But, he has had several easy rebounds go off of his hands.
 
I've really begun hating the warriors this season, but this series is over in 4. It is fun to see just how mismatched these teams are. They are still letting Bogut get away with moving picks, but they are just so much better than the rockets.
 
Warriors choking with Curry out. It's getting interesting. Clutch City!

I actually think he could be a starter in the right situation. The Rockets aren't that situation.
But if you watch Howard, a lot of times he works to get deep post position in their offensive scheme and doesn't receive the ball. They instead pass it to someone like Josh Smith for 3....
I personally would get annoyed and start making mental mistakes too if I was working for deep position in the post, only to not receive an easy entry pass..
Howard is still a top 5 rim protector in the NBA and the Rockets are sooooo much better defensively with him on the court than they are off the court.
But you're only as good as the people around you in team defense. Outside of Brewer & Ariza the Rockets have no defenders.
Personally I wouldn't be upset if the Blazers landed him as their rim protector in the offseason.
