OT Break up the Rockets?

[riverman]

Rockets are just now experiencing the after effects of Clyde Drexler syndrome...it's creepy. When I think of the Rockets I think of the Beatles hit..Can't buy me love

Man, there was a time when I thought Harden was better than Westbrook. I thought the Thunder should have traded Russ instead of Harden. I don't think that anymore. Russ might be the best point guard in the league.

Well back when OKC had both... Westbrick wasn't better than Har_en, and I thought Har_en played decent defense too on a not as old but still old Manu...
I mean They ran Har_en/Durant two man game at the end of games. Westbrick was the 3rd option.
Now though it's not even close. Westbrick > Har_en

McHale was a Boston Legend on legend teams. As a coach/manager he tailspinned in Minnesota and obviously his Rockets dismissal has nothing to do with his legendary player status. To the owner, he may have been the best economical option.

I would think of Helter Skelter as a Beatle comparitive.

Really? I don't agree at all.

They have almost the exact same PER. Russ is averaging almost double the assists. Curry is averaging more points and is clearly the better scorer, but no where near the same level? I don't think so.

Russ is having some great stats but I don't think he's contributed to his team winning at near the level of Curry. There's a much bigger gap between Curry and Westbrook than Dame and Westbrook. Actually I'm not even certain Westbrook is superior to Dame and a handful of the top PG's in the league. Westbrook is shooting 31% on three's and averaging 4.9 turnovers per game.

Show me. To save you time in searching for Lillard on this list, I'll just tell you that he's on line #29.

Statistically Wesbtrook is far ahead of Dame; I wouldn't argue that. Just my opinion on how they impact their team. You switch Dame on to OKC with those teammaets and put Westbrook here on our rebuild which team becomes better? I said I probably gave the nod to Westbrook but its close.

Oh please. Russ hasn't broken any laws. Curry has a baby face but I'm sure he's just as cocky as Westbrook.

I mean Houston. And "law abiding" <> "high character."

I wonder if OKC would be interested in trading for Howard? Seems like it might be worth adding him to Russ/KD in a last-ditch effort to create a championship team and retain KD this summer. Howard has definitely lost a lot of athleticism, but with how much attention Russ demands Howard could absolutely dominate off of screen/rolls and put-backs.

Howard could help them; his defense is way better than Enes, although his offense is worse. Still a big net positive there.

Would Dwight start over Steven Adams though?

Fucking Harden had fucking 50 fucking points and was fucking flirting with a fucking triple double tonight.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Yet Hou could only beat the worst team in the league by, what? 2 points?

 

[Natebishop3]

50 points..... but 16 points off free throws. Fuck the NBA.

50 points..... but 16 points off free throws. Fuck the NBA.

And James Harden.
