"LA sucks in the Playoffs. Don't worry about him."

I had a good lol at that one. LA has been very on par with his regular season and playoff performance each year. Yet to take it to another level though, but that is anything but sucking.

Just another thing that adds to the make up of what could be a very disappointing series for them. In my years I've learned to take a humble, statistical headed approach to the postseason. Using your emotions to support your thoughts leads to heartbreak.

That's a tall order. I keep expecting a thread on LakersGround.net about how they expect Silver to appoint them to the playoffs as a result of their past successes.

Every fan base has its share of delusional posters. I actually find the ClutchFans forum filled with good people. As for being homers, I think that's just part of being a fan.

There's homers and then there's delusional homers.

The Rockets fans think everyone wants to play in Houston. Nobody on this forum thinks we're going to sign a superstar outright.

I think unless a player grew up nearby, they probably only want to play in LA, NY, or Florida.

I don't think Florida is on the list. Shaq left. Dwight left. TMac left.

Yes, LeBron went there, but that was the only real situation where all three could sign with the same team.

No state income tax in Texas and Florida. It's a big deal.
 
Just for the record, Beverly did not out play Dame in any game this season. Damian put up better numbers in each contest. That BS getting in his face was not a basketball play by Beverly

His goal isn't to outplay him, it's to limit Dame as much as he can. He shot a lower percentage and he gummed up Dame's ability to run the point. Mission accomplished.
 
I swear, you'd think they were the #1 seed and we were the #8.

Do they not realize we have the exact same fucking record???

Now, the NBA can rig this either way and make it dramatic because we have the same record. The #5 seed beating the #4 seed is totally within their wheelhouse to control. I'm looking forward to what the NBA decides!

Man, I really hate just how true that "joke" may or may not be ...

How surprised would you be if the NBA decides who should win or lose based on some kind of algorithm that projects advertising and viewership?

We'd be fucked, and the rockets would win a championship. There's no hand in poker that beats the viewership Jeremy Lin gives the nba...

I completely disagree with this assessment of the matchup, Dame in every game had stellar numbers and Beverly did not. This is hype. All because of 2secs of posturing by Beverly that Dame shrugged off. Beverly was the loser in the guard matchup, not Lillard. In one game Chandler Parsons beat Nico, another Harden beat Mathews but Beverly never beat Lillard

Yes, that's the most likely scenario.
However, what if they decide they want to build a new marquee player that they can market? Someone who just signed the 3rd largest shoe endorsement deal sounds like a better fit than someone known around the league as the biggest flopper. Also sounds better than a whiny, past-his-prime C with back issues. And the fact that Lillard is on a small-market team is an added bonus - it'll show everyone that the new CBA is achieving its intended goals.
[/wishful thinking]
 
To get the complete fan view from the Rockets fans requires a computer that types Mandarin Chinese and the ability to read it
 
They lost any credibility when their entire board thought it was a "fair" deal to swap LMA for Asik.

Yeah its pretty obvious they are doing that as the cities of San Antonio, Memphis and Oklahoma City keep leading that metric.

Yeah its quite odd because Lillard actually performed worse with other Houston players defending him. But don't let facts get in the way of sensationalism!
