2016 Houston Rockets Pre-Season Thread - Preseason Finale vs Spurs

Honest question Rocket fans...do we want this team to make the playoffs? On the one hand I'm like...we'll get to see GSW in Htown on their way to what may be back to back titles and the greatest championship run a team has ever had. On the other I'm like we're in the lottery with a chance to land Ingram or Simmons...

We have a better chance of beating the Warriors than winning the lottery.

Take that for whatever you want,

A wise man once said, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!" 

The whole point of playing is to win a championship. You can't win a championship unless you get into the playoffs. Once you get in, anything can happen. Beverly already injured Westbrook, maybe he could do the same to Curry

:lol: :lol: at landing Simmons or Ingram. Y'all know we're taking an undersized PF that plays even smaller than they are, and won't be here 2-3 years from now

I disagree...the rockets have a 0% chance of beating the Warriors and a 1% chance of getting the 1st or 2nd pick :lol:

Sad thing is; I think GSW would still beat the Rockets without Curry. They beat the Rockets in Houston without Curry by 4 and Klay went for 40 I think.

:lol: ...but if Leslie fires Morey before draft day, anything can happen

:lol: Sounds like something Dallas fan would say

Those in touch with reality would realize we've won 1 game against these guys since 2013. The lone "win" was 45 from JH to avoid getting broomed out the playoffs. This after our "magical" run against the LAC.

1-12

Yall are delirious, man :lol:


Shoulda "tanked". 0% chance at the top pick. No telling what we could snag at #10-14ish, though.
 
^Well you have a point on the Morey thing even though I don't think they should do that :lol:. Also, they'd have to injure Draymond to get anywhere, not Curry
 
guys turning on Morey now :lol:


Cats are very near-sighted in analysis. We would be the 2000s Rockets if it weren't for half of the assets Morey drafted/obtained/traded

"when it all falls down"

Leslie would be foolish to let Morey go after one bad season but stranger things have happened.

Playoffs or not I think JB is done. I think the Rockets job was maybe too much pressure, too soon for him. He needs to go learn under somebody other than Mchale or his dad, then give head coaching another shot.

That would be silly, and very reactionary for Morey to be fired. I'm not even sure which portion of this fancies is advocating that, but it's very weird.
 
Rajon Rondo | Darren Collison | Seth Curry
Marco Belinelli | Ben McLemore | James Anderson
Rudy Gay | Omri Casspi | Caron Butler | Duje Dukan
Willie Cauley-Stein | Quincy Acy | Eric Moreland
DeMarcus Cousins | Kosta Koufos
 
Ain't like Morey has that great success with his draft picks (esp. Lotto picks), but the playoffs suck without the Rockets.

No matter how this season went, give me 4 more games (I'd prefer at least 8 more TBH).

1. Draft picks are assets. We don't obtain Harden without Morey.
2. Playoff basketball should be sound, quality play. We're random/erratic. I don't want my kids watching JH randomly bail us out and think that is alright, nor would I enjoy watching a swee


Peep Game Peep Game ha, my bad. I read both of those names as Steph Curry each time and was confused. :lol:.

much rather watch Seth blender in a one-off than have the whole word watch us get washed for a series. It gets devalued because every team has a random guy that has likely gone off against the Rockets before. Particularly good shooters, in which Seth fits the bill.
 
Stein Saying Rockets have interest in Thibs and Brooks

all in at Thibs

not sold on Brooks but if KD approves of Brooks....
