Houston Rockets might be low key contender

[iamgine]

They have a very balanced attack and terrific defense.

When the majority of your starters are vets who were defensive studs (Wall, Oladipo, Tucker), everyone else tends to follow along and play great defense. This team reminds me of '04 Detroit Pistons.

Harden proved to be the braindead idiot we knew he was when he left.

Him and Wood would have been devastating, and the team would have been really nice. C'est la vie.

Apparently: "doing better than expected" = "contender"

[imdaman99]

I don't think it'll last. Them being hot right now, it's a sense of pride after Harden didn't want anything to do with them. It's kinda weird, I thought this would have been one of the most talented teams Harden had in Houston. But I guess he was done with the owner.

Barring injury, which is a big thing for them, I think Houston is one of them most complete team in the league. They have playmakers, rebounders, defenders, size, shooting, cutters, bench scoring, depth, vets, star level talents, etc. There's no weakness in their team, other than injury risk and no superstar.

Contender to make playoffs, and make it past the first round if they get fodder like Blazers. Nothing more than that.

[Akeem34TheDream]

They are OKC 2.0 They should be tanking because of the picks they got but they also have a solid team. They can be 4th or 5th. Grizzlies are also doing well quietly. With JJJ returning they might make the playoffs too.

Posting in Harden is a b1tch thread.

What a weak cvnt, running to that stacked Nets team with his clown d1ck between his legs

[KD7]

Really liking what's going on in Houston.

Unselfish basketball, looks like everyone is having fun on that team

[Jasper]

I like Wall in Houston , then I ever did in WASH.

I think he is solid!

[AirBonner]

Got to love how wall was washed up out East but is flourishing in the west. Wild Wild West

This.

What are the odds of them making the playoffs? Last year, espn gave the thunder a 0.2% chance but were dumbfounded after cp3 ultimately proved them wrong. That said, the rockets would probably do better than the pelicans this season.

Rockets a contender? Funniest shit I heard today.

Also the rockets defense is ranked #1 in the league since Harden left.

Nets defense is ranked the worst in NBA history since Harden arrived.

hahahahaha clippers are going to kick their asses tonight.

[hold this L]

95% they wouldn't. That's my point, only if they get a flakey team do they get to go past the first round. Otherwise, they're going out then.

[GOBB]

Damn.. your life must be ****ing depressing.

If I was a rockets fan thinking we were contenders then yes.

[k0kakw0rld]

Ignore teams like Denver, Jazz and talks about the Rockets who played Pelicans, Pistons, Mavs, Wizards, Suns & the Thunder. They are on a 6 W streak.

Basically, nobody.

Coming from a Philly fan? :yaohappy:

[Kiddlovesnets]

We will see then, but it will be hilarious if the Rockets do make the finals, what a failure for Lakers and Clippers if this happens.
:lol

You are an idiot. Your opinion isn't worth shit.

Why are you so mad? We all know the Raptors are shit, take it easy and calm down okay?
:cheers:

[Mr. Woke]

Nope lol.

I preferred the Rockets when Harden was playing there.

The team isn't fun to watch anymore. Wall isn't what he once was (ditto with Cousins). Wood is pretty good, but not a true difference maker. And no one else on the team is a showstopper.
