I think that the best time wherein Houston could have stop GSW on it's track and probably this two will have a great rivalry in the West, however, the next season when CP3 was healthy, it was totally different Houston that we have seen, but that version of Houston could be the closest, on how CP3 was playing and James Harden game, lots of 'what if'.

It was really great, it tells us how valuable CP3 than Westbrook, they bring the game in game 7 and Rockets has a great chance of winning if CP3 was not injured that time, they tried twice actually before CP3 was traded fro Westbrook but still failed, I think we can understand that as GSW was really a super team, if Without Durant, Rockets chance was higher.

Good analysis, you guys.  Grin
No questions, I'd also pick CP3 over Westbrook.
Not about the stats, but about how to make it a real team.
CP3 is not about making a point, it's about the play. That is also why I picked him as one of the greatest pointguards in NBA.
But putting 2 MVP's who likes making points will clash. It did happen.

I don't know what made Daryl decide to take WB rather than giving CP3 a chance. Harden maybe behind that decision too. (I am just assuming.)
CP3 asked him about that and he said no. I doubt he will say yes.  Grin

Do you remember in one post game interview after the Houston was eliminated and Harden was asked some questions and he said, "we know what to do" and maybe he talk to Daryl then and the next thing we know, CP3 was out and there was a trade. And at the beginning, there has some argument that those two Harden and WB could co-exists. Well there are some who says that they will, but majority says otherwise. Then they experiment of going small, was effective no doubt, but it won't bring championships though.


Harden as the best player of the team has the power to influence the top management in making a decision, but he should not be trusted as his decision is wrong most of the time, and look at his prediction on the 2020 NBA playoffs, he thought WB and him could win a championship but he was wrong.

BIG WRONG!

James Harden says Rockets will win 2020 NBA championship

He always predicting that Rockets will be the champion on the next year but he always choke during playoffs. Its not directly that he is choking but he can't carry his teammates since NBA nowadays allowed a powerhouse team. Nba should restrict an Allstar just like what LeBron james always just to get the championship. He always do it since Miami, Cleveland and now Lakers.

It's not fun to watch anymore Nba especially when 2 bottom teams are fighting to each other unlike before that there's always an Allstar player in every team.

He's just boosting up his team to gain confidence but in reality for sure they also don't know how they will do it they are really lacking with inside defender and also harden is a ball hog. Maybe if they will improve their line up and find some guys who can guard LeBron and Davis or the other strong stars maybe they will get a chances to take the champ next season.

But if they choose to play with their current line up I doubt they will step unto the finals.

He didn't choke, Lebron is more a chalker than Harden I believe, Lebron is just smart and knows how to find a good teammates.
Nba should restrict an Allstar just like what LeBron james always just to get the championship. He always do it since Miami, Cleveland and now Lakers.
He lead by example, some stars just follow.
The current line up of the Lakers who won a championship was full of all stars. They have Rondo, Davis, Howard, etc. (if there's more I forgot to mentioned)

It's not fun to watch anymore Nba especially when 2 bottom teams are fighting to each other unlike before that there's always an Allstar player in every team.

I guess they'll not do anything about that, NBA nowadays are soft and they allow this, players in the past has good reputation as an athlete as they are warriors at the same time, I love the physicality during the MJ era.

Warriors news. Scrimmage.
https://warriorswire.usatoday.com/2020/10/17/watch-warriors-release-footage-from-offseason-minicamp-live-scrimmage-at-chase-center/
1st Quarter
First field goal coming from Kevon Looney with a three point shot.
A good sign for the Warriors? They are cooking something out there.

I've been a Warrior fan since they start their journey towards the Playoffs. When they are in the Finals for consecutive times, I've been a fan of the team.
Even though there are some injuries happened to them, KD leaving to the Warriors and other more I still be a Warrior fan.

Definitely they are suiting themselves for the upcoming season. For sure aside from the Lakers and the Nets, this is the team that you need to watch out for. Threes are raining again as long as the Splash Brothers are healthy Cheesy. They will also get a good player from draft combine. Watch out for this team because they will come back stronger than ever Cheesy.

Does anybody have some thoughts if the current Lakers roster will undergo trades or on when LeBron might retire? What teams do you think would rise to the occasion to complete their line-ups?
Golden State Warriors is the team that everyone will look in for the next season.

Just as they say, they will "come back stronger". Actually, it could be any other team where these champs would probably be traded. No team is weak for me but only underrated.

I think most teams are going to be interested next season.

I hope.
That means more action in the West.  Grin

We will see.

But they are not the only team that we should wait and consider. There will be too many actions that awaits for us, the fans. It's where the most talks will go but when some updates comes from another team.

We'll go there and discuss, just after the finals, we're all excited.

And it seems it did good to GSW, they got burned out with those championship, so it's a total reset and I'm sure they will come back strong next season, they still have the core and that is good enough.

So let's see what GSW is cooking, specially that the championships goes back to the West and now seeing Lakers and Lebron and AD as a new threat to West supremacy, (used to be Harden's Rockets), but the goal shifted already. And not just Lakers but there are a lot of strong West team now since their departure. So they will come back strong and reclaim their old glory.

Plus Mavs are really not in a position that they could sign Giannis, dude would have to leave a lot of money at the table if he leaves Bucks, he reeeeeealllly has to want a championship if he does this,

That is Giannis would really want a championship, but most likely a player would choose a max salary than to achieve a championship, and though Giannis had already said that he will stay, still there's a little possibility that he will not re sign with his current team.

Quote
it would be a total KD move.
AD and Lebron I guess, Lebron was first actually.

Rondo is not leaving anywhere, dude is staying in Lakers, he is not signing with Lakers now because when he gets to be a free agent he will get to resign with Lakers for a lot more money, that is allowed for Lakers CBA situation and also more money for Rondo is like a "thanks" from Lakers as well. Same thing is going on with AD as well and people are not really considering AD leaving at all, they all know and realize that AD will be basically resigning with Lakers easily. That is why it is quite important to realize Rondo is doing the same thing and there isn o news there.

I'm still recovering on the fact that Laker's came onto the season highly un-favored but they really finished strong with this playoffs. Rondo and Howard proved themselves that they deserve a ring. Only man who was ring worthy that has not yet won a championship is Derrick Rose (imo). That ACL injury really messed him up.

Rondo is a gem, he is a great PG, probably a hall of famer in the future, so I hope he will be able to play at a good team that has a chance to qualify in the playoffs. What about playing along with Giannis, is it possible?
Everything is possible but chemistry should be the focal point and I think they may not be the best duo I can think of. I really like the Giannis-Doncic-Porzingis rumor trio and it's exciting to watch if this could be pursue in reality, just time will tell.

You are really pushing this trio huh... This could be a great TRIO and a championship potential.
Imagine, Luka a triple double guy, Giannis (double double), and Porzingis a double double guy, all the points will be earn by this 3 players.

How do you rate its possibility?

We love to make our own speculation, but this is what Giannis said after their loss against the Heat last season.

Quote
Giannis has spoken in the past about his desire to remain at Milwaukee and the Bucks have already started moving towards convincing him to stay.

“It’s not happening. That’s not happening,” he told Yahoo Sports after their season-ending loss to the Heat.

“Some see a wall and go in [another direction]. I plow through it. We just have to get better as a team, individually and get right back at it next season.”

His statement was quite clear, he would remain in his team, wants to be a better team next season.

I think this the right time for the coach to make a good change of the players to make sure them maintain the leading till the end of the match. 
Yeah, I've seen that movie where there's a lot of NBA actors in there. Was it "Back to the Future" eh? LOL that was dope.

What's the legacy of Daryl Morey's Houston Rockets?

It's a good read.
Like the whole life story of Daryl Morey with the Houston Rockets.
Decision making. Obtaining Harden, CP3, and Westbrook.
Almost reaching the championship but fell short because of CP3 injury back then against GSW.
IMO, there's a large possibility they could've won it if CP3 was healthy.

And more.

I think that the best time wherein Houston could have stop GSW on it's track and probably this two will have a great rivalry in the West, however, the next season when CP3 was healthy, it was totally different Houston that we have seen, but that version of Houston could be the closest, on how CP3 was playing and James Harden game, lots of 'what if'.

What you are saying mate?

The bubble season was done.

Lakers already took the trophy and the Clippers didn't make it to the finals. What's with the need to lead at the end of the match if the season's done?

LOL! he must be living in the past, or he has a time machine,.. haha.. Bubble is over, we go to the next season where Lakers won't be champ anymore.

BOOK THAT!
This is the 2nd encounter that I've seen which I think they don't really watch the end of NBA's bubble.

This is a great fight even though we all know that the Lakers has a high chance of winning we didn't expected that the Miami Heat will be able to reach game 6 which is still pretty amazing even though they lose the playoffs still a huge compliment to their team and also for Jimmy Butler.
What are you saying?

Miami lost the playoffs?

Miami and Lakers just ended the finals yesterday. Lakers won.
