A reply seen on Twitter..
"The Rockets already lost their one chance at a title... Now they're just ruining their team for years to come."
Remember when Golden State bandwagoners told us nobody wants to play with Bron cuz he "toxic".
Season sweep of the Spurs complete. Lakers are the most "fun to watch" in the league.
Ill be shocked,if Tristan isn't traded.
He's been more productive than Mr. Talc.
Capela took a step back last season after his new 5 yr/$90 milly contract (most do). His one dimensional game, and injuries (reduced production) got him shipped out the door. Not surprising at all. Now, ATL has 2 more broken up centers (Nene) to warm the seats next to Len.
As much as I like Capela & hate to see him go I understand the Rockets logic. Capela got his ass handed to him the past few playoffs series against the Warriors, he struggles against small lineups.
Even though I'm not a big fan of the Rockets playing small, they did go 10-1 without Capela. Covington is a great 3 & D player that will help the Rockets perimeter defense. The Rockets still need to find a stretch 4 or 5 that shoot deep, Capela was limited in this offense because all he could do was roll to the rim.
If the playoffs started today, the Rockets would be matched up against Dallas in the first round. As it stands they might end up playing Utah in the first round. So PJ would be expected to play big minutes in the paint against Joker or Rudy....
Yeah, good luck to all the Rocket fans but that small ball shit ain't gonna work in a seven game series against two of the elite centers in the game.
Man they thing is they gotta play to the strengths of the players.
Fuck I think they shot too many 3’s now u gonna bring in another player to shoot that shot...yes lawd then again I don’t know nothing I’m speaking from a distance that don’t have nothing connected to a NBA front office.

If PJ knocking down that shot it kinda balance things out. Plus the defensive big would be pulled away from the goal ideally...but if they miss 30 straight from long range

And LeBron was on fire from deep i was glad to see it!
Lakers are up there as most fun tho
For me most fun right now are the grizzlies I have to see what ja is going to do on a nightly basis
The money they paid him lolI think they wanted to get rid of his money

Dantoni is a lame duck coach so he just saying fuck it at this point. He finally gets to play his kind of small lineup and run cats like PJ into the ground smh.
Bro we just beat Utah without Harden, Westbrook or Capela. We have bigs on the roster they just haven't played. 7 games, we could beat themIf the playoffs started today, the Rockets would be matched up against Dallas in the first round.

And as far as Denver goes, ask @M.H.C. if he wants to see us in the playoffs.
Still not understanding why Hartenstein isn't getting minutes at center.
Shit he will now, he played a couple last night. Something tells me they value Hartenstein as a cheaper fill in to Capela. He's had a couple good games when Dantoni gives him quality minutes
I think they wanted to get rid of his money
That was definitely a big factor too. Rockets new owner is not trying to pay luxury tax
I thought I read somewhere that fertita gave him permission to build the team as he saw fit, irregardless of the salary cap.... let me look...
I think the only good thing about this trade for us besides getting Covington back is we now have like 8 or 9 TPE's and I thought I read that totals a little over 12 million. If that's the case that could get us a serviceable big.
So it's Wednesday and I'm not hearing Philly pop up in any trade talks. So does that mean the front office thinks we already have all need to make a playoff run, cause .... 
we don't !!!!
we don't !!!!

You do.
The problem isnt a lack of talent.
Its that the talent doesnt know how to win.
Philly has some great pieces. Embiid and Simmons aren't mature enough to lead them to where they need to go. They need an old head in there to guide them. That was Butler's job, but he had no patience for them.So it's Wednesday and I'm not hearing Philly pop up in any trade talks.

Couldn't agree more. Jimmy Buckets was the perfect piece and we didn't do anything with him. Now he's balling outta control in Miami while my 76ers are looking like a round 1 or 2 exit.
I know.....i'm just talking lol
Interesting how the Bucks massive dominance is being met with a collective yawn
I think it a few things
the bucks
Being in the east
Really don’t have a recent playoff history, still developing
let them make something nasty happen this year(make it to finals) then the chatter will be there....real b-ball heads recognize them(well I’d like to think so)
Miami is not playing..
