Somebody please repost that Gobert gif knocking down a water bottle while cussing the F word in French. Haha...
The Astros hit this lull when they went to the Chris Carter strategy. A year later they started code breaker. So rinse and repeat.
But we are still 14:1 odds in vegas to win it all. 3rd in Western Conference behind the two Los Angeles teams. The TNT anal cysts can say what they want but if are a variable no team in the WC wants to face getting to the Finals.
As the league is in the west, Lakers and clippers were going to be in that west conf. finals, everyone knows this. I also think that rockets were going to get upset by utah maybe. That team is not the same team, and they play houston real tough. Everyone knows 3pt shot will never win in the playoffs if the % go down, and teams have to go back to what wins.. the basics? So if there was a 1st round upset, how would houston go into the summer im sure with this motive "Should we change are coach and playing style". Maybe it is time to see what houston can get for Harden. But if that is the narrative, how long do you really play this out, because everyone laughs at houston knowing James Cant win anything, and nobody can join James Harden to win a ring. I dont know, nobody knows what westbrook could of brought thou in the playoffs, so you cant really say. If West brook put up his 40, and james just didnt show up or was stumbled again, dont you think the same outcome would of just happen? Thats why his style of play or what he doesnt bring in the playoffs shows up. Rockets never advance because he doesn't bring his best to lead in crucial minutes. Could it of change or will it still change with westbrook?
