I'm done discussing it. But will make one last comment. FACT: The NBA is hugely emphasizing athleticism. It's clearly evidenced in the...
There are degrees and variations of risk. It's not very smart to take your risks with max contract players with a strong history of injuries....
What I remember about the Rockets when Yao was out.... 1) An almost unbelievable scoring run by McGrady where he averaged ~35 ppg. 2) A level...
Apart from all the wonderful Lenovo and 82Games stats we are now blessed with a crystal ball? Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are good enough to go...
It has more to do with talent than "killer instinct". In a league with unparralleled emphasis on athleticism and uptempo, Shane Battier as your...
The Celtics of the same era forced tempo with Bird, McHale, and Parrish... Walton, Ainge, DJ and Sichting weren't exactly track stars either....
Pardon me for interrupting your wet dream. Ray Allen has 3 more seasons on his contract and will make $16M next season. There isn't any way...
Exactly. Rockets' coaching and management have built a team of players who only have value in Van Gundy's system. But as bad as he is, Rafer...

You can't use a TE with a player for another player...you can't add $4.3m to a player making $2m for a player making $6.3m. You can use a TE...
Current personnel? Then YES, we do have a disagreement. The Rockets have far too many role playing spot up shooters and not enough...
Not sure what your point is. My response was to the poster whining about Van Gundy's offense. Sura, James, Wesley and Barry were scorers before...
DaDa - OK...it's all good on that one! :) Sorry for the confusion.
I don't care much for VG at all. But the problem isn't his coaching. It's his, Morey's and Dawson's personnel decisions of late. The 51 win team...
Considering the Rox leaped from 5th Lotto seed to 1st, it likely would have only taken Jefferson. ;)
Did I just read that the Utah Jazz don't have any talent? Hey, we can fix that right up for them... How about 3.5 of the Rockets starters for...
solid - You're probably going to hate yourself for asking... :) The NBA for many years now to provide a more marketable product has...
