Swapping Claxton with Alperen makes Rockets championship team???? This is probably first and last time I interact with you but I appreciate the...
Rockets did not dominate boards like usual or win turnover battle, those areas intrinsic to Rockets winning identity.
Have Rockets beaten the Kings this season? Feel like Kings swept the series.
You'd be wrong. Rockets do not even have a viable full time back up center. And Alp has the greatest impact on wins for Rockets.
That said, Cam is still the youngest player on the Rockets and he struggled with maturity and attitude issues pre-draft which caused him to drop.
Did you see a scenario for Wolves to trade KAT for Randle? And signing Naz to poison pill contract used to be a Rockets special.

Kudos for great write up! I'd also add that in addition to Amen's high IQ, other intangibles include limitless energy + quiet but intense...
There was zero thought by Ime to bench Dillon instead of Amen with Jabari's return. But Jabari off the bench allows him more opportunities to be...
Durant to MIN would be another aggressive win now move by the Wolves. Would hope Rockets help facilitate this deal to acquire Naz Reid. This plus...
"Perhaps what is most special of all, however, is Thompson's defense. He is going to get votes for first team All-Defense this season, despite...
Either Booker or Bud on way out?
