    It feel like he brilliantly came up with the word "manalytics" and wanted a reason to say it a dozen times

    People like these talking heads because they add a layer beyond analytical analysis. They delve into the irrational mind. They spew non sensible dribble, and people pay attention. It riles fans more than it eases them; even when the clear logic is there....

    There will be only one championship awarded each season, meaning there is a lot of frustration in an emotional fan. And their comfort is the irrational “know-it-all’s” in their TV....

    The drama is real, and that’s what draws the ratings...

    Cowherd is a clown.

    I'll say this - we are still unproven. Regular season success can predict playoff success but there are way too many examples of "regular season champions" who failed in the dance. Most recently, the 73-win Warriors. Before than the 60-win Suns and the 67-win Mavericks.

    What this means is that we are just as unproven as anyone else. Golden State gets the benefit of the doubt because they've done it before. We don't get that benefit. So be it.

    This team, at it's best, can beat anybody. That much is clear. Now it's up to the guys on the court to bring the best version of this Rockets team - that we've seen only for a couple of quarters so far - and silence all the haters.

    It can be done. But it's far from a certain thing. I think it's OK to accept the ambiguity of our situation and still be optimistic.

    Let me start by saying, I like Cowherd for a few reasons; he doesn't back down from what he says, he mans up when he's wrong, and he gets a lot of things right... all this compared to most pundits, and I'll take Cowherd any day.

    BUT HOLY **** was he off on most of what he said in this segment! some of his comments made me want to throw up lol. I understand the distrust and concern, but David West, Draymond Green, fukin ZAZA?! Wtf are you on today, breh? And this dude needs to stop reading his opinions off some sheet of paper. If they're your opinions you don't need to read them.

    #negativevibes leaking your way Cowherd ;)

    He's entitled to his opinion. We haven't proven anything yet. Let's prove the world wrong. It is like calling a man an idiot because he doesn't think cookies'n cream is a legit delicious icecream flavor. We all have opinions.

    What really bothers me is he really mentioned Zaza Pachulia. Is he really promoting cheap fouls that can injure another player? I agree that in the playoffs we need dogs but the league really needs to do something about the Bowens and Pachulia's of this league.

    exactly. I'm absolutely mystified that anyone could give Zaza anything remotely close to a compliment. It's pure insanity.

    This would matter if Cowherd weren't a blowhard idiot not worth paying attention to in the slightest.

    Because he works for them. He created an account to push their bull$hit and help get more clicks. Just don't open the link and you won't help them.

    Unpopular opinion, but I like doubters. It helps calm the homer in me and thinking about the Finals very early.

    What you talking about man?

    Who the F is Chips Kelly? Is it this similar to the taco stand trailer concept of Taco Julio where tacos are sold by Julio? Except that it's now Chips and Ducks sold by Kelly?

    @Fulgore ???
