If Miami takes down Bucks, Giannis most likely refuses to extend, and there's a real chance to trade for him. Seems like only way to get the deal done on our end would be to offer Klay + #2 pick this year + next year MIN first (+ some additional filler). Neither Dray or Wiggins contracts have enough value to get the job done. Would you be willing to trade Klay + our lottery picks to get Giannis? Lacob probably says yes to that, I'm feeling mixed...

Those background vocals had me LAUGHING! Great work.
I take great pleasure in any team putting the Rockets in their place ("They ain't even that goood"). They're more of a failed experiment than a venerable foe. Even if they make it out of the first round, they won't make it out of the second. Harden is good, but Westbrook has to be one of the most overrated players I've ever seen. He absolutely falls apart in the playoffs and is the LAST player who should have the ball in their hands in the 4th quarter. CP3 eliminating the Rockets would be pure poetry.
The entire Rockets organization is the definition of insanity. They keep playing the same way and failing in the playoffs, but instead of changing course, they double down and further commit to their failed style.
If they get ousted in the first round, it should be hard to justify the coach and GM keeping their jobs, as they've become a laughing stock. I can't take the Rockets seriously any more.
I'll admit that I haven't paid a ton of attention to the playoffs. But as things progress, I am surprised to find that I have more of a rooting interest than I knew:
- I'm hoping Toronto gets knocked out. I know this is a strange year, but as good a team as they are, I don't like them as back-to-back champions. Even with the invisible asterisk, I don't like it.
- I'm hoping Houston goes down. That's a hard call, as I don't want Chris Paul to advance. But somehow, it feels right for Houston to go down in flames trying to do their version of smallball.
- In general, I'm hoping the favorites will lose -- the Lakers, the Clippers, the Bucks. If I could have my way, I'd love to see the Nuggets triumph over the Heat in the finals. That would be a fitting end of the COVID playoffs and a reminder that this was NOT a normal year.
Honestly, I won't mind if the Rockets win it all in this asterisk of a season. They still won't have beaten us to get there.
Who had the Rockets winning with Harden having an ass game but making the key defensive play On their BINGO card?
