A bad prediction, as if it's one? Just a couple weeks ago you predicted that Houston will be 15-5 or 14-6 after 20 games. They have 11 losses with 3 games to go. You're consistently wrong, but you don't seem to realize it.

Sorry not me, not Zach Lowe, not Billy Simmons, lots of great basketball minds didn't anticipate a slow start

Did Simmons not say HOU would win the most regular season games this season? Over 60? Yep sure did.
Did Lowe not say he was "this close" to picking Houston to win the whole thing? Yep sure did bubba.
Houston hasn't started as good as most expected, not just me brother. The difference between me and most others is that I'm not overreacting and ready to throw in the towel, ain't a NBA champion in the history of the league been decided in November.

Sure there are circumstances (Heat in 2010-2011; injuries) that can play a role, but a poor team 20 games into a season is likely to be a poor team at the end of the season.

I really thought Lawson joining a winning organization like the Rockets would resurrect his career.

It was IMO HOU prob should've just left well enough alone. Made the WCF without 2 starters you don't have to go out and get Lawson. Let the guys you have play together and get better that way.
Continuity > talent

Can't disregard the impact of Josh Smith as a winner and all-around team unifier...needs to be replaced.

Talent wins in the NBA. HOU has talent it's just a matter of a slow start Bc these guys know these games aren't all that important just like I know it.

because it is?
You won't win a championship without continuity. The big 3 didn't win their first year, the lakers didn't win the year they signed Malone, etc. etc. You can't just throw a team together and win a championship.
I was talking about talent winning regular season games. Talent alone will get wins v most of the teams in the league. To be a chamionship team however continuity > talent
Not the least bit surprised though that you're unable to see the overall theme of a post and try to nitpick like you can catch me twisting my words.

Last night you argued that there is no cause for concern that they are losing REGULAR season games because they are talented and talent WINS in the NBA.
Now talent is less important than continuity in regard to winning a championship.
So if talent wins regular season games, and Houston has talent (most talented according to you), but Houston isn't winning regular season games, then why aren't you concerned?
So the TALENT is not producing, and they lack the necessary "continuity." Sounds like they have some issues.

And the schedule only gets less favorable so they would have to improve that much more.

Let's be honest HOU won 56 games last season with no D12 for half the season plus a myriad of other injuries. Even if the schedule gets tougher on paper that doesn't mean a whole lot. If one team plays the Lakers and one plays the 6ers does one team really have an advantage over the other? Eben though SOS says so? No both opponents suck. When HOU hits they stride it doesn't matter if they're playing a .500 team or a .400 team HOU will be easily better than the opponent so I don't really fret much over SOS.

All of a sudden they are going to make up those 7 points, against tougher teams, on the road? And do it easily.
You are beyond delusional in your overconfidence.

Look at Lakers or the 6ers.. the Lakers have a better win % but are they a tougher opponent than the 6ers? Not necessarily. Just bc a team has a better win % doesn't mean that they are more difficult to win against. Grade school common sense IMO. A tougher SOS doesn't automatically mean tougher games to win, especially a SOS based off less than 1/4 of the season.
