Lol. Clearly I was being satirical. Still, your team has the two most overrated players of this decade. Dwight Howard was the best player at his position at a time when the next best guy was Jermaine O'neal.... James Harden is the best player at his position (arguably) at a time when the next best player is Klay Thompson. This is why the Rockets still kinda suck even though they have two of the best players at their position. You guys won't win a ship. Deep down inside you know that.

NBA GMs will agree with me when I say this, D12 is the best center in the NBA now.

A great season for the Pels would be one that you guys win 10 less games than Houston won last year, yet HOU kinda sucks? Newsflash bro, in the last 31 years the Rockets have had a grand total of 3 losing seasons. Wanna guess how many teams have less losing seasons than Houston over that time frame? What if I told you the answer was O.

Those same GM's voted that Anthony Davis is the fifth best center for this season.

When the fifth best center in the league is a power forward, what does that say about the center position?

Congratulations, you won the special olympics.

Really? Ok, If you have the two best players at their positions (according to NBA GM's), and they are not both extremely overrated, how did the Rockets lose to Portland? I agree they are arguably the best players at their position (I'm personally taking Noah over Dwight) - I'm just saying all the other players at their positions suck. Thus, in a vacuums of pure NBA talent, Dwight and Harden are not really as good as they appear. Having either the best PF/PG/SF in the league (>>) means a lot more than having the best C or SG.

As a result, you guys kinda suck. Not saying you will have a bad record. I'm saying compared to your perceived talent - you suck, and will continue to suck.

says nothing other than 1 GM considers Davis a center.

IDK how did the OKC lose to Spurs? Doesn't OKC have 2 top ten players? and the Spurs have zero? IS OKC Overrated? Is Durant overrated? Maybe you don't watch enough NBA ball to know that it's a team game and in certain situations matchups mean more than talent. Coaching also plays a factor.

Portland <<<<<<<<<<< Spurs. Stop brother. Using the Spurs as an example for anything is dumb. Anyone who watches the NBA knows that. They have POP and OKC has Scott Brooks. That is how that happened. You silly goose.

Right and the Rockets beat Spurs all 4 times they played last year. Kinda helps to prove my point about matchups being important but I guess you were too caught up in being an idiot to realize it.

Strongest position in the league: PF

Best PF in the league: AD

AD >> Dwight

Shaq has been right all along about the Howard. Impersonating.

Or you could just pick asses at random up which to shove your head. Denial is a stage of grieving you'll get past at your own pace.
