re: TNT listed Games 5, 6, and 7 of the Rockets/Warriors series as (Not Necessary)

Right ... and those handful of teams would likely have two Superstars...like the Rockets supposedly do ... except, in reality, they don't. The Rockets have a scoring machine when he's on who couldn't or wouldn't guard my Grandma ... and an overpaid gimpy supreme waste of talent lazy cancer.

I don't think anyone here, even Rockets fans, would say Dwight Howard is a superstar. He's not even a star at this point.

He's an average center.

He's declined a lot over the past 2 seasons, but especially this season.


The Rockets were expected to do big things IF they had Harden, star player Dwight Howard, and borderline all-star Ty Lawson.

Well, Dwight has fallen off big-time this season and Ty Lawson looks like he's not even good enough to be in the NBA.

That leaves the Rockets with 1 star player in Harden. Westbrook didn't make the playoffs last season with himself as the only star player for most of the year.

It's not surprising the Rockets are an average team, even if you remove the supposed dysfunction.
