So y'all got 14 million to spend. That's not a lot in today's day and age. You think y'all are going to convince a player better than Ryan Anderson to come over and make 6 million a year less than him?
i don't know what is going to happen. You were making it out to be grim but it is a ready-made top 5 seed team with a little money to play with. That could also dive into some luxury tax spending.

I firmly believe that reason is Robert Horry.

It is a big improvement. They were able to avoid GS by being better in the regular season.
If other teams could have done it, they would have. But they weren't good enough to get the 3 spot. The Rockets earned their spot.

Anybody that follows the NBA playoffs consistently would know not to jump to conclusions based on one game.

I think the Nene injury was big. He is the Rockets only actual big guy down low and was having a great playoffs.
I think it was much bigger than the Spurs losing Tony Parker because the Rockets really needed Nene due to the match-up.
Tony Parker wasn't playing great and there wasn't a match-up need like with Nene.

That strikes me as results-oriented analysis ex post facto. I think losing a starter trumps losing a role player. The other point is Nene is always hurt. If you're relying on him, you need a better plan.

Mocking an executive who put together the 3rd best team in the L record wise that just lost to the 2nd best team is plain fricking troll
Even funnier considering he's a Pels fan and Morey's left nut is a better executive than dell demps.

You're not good at reading a thread either.

no doubt
incredible regular season they had
incredible year by harden, and by their coaching staff
houton's offense this year was thrilling and exciting and their defense was miles better than anyone thought it would be. they draft well, trade well, and train well
they are better than and better off than all but 3 or 4 other teams
that said, james harden is extremely unlikable to fans of other teams, and this schadenfreude is glorious

That's not true. He was our 2nd leading scorer in the Memphis series and was having himself a game vs. y'all in game two when he went down. Yeah he'd lost a step, but he was balling and it was a significant blow when he went down. No one is better at getting SA in and out of our offensive sets.
Not going to compare it to the Nene injury for y'all (you'd know his impact on your team better than I would), but saying Parker wasn't playing great is incorrect, IMO.

I think Harden is a fantastic talent. I absolutely hate his game, though. The stilted, foul-fests he creates make games unwatchable. That said, he's incredibly effective and a tremendous player. I just hope his style doesn't produce a championship because I don't want to see an entire league engaging in that bullshite.

I mean, he wasn't 2012 Tony Parker, but he was the 2nd best player on the Spurs when he went down.

He just didn't start due to the line-up. And in the regular season they wanted to keep his minutes down so he was fresh for the playoffs.

I think in my last two decades of watching NBA basketball, he is my least favorite player to watch. That's not saying that he isn't an amazing talent. But his style of play is just insufferable.

It was bigger because the Rockets aren't very deep.

Nene: 16.7 MPG in first 3 games
Capela: 27.3 MPG in first 3 games
Gordon: 32 MPG in the series
Bev: 31.2 MPG in the series
if we're talking regular season and first series, sure. but to start this series capela was dominating.

Yeah, preseason when all the geniuses here predicted the Rockets would suck with Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson. Morey didn't think so.
That's a big difference, and they weren't any better than they were in New Orleans; however, they were able to play in more games this season, about 15 more games than the average of the last two seasons.
In addition, compared to last year: they combined for 3 fewer minutes and their combined usage percentage was 5% lower. so when they did play, they used 7% fewer possessions this year.
So despite their quality remaining similar, they are able to contribute in significantly more games, and in those games, they carried a lesser workload.
