Pels are average by any and all measurements.


8th in the league in offensive efficiency and my favorite stat-2nd in the league in assists per game.

Again, we are inconsistent but you have tangible stats that say we are a bit better than average.

a win is a win close or not, yes if we win by 1 or 2 im sure the pels fans will troll, but thats life, what a world when you can troll fans of great basketball teams bc your mediocre team lost by less than expected.

Thats' great and all, even all the irrelevant stuff you just posted, which is 99% of your posts.

But PrimeTime was being disingenuous as there's no way he expects or would not be at all surprised if it were a 2-3 point game.

Y'all are setting the bar low so that if the Rockets win you can brush it off as no biggie and if the Rockets lose or it was close the shite posting can go to the next level.

Or we're considering that the Pels are a team that just lost to the Kings at home and the Rockets are shitting all over their schedule right now. Also, the Rockets' strengths play into some of the Pels' biggest weaknesses.

It's pretty funny how obsessed Rox fans are with the lowly pels.

You take shots at the Pels constantly.

Dabigfella has posted this "Clint Capela for Anthony Davis and two firsts" bullshite like 3 times in 16 hours.

A number of you love to troll Pels fans as much as you possibly can.

No I wouldn't. The Rockets are playing great but they aren't invincible. I don't expect the Rockets to blow them out. I'll say Rockets win by 8.

We only mention the pelicans when they are brought up by others. they are pretty close to ireelevant in a league wide scale.

Not true at all. The Rockets and Pelicans usually play pretty close games even when the Rockets have been much better than them record-wise. I think there was one huge blowout and the rest of the games have been pretty close the past several years.

So no, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a close game.

I like the Rockets by about 15. The line as of this morning was 13, I think.

Bottom line is that the Pels don't defend enough. They'd need everyone on the Rockets to go ice cold to have a shot. Last night the Pels' offense was rolling and they still managed to give up 40 in the third to the Sixers and blow an 11 point halftime lead.

No lead is safe for the Pels due to how poorly they defend at times and how they manage to completely abandon all forms of ball movement for quarters at a time.

The rockets: the team of former new orleans players playing with james harden.

Just to clarify for those new to the "we" bullshite.

Also, you go out of your way to call the Pels mediocre or irrelevant. PTM posts about the Rockets all the time and he isn't a cock about it. Maybe you should give it a shot.

Season by season:

2016:

Rockets by 22
Rockets by 30
Pelicans by 16
Rockets by 10

2015:

Rockets by 7
Pelicans by 2
Rockets by 1
Rockets by 5

2014:

Pelicans by 9
Pelicans by 28
Rockets by 2
Rockets by 7

2013:

Rockets by 9
Rockets by 3
Rockets by 7
Pelicans by 5



So 12 of the 16 games over the past four seasons have been decided by 10 points or less.

Clear lesson in the value of culture. Houston has a winning culture. Pels dont. Makes all the difference in the world.

rarely bring up the Pels. Unless they are being overrated. Same with grizz and spurs. People swore up n down B was obsessed with and hate grizz and spurs. but I got a handful of post about both teams all year. Why? Bc their fanbase ain’t around here yapping about how good they are and overrating them. I’m a set the record straight guy remember.

3 losing seasons in damn near 35 years. If that’s not a winning culture I don’t have an idea what one is. The worse imaginable year for Houston is a 41-41 season. That’s what we had a few years ago when coach Kevin got run after 10 games.
