    it's just amazing to me the reactionary posts you get when it comes to sports. durant and the warriors stacked the deck so much in their favor on july 4th, 2016 that people were saying they'd win

    Start talking shit now! This team blows dick!  

pretty funny that he sucked so bad on shaggy that he had to create a fresh handle here and within a month he's already known as a shit poster.

I think the Rockets need Green to get some run here, little to no bench scoring.

How big of a bust is exum? He’s terrible.

Blew out his knee last year.

eric gordon has been awful today.

And the Rockets are actively trying to lose this game.

What the fuck was your handle on shaggy? You’re the worst poster hete by far as witnessed by your neg rep.

except that I'm right so often it pisses off the masses. Utah was widely acclaimed as a top 5 team on other threads by self proclaimed basketball gods who were wrong.

Along with the rest of the bench as well. It's why you build depth. Green should be eating some of Gordon's minutes right now.

Tired of all of these turnovers. CP3 has been really careless with the ball the last 10 minutes

exum is still only 22.

Yea and do you see anything that makes you think he’s a top lottery pick? He isn’t very good or even shown he’s capable.

except that Utah isn't a top 5 team as you said, as did others. So try to debate the point instead of your childlike arguments.

Still can't believe that Capela is not getting more love for most improved player. Oladipo was already a good player before backsliding in his 1 season in OKC.

Gordon's biggest contribution of the game right there. Accidently stepping on the back of Mitchell's leg. Glad the kid isn't seriously hurt.

He started rolling his ankle before Gordon stepped on him.

Harden doing the same thing he did in game one of the Minnesota series.

This was also crowder second highest point output in the last 12-13 games. This ain’t his norm and they are still down 15.

If Rubio is healthy,  name teams you'd rank ahead of Utah

Golden state, Cleveland, Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia, houston. 

If all of those teams are healthy.

Philly and Utah would be a very good series. The other 4 teams completely healthy are just on another level than Utah.

The Rockets have the Full Bird exception on Ariza and Capela(played for the Rockets at least 3 years consecutive years), and Paul who's Bird's rights were transferred to the Rockets in the trade with the Clippers. So the Rockets can exceed the cap to resign them at a contract starting at the maximum. For Capela that is 25% of the cap, for Ariza and Paul 35%. 

The Rockets have the Non-Bird rights to Luc and Green. Meaning they can sign them to a 4 year deal starting at 120% of their previous contract or 120% of the league's minimum salary, whichever is greater. Though I'm not completely sure if they can exceed the cap to do it. There is nothing I've read that says definitely one way or the other.

Needless to say, it's very likely that the entire team is going to be brought back next year.

Still too early to think about it but hopefully CP3 compromise on a contract less the 5 year max 🤤. There are other teams that would fit him and have the cap space (76ers and Lakers?) so Harden will need to cozy up.  As for Capela, I'm sure Cuban is ready to pounce with a max offer typed up and champagne on ice at the club.

you think Clevelands better than Utah?

 

I think Philly & Boston are the only teams  in the east better than Utah. Id flip a coin if it was Toronto/Cleveland in a game 7 series. GS/Houston in the west.

boston isn't healthy and won't be again this year so i don't see why that matters for this discussion.

lebron is lebron, but after him how many players on his team would you take over the utah counterpart? i'm definitely taking gobert, mitchell and rubio over kevin love, jr smith and george hill.

philly looks like world beaters right now, but let's see how they look against a legit upper echelon team before we go too far on them too quickly (that probably won't happen until the conference finals though).

even if you concede that all 3 of those teams are better than utah (i do not), that puts them as the #7 team in the league.  they are a really good team and i can't believe there are people who have a problem with saying that.

I'm pretty sure he's "neverwenttoUT" from the old board because he said he Kobe won an Oscar for acting. Only a delusional Lakers fan could come to that conclusion, and suck as a poster. We didn't have too many that did both on Shaggy.

Remember all that “serious overrating of Capela” in thoff-season thread? And we were all blind homers for not wanting to trade Capela for one year of Playoff P?

does that thread still exist on shaggy?  i might go dig that one up for some lulz.

nice find.  

i read the first 7 pages and it's mostly just neverwent (who has always been full of anti-capela/houston takes) trashing capela with some gems like this:

Quote

With CP3 and Harden as your guards you're going to need a better defensive big man or the Rockets defense will be Swiss cheese especially if Ariza is moved. Capella is good on the pnr but he is a minus on the defensive end unless he has made strides since last year.

Yea the one I watched played in more games than just the Spur series. Guy averaged a block a game one I am willing to bet has been stagnant over his career thus far, he doesn't rebound all that well, and no one is afraid of Clint Capela in the middle of the paint. There is a reason even Mike 'Antoni only played him roughly 20 minutes a game despite how good he was on the PnR with Harden. I do expect his block number to increase to almost 2 a game because he is going to get challenged a lot more without Beverly on the perimeter. But besides being fans of the Rockets I really don't get this love affair with Capela, I mean outside of his pick n roll offense what do you have?

I put IF in my post, not sure IF you caught the word IF. Secondly, Utah beat okc who blows ass and now wants to act like they are legit contenders. Being #7 in the league is fine to say but let's be honest, in the West there is Houston and Golden St and a pretty massive gap to the #3. and the same #3 who got swept by New Orleans who was #6. If you wanna be really honest then say Minnesota would have never even dropped to #8 had Butler gotten hurt. I've said this many times, seeds 3-8 in the West is separated by 1/2 games and when those teams play each other they will be good series. Houston and GS are showing how large of a gap there is between the two teams.

Holy shit! Were you at that game at Erwin with the chick screaming PJ out the entire game? Even when he was shooting FTs.

Bullshit. People keep thinking Minnesota is a bad team. Had Butler been healthy they would have been a Top 4 seed. They went 8-9 without him after being  40-30 before he got hurt.  They finished 1 game behind Utah, but were even in the HTH and had the same conference record. In fact Minnesota, Utah, and Golden State all tied for the 2nd best conference record.

So many people don't understand the power of the reverse double jinx.  Did anyone see the outcome of the Jazz collapse against the Thunder shortly after I posted this?  That same exact collapse which then forced them to play Game 6 back in Utah and then come into the TC with tired legs and get run out of the gym in the first half on Sunday?  I assume you guys at least saw the fact that after I made that post Minnesota never threatened again.

no one said that

Steph is back and GS beat a mediocre team by 5, so now they're the clear favorites again, per Stephen A.  Just fyi.  Don't get your hopes up.

Unfortunate for fans who paid good money hoping the Rockets would be headlining this event.
