We need a 13 in 33 TMac!
Well, James the big-behind-lover has given up this game long time ago. It ain't happening this year.
It was a successful year considering the circumstances. Rockets need to look at their roster carefully in the off season, after the emotion is cooled down.
They definitely need to address the PF and PG positions. D-Mo is nice, but you need another reliable veteran who can rebound and shot a jumper at decent clip. TJ should be gone for a bag of potato chips, and I am willing to do with a plain one without any spice/flavor. PB will be back, but he's no starting material, they need to have someone who can control the pace and shoot, with a solid defensive mind.
Howard's time is almost over. Les needs to open his pocket and pay some luxury tax, if he still wants to smell the taste of the ultimate success with H + H.
Smith can be kept for a reasonable price, and so is Brewer. Terry can also be had for the cheap, as some veteran assurance. But you can't play him major minutes and you can't rely on him. Prggs needs to go, immediately. Capela is a good kid with potential, but boy, he needs to sleep with a ball and practice shooting even when he goes to the toilette.
McHale, he's there to stay, what can you do? My only hope is, that Rockets get some real veteran leadership to translate that "let's play harder" moto into games. There are lots of mental midgets on this team, led by James Harden. What a shame, what god-given talent. He needs someone to lead him to become a better player.
WCF is not shaby at all, just the way they lost the first 3 games were a bit hard to swallow. Tomorrow is another day.
Congrats to the Warriors. They are a very good and deep team. I would probably pick the Cavs in 7, but given my record, Warriors fans might love me for this.
Curry is not my cup of tea as a basketball player, but great players are special in their own ways. Although Harden's stats are better, Curry has shown more mental toughness than James did, especially in the playoffs. A great season for Curry and his team, now it's the showdown between LBJ and Curry, but the real X-factor for the series would be Green and JR.
Let's hope for an exciting series. May the better team win.
