Also Rockets basketball is not fun to watch even when it works. I play a lot of NBA 2K and it's almost exactly how meta 5v5 teams play :D. | ||

If he follows the trend of every other player his size he will continue to decline again next year. The Chris Paul deal is a bad contract for the Houston Rockets. It is a "poison pill" so to speak. | ||

Shrug There was a guy on here saying players that are under 6'2" don't start declining at some "magical age". The historical data indicates otherwise. Now that its over we can say this: as has happened with every other small player in the history of the NBA Chris Paul's performance declined substantially at age 33 and 34. Lowry is in a similar position as Paul. His performance has also declined substantially. | ||

I mean this is what makes the GSW so damn scary even right now is Harden better than Curry? Is Paul better than Klay? Is Capela better than Draymond? They have 3 possible Max players while missing 1 for sure max and another possible one in Boogie. I do like your resilience in going back to that theory. The first time it game what was about how bad the Lowry and other signings were and how George Hill was the best signing. Now props to George Hill for a couple of decent games off the bench for the bucks last series. But come-on man. I mean everyone declines, and almost every player who is good gets overpaid at the end of their career, which is sort of a circle of life because they are always "under paid" at the start. Hou not winning is OK in my book because I agree with Zenith I do not enjoy watching them play. That Den vs Por series is SUCH A BETTER watch. I'll be cheering hard for either of those teams to take them down and if they cannot I'll be cheering for who ever comes out of the east (likely the Greek Freak). The Bonus of a super team, when they have shown cracks in the armor is it is fun to cheer against them! | ||

The question is if the mishandling of this search will it damage their attempt at signing a major FA. If this year taught us anything it is that Lebron can not carry the lakers. Is it his age or being in the west or both? The Lakers still have LA but I believe based on ownership and talent the clippers are more attractive. Im not sure being in Lebrons shadow was ever that attractive but now that it is proven that he cant do kt alone. My bold prediction is they miss out on the top tier and have to take that second tier of eother not quite as good or riskier like Boogie.

On a different note and those second tier of free agents what is people thoughts of Rozier? Think he can be a impact starter? Put up big numbers on a bad team? Going to grow into a all star? | ||

Everyone in Canada could watch the game. It wouldn't add 1 viewer to the TNT/ESPN/ABC ratings. That is why they put the Raptors on during lousy times. When the Raptors are in a playoff game its a 1 city game for the national us broadcaster. | ||
