    Because he he didn’t take the combine or pro day seriously, why take a chance on him? Has nothing to do with the aggy. 

    I mean did this “Cullen” even get a carry? I’ve literally never heard his name even mentioned ever. I was meaning that more than aggy plus it’s aggy so fuck aggy.

    I hope they don't throw that lineup out against Golden State. It doesn't rebound. Houston can't afford to give up multiple shot possessions to Golden State like they are to Utah.

    Well GS will probably toss out a lineup of draymond at 5, kd at 4, iggy at 3 and then lay and curry. Bogut will play but they run this lineup some so I was just saying they probably went small to give it a look. I agree I would have faried at the 5 against dray instead of tucker.

    I'm pretty sure calling harden a playoff choker dates back to his time with ok against the heat.

    Difference in this year is when Harden had a bad game Houston would lose, they are deeper and play better defense this season.

    Utah and Houston had the 2 best records after the all star break and the Rockets have held them to 90, 98, and 101. None of this means Houston will beat one of the best teams ever assembled in GS, it does show Houston doesn't revolve around Harden having to drop 61 to win.

    I do think it's funny a guy like ztejas says he can "objectively talk about the west" then talk about the spurs 5 titles(like a 9 year old) then say the Utah has had countless chances and they've just blow it even though they were blown out in the first two games which all led to his "the warriors are gonna roll against Houston" after watching the first half of a road game that Houston ends up winning and the warriors have already lost to the clippers at home and is still giving up close to 115ppg. Super objective. lol. 

  4. Great win, kinda surprised the narrative is “oh no the warriors are gonna kill us” after we won on the road in a traditionally tough place to play as Harden struggled basically all game. You would think it would make everyone even the media say “wow houston is way deeper than last season and not all just harden”. But whatever keep shutting up the haters, especially the pussy whiny spurs fans.

    I'm a Spurs fan you aggy-calling cunt bitch. That means my team has 5 titles since the Rockets last hoisted one only because MJ was playing baseball (don't worry, I was alive for all five).

    Beyond that, I'm offering objective takes on the western conference playoffs. Harden just went 3 of 20 in a win. You think that's going to cut it without HCA against the Ws? I stand by my opinion that Golden State is going to rip you a new asshole and that it's going to be like playing against kindergartners for Durant. Your "superstar" has to rely on the opposing team shitting the bed to get bailed out for a game 3 win. KD and Steph are going to murder the Rockets and unfortunately it isn't that entertaining or good for the league but that's the NBA that we are watching. Their only threat is if they can't contain Giannis in the Finals but Giannis is a little green for that spotlight imo.  

    Isn’t it a sign of a good team that wins even when it’s star player has a bad game? You guys that are rocket and harden haters can’t have it both ways. You can’t say the rockets are only good when Harden goes off, you know kinda like when he blew his load for 61 against the spurs, and now move the goal posts to Houston can’t beat the warriors because harden had a bad game. Lol go worry about how you will survive the mighty butt nuggets.

    I agree with you, but hitting instruction is only a piece of the quality hitter persona.  Even on this thread you read about Cody last year.  When Cody came to the plate he was an athlete, what I call approaching the plate with a “presence”.  On our roster now even Pierce’s youngsters, I do not see one example of Presence Athlete.  I’ve watched every UT game on LHN and I generally observe that most Big 12 and SEC teams have better, stronger team overall athleticism than us.  If we ever hope to have an elite level program we have to have not just good solid recruits, but we have to recruit...then develop “elite presence” athletes.

    Seems like it’s been a issue longer than just the last two years. I’d love to have one guy that can hit for average and power like Cody but even last year and previous years we only have one guy maybe two that can hit. I know it’s not just a hitting coach issue or it would be fixed by now. Just odd we continuously have teams that have to rely only on shutout pitching and timely hitting to win games, I can’t wait till the days we have 4-5 guys with over .300 avg and some hr hitters.

  7. It’s the same narrative that the media and even some on here try to establish game to game. The blazers win two games at home(which they are supposed to do) and now the blazers are going to the wcf, the warriors lose one game and they don’t have what it takes to win it all, KD sucks now, blah blah blah. Things change game to game because teams make adjustments then counter adjustments are made. I fully expect the jazz to win tomorrow and the rockets to adjust and win game 4 and go back up 3-1, I won’t be surprised if Denver wins game 4 and ties it up and I won’t be shocked to watch the thunder tie it up with the blazers. Then we get to watch the media move the goal posts back and forth. This happens every single year.

  8. They aren't gonna call the game that leads Houston home in the first round lol. You think the league office wants Utah/GS in a second round series or Houston/GS? That twitter account probably isn't Donaghy and if it is he is really reaching on this one. There are bad calls both ways all the time and while I agree certain refs lean on calling more favorably for one team than another you can't bitch that every call made is a rigging by the refs. I personally watched and just thought they were calling playoff basketball which has ALWAYS been called a certain way that allows it to be more physical.

  9. I can't believe people take any stock in a spring game lol. 

    Herman should just script the first 4 plays and throw hail Mary's for 80 yard td's and tell then CB to act like they are trying but let's excite the crowd. wait, no then surly would melt down about pass coverage and the defense sucks! Damn I didn't think about that. I'll get back to you guys on another way for the perfect Spring Game so we know for certain the upcoming season is a grand slam.
