What's the Houston ceiling this season with Dwight?

[ElNono]

Now that he doesn't have to carry a bunch of has-been, tbh... proverbial #2 seed?

[lefty]

4th-5th seed imo

[Michael Jordan.]

4th seed probably

[jeebus]

Well they won't win the division, so I'd say 5th or 6th seed

[Axegrinder]

4th seed

[spurraider21]

I have them as a top 3 seed along with SA and OKC. They're better than Clips, Dubs, Grizz in my eyes

[lefty]

Dwight's seed

[Brazil]

I dunno you seem to sell them short tbh

Harden is a clever dude, he became kind of a chucker last season because he had no option. He had no issue to defer to Durant, I believe he will clever enough to play on Howard's strenghts and take over when needed. During RS Howard is not the liability he is in POs, opponents usually don't hack a howard during RS.

I see them better than Clips with Spurs (if Duncan is still capable to play at high level), OKC

[OKC]

Houston was going to be fairly dangerous with Howard. I'll be a skeptic of any team that starts Dwight Howard until I'm proven wrong. The guy has the mindset of a 12 year old girl and unless he learns to be a man, he'll bring down any team he's on.

[Arnold Toht]

They're already the West Champions.

ok, you say that, but take any NBA team, add Dwight Howard, and they'll improve.

I didn't see Howard bringing down Orlando tbh
Also even if he had a tough start with the lakeshow, his second part of the season has been solid, not totally his fault Pringles and Kirby didn't know how to use him

[OKC]

True, and I'm sure he always does improve a team to a certain degree so I guess its wrong of me to say he, by himself, is bringing a team down, but I just think the guy acts so damn juvenile and can be more of a hinderance at times than anything else.

[Brazil]

what about your Lakers swept by my Spurs ?

[elmanutres]

They're already the West Champions.
:lol same fan of a team that said they were champs before a season started.

[Clipper Nation]

5th seed, 2nd round.... lack of chemistry and mediocre coaching will be their downfall, tbh....

[Holden_Caulfield]

2011-2012 Los Angeles Clippers

[Katherine Robinson]

Harden - Howard isn't significantly better than Paul - Blake, if even better at all. I believe the Houston Rockets will need a significant addition to make use of Howard's diminishing prime. As it stands, they are a good team with no direction - identical to the Clippers in this respect.

[spurraider21]

If that doughnut montejunas guy can actually contribute in any way whatsoever Houston looks more legit. the power forward spot is a clear weakness there, which is why they are desperate enough to even discuss Dwight at the 4

[Leetonidas]

If they can manage to snag a decent PF with a good midrange game or a stretch 4 I think they'll be pretty scary, until then I have them 4th behind SA, OKC, and LAC

[Leetonidas]

Lakers were much more shitty in 2013 than the previous year imo

[spurraider21]

what was their record without dwight last year? and keep in mind he was replacing bynum after his best season

[Kool Bob Love]

Season is a failure if they don't ring in 2014.

[Katherine Robinson]

Season is a failure if they don't ring in 2014.

I would say 2015 is what the Rockets are aiming for.

[Leon Black]

I would say 2015 is what the Rockets are aiming for.

shut up faggot

[whitemamba]

I would say 4-5th seed imho, most likely 4th, they need some time to gel, if they do, that team could be dangerous.

[AchillesHeel]

3-4 seed, tbh. A dark horse for the Finals, would match up well with the Heat if D12 is back to his 20-14 days, tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

2nd as in 2nd last
