    It was Rockettes chance this year. They were on a mission, with Beard and Cliff having lots to prove, Kawhard out and the Dubs vulnerable. But you can't be on a mission every year, specially after losing like that.

    They (Morey) sacrificed core players and took a risk on an injury riddled, back end of his prime CP3 that cynically backfired the hard way. Now they're facing another dilemma on resigning Paul for another 5 years and whatever crazy money his agent asks, or letting him go and having nothing to show for their trade.

    Add a few role players asking soon for a bigger payday, and aging roster and no real assets (+ that terrible Ryno contrat) and you can see them getting back in the pack soon. Even Harden getting traded or asking to be.

    Morey was very close to get his ass moved the last couple of years. Another empty year and he could be gone next summer.
    They have one more shot if they resign their free agents. After that, the tax bill will get nasty. They might offload Anderson contract following next season for another bloated disgruntled talent. By that stage, CP3 & Ariza, for example, could be damaged. Their window is still open though.

    You dont think the Rockets wouldve won if they had a healthy CP3 or if the refs didn't blatantly favor the warriors? Admittedly I was cheering against the Rockets but game 7 was obvious and CP3 was balling until of course again a stupid hamstring injury. Sucks for them. Seemed like the best chance they ever had.
    That's the Warriors luck though. They were down 2-1 when Conley went down. They were on the verge of losing game 1 of the finals when Irving broke his knee cap. That first le, they didn't play a single healthy side. We know what happened last season with Leonard, Parker and Lee, but again these playoffs, down 3-2 and CP3 goes down.

    Had their players stopped shooting all those 3s and actually attacked the hoop, they might be playing tomorrow night.....but carry on..
    Thats what they did game 4 & 5. Plus contained the warriors outside game. Dub did the same in turn to the rockets game 6 & moreso in game 7. The only guy that took it inside was Gordon who basically had a layup drill against dubs. Obviously having paul out hurt the rockets & Harden as leader was terrible.

    The point is you gotta have a counter going inside when your outside shots fail.

    Sorry but after watching Frauden quit last year against the Spurs in the PO's
    I'd have traded him ASAP,a loser always... sorry thems the facts
    He quit on his teammates in game 7 of this series too. Tried to do much on offense alone & was back to being lazy on d.

    Went from being better in the "modern era" to just "this year". Don't hurt yourself moving them goalposts.

    I just don't agree that the Rockets are the better organization these days, tbh. The Spurs are obsessed with loyalty to culture scrubs, the Rockets are obsessed with getting as many fake "stars" as possible on their roster. Both teams have handed out bad contracts. Both teams have had recent seasons ruined by dysfunction: the Spurs this year with the Kawhi situation, the Rockets in 2015-16 when they were a complete mess on and off the court and barely made the playoffs. The main difference is that the Spurs have won a ring this decade and the Rockets haven't.

    The rockets lost paul. They were on the way to winning a ring.

    The fact of the matter is that the rockets know modern culture. The spurs dont.
    You can shove that hypothetical bull up your ass. Fact remains the Spurs have won and competed in the Finals during the "modern era," while Daryl Morey, James Harden and D'Antoni haven't even been to one (together).

    So much for all that "success," they are the western conference Indiana Pacers (circa '10 - 14).

    another thing about the rockets is that they really aren't all that exciting to watch. the constant iso of harden where he dribbles for 10 seconds and then takes a step back three is pretty awful basketball and any playoff game where a team misses 27 threes in a row is just abhorrent.

    Ugly basketball. But had they attacked the basket more instead of chucking 3’s they had a better chance. Oh if they played defense too. But that’s not D’Antoni bball. He likes to trade baskets with the best offensive team. Dumb.

    Their culture and philosophy is conducive to consistent winning the in the modern era.

    - Happy Superstars
    - Lots of players that can shoot 3s
    - Lots of players that can defend and 3.

    Their philisophy is modern. Its never about corporate. Its about the players and winning.
    Your whole post is denied by your last phrase. Our team has had better results than that administration no matter which time span you choose other than last year. We have been winning more than the rockets for the last 20, 15, 10, 5, 4, 3 or 2 years. With te only exception being this year.
    You'd better shut the up and hope for your boy to become a men and face that he acted like a little .

    This is a troll thread and op is free to be a fan of any team, but the Spurs would have no doubt loved to have harden Paul and capella. You can't win and get good draft picks, and the Spurs manuevered to get free agent space but had no successes. Other than buying strippers and casting aside that mute traitorous er who purports to be our best player, causes drama and doesn't recruit better players, what more could the Spurs do?

    You used the past though, albeit recent past, then shifted to just this year. Even just this year SA had Kawhi get hurt so it’s skewed.

    This whole kawhi fiasco is also part of the PATFO incompetence. He hasnt been injured for months now. The PATFO have very unrealistic expectaations from their players. Thats part of their incompetence.

    It's easy to say this now, right after the Spurs' biggest dumpster-fire season since pre-Duncan.

    The question is: How will they recover?

    That is how I will evaluate the organization.

    Are you saying he has been doing a medical holdout??? I thought you were on Kawhi's side of this question. You think we should give a supermax to a guy who has quit on the team and his team-mates? Does this not suggest what is called "Character concerns"" to you?

    PS. Expecting a guy who "hasn't been injured for months now" to show up and play when he's being paid $19 Million is "very unrealistic expectations"?
