Rockets Or Spurs Out West?

[Johnny RIngo]

As long as Lin is starting for the Rockets, Spurs easy. Until Houston realizes he's garbage, I'm not ready to consider them a contender

for some reason i really prefer it when the spurs are dismissed or not talked about being favorites. i feel jinxed already

The acquisition of Dwight Howard by the Rockets means 2 things essentially: that the Rockets will sell a lot of tickets, jerseys, etc. and increase their revenue immensely; AND that they won't win an NBA championship while he's a Rocket (unless he changes dramatically).

Dwight Howard is a dominant center but in order to win playoff basketball, you've got to be in the game in the last minutes to be an impact. Dwight can't shoot FTs, fouls a lot and is generally weak minded when it comes to leading a team in tough times. IF the Rockets go far in the West, it will be because of Harden and Parsons.

I vote New Orleans Pelicans

Rockets clearly improved, but they aren't on the Spurs' level YET. Keyword, yet.

LMAO. OKC won 60+ games last year and were the #1 seed in the West. When a guy like Westbrook goes down...so does your chance at a le. And the Rockets add the best big man in the NBA and people think they will only get slightly better. Classic.

Yeah, But Westbrook is a dynamic player that doesn't every 10 seconds. WE all witness the breakdown that this so call best bigman in the league had in getting swept by the Spurs this year. Howard is an immature idiot. Dude, when you say that someone throwing a jersey in your face hurts you emotionally (not to mention you still remember it and say in an interview), you know you are mentally weak. There are two types of IQ the military evaluates people, Intelligent and Emotional IQ. Howard has an emotional IQ of like 10.
