Kings will be in the top 3 in the West. Keep sleeping on them.
I canโt wait for Rockets to have a 20W &7L record to kick off the season. And then letโs see how these โNBA expertsโ shamelessly apologise and change their view on Rockets in public then.
Rockets gonna kick off the new season like a bucket of ice water pouring on these โNBA expertsโ.โs faces. Welcome to the era of Rockets, folks!
Playing Rockets in the same tier as Spurs is delusional. Rockets gonna win at least 45-50 games this season. Where do you think where Rockets is going to be ranked in the West with that record. How much is OKC better than Rockets, really? My answer is not that much. It was 2:2 tie when the 2 teams met last season
Sengun is way better than Sabonis. Does these NBA analysts even watch Rockets games?
In a competitive western conference, Rockets could realistically beat Suns, Lakers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Warriors and/or Kings in the ranking
This episode is a testament to why every man needs to grow facial hair.
I know okc added defense but did they lose any offense by losing Giddy? If so, is that something they need to address?
Mavs would have demolished nuggets
