@ slick shoes	:	(28 April 2017 - 04:53 PM) Wow, Larry Bird steps down as president of the Pacers. What a dumpster fire that organization is.
@ thejohnnygold	:	(27 April 2017 - 08:50 PM) I think Steph Curry and Kevin Durant would both say, "yes". That is largely how they got their MVP's
@ rocketrick	:	(27 April 2017 - 02:48 PM) So should MVP consideration also be based on Efficiency and not just DD's and TD's?
@ rocketrick	:	(27 April 2017 - 02:47 PM) Looking Forward to Round 2, Western Conf Semi-Finals, Most Likely vs. Spurs.
@ thejohnnygold	:	(23 April 2017 - 10:20 PM) "Pheeeeew!" --(Every Rockets fan today)
@ rocketrick	:	(20 April 2017 - 04:28 PM) Incredible Atmosphere at Toyota Center last night! Rockets are for Real people.....
@ thejohnnygold	:	(17 April 2017 - 12:47 PM) The defense was there too. All in all, a good win.
@ Mario Peña	:	(17 April 2017 - 04:08 AM) I like that effort on the boards tonight and second chance points tonight. I hope they can finish OKC in 5 or less.
@ DenverRocket	:	(05 April 2017 - 07:15 PM) Give me a shout and if I'm around, I'll be happy to honor my commitment!
@ slick shoes	:	(05 April 2017 - 06:34 PM) I'll be in Denver Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend
@ DenverRocket	:	(05 April 2017 - 04:52 PM) Oh and congrats to @SlickShoes on winning the bracket challenge handily If I ever meet you, I'll buy you a beer!

@ thejohnnygold	:	(31 March 2017 - 04:19 PM) Probably...mine's toast.
@ slick shoes	:	(31 March 2017 - 02:12 PM) Is it safe to assume I have taken the bracket challenge??
@ thejohnnygold	:	(15 March 2017 - 12:58 PM) I'm in!
@ DenverRocket	:	(15 March 2017 - 02:12 AM) You can join my not knowing anything club! :-)
@ slick shoes	:	(15 March 2017 - 01:34 AM) I filled one out. I don't know anything about college ball so everything was gut feel. wish me luck!
@ DenverRocket	:	(15 March 2017 - 12:06 AM) If anyone is interested in joining a Red94 bracket challenge, I've set one up here: http://games.espn.co...groupID=1517203
@ slick shoes	:	(14 March 2017 - 02:48 PM) As much fun as it is to watch the Warriors lose, I'm gonna need them to go ahead and take 1st place again so that we can potentially avoid them until the WCF.
@ SadLakerFan	:	(13 March 2017 - 02:24 PM) My Lakers coming into town. Hope Bev can cover our SG of the future David Nwaba. He's lighting it up.

Do the Rockets need anybody else to win the title?

Whoever plays with Denver has their work cut out for them. It's not going to be your typical 4-0/4-1 for the #1 seed I think. It's boing to be a really intriguing matchup.

I know! It took them a while, but they have made huge strides. I think they have the personnel to give GS a run for their money. Chandler, Murray, Harris, Barton, and Nelson can shoot and defend the outside. Meanwhile, Jokic, Plumlee, and Fareid can punish them inside. If I were Kerr, I'd try very hard for the #2 seed. Added bonus of that is you avoid the winner of the Clippers/Jazz match-up...which I also think is going to be very good.

Given the option of Memphis/OKC in round 1 and (presumably) Houston in round 2 or Denver and then LAC/Utah I think I would take the former. Am I crazy?
