streaky, Rockets cant hold their own vs deepers teams. they need a trade for a true SF.

KG will never be traded for 2 reasons

1) He has a no trade clause, any deal he would have to approve. KG is a different breed, hes not "ring chasing" like Ray Allen, Juan Howard, and all those guys are doing. He wants to win his way, with heart and pride, not the easy way out. KG BLEEDS celtic green, hes going nowhere

2) Clippers can get MUCH better deal than 37 year old overpaid garnett for Bledsoe and Butler. Bledsoe will be a hot commodity , Butler is injury prone and streaky. Bledsoe is their ticket, and right now with CP3 being hurt, i dont see them trading him away.

Clippers will have issues in the half court set like they always do especially without CP3. The game slows down, they are NOT a good halfcourt team. Crawford has cooled down as i said he would. The bust has been DJ, hes really slowed down after the first 20 games. He has to be much more effective for them to go DEEP into the playoffs. Blake Griffin will not cut it and CP3 cant do it on his own.

Yea the garnett trade isn't what they need. If they were going to do anything, trying to get Rudy Gay is what I thought they should do. SF is their weakpoint, and having someone tall and athletic to ATTEMPT to counter Durant when they run into him is what I thought they would shoot for.

Last year their problem was DEPTH, the half court with paul will sort itself out. Without Paul they are nothing anyway, no need to even speak as if they don't have them. Whoever they play in the playoffs, without Paul they will be going home.

Now you see why I say Paul should've been considered #1 on the MVP list at the time. Without him his team isn't even a playoff team. EVERY other superstar in the NBA, if you take them off of their team..... they are STILL a playoff team. DJ just needs to defend and rebound, IDK how you consider him a bust. He does EXACTLY what he needs to do, IMO. Blake Griffin goes as CP3 isn't in the lineup, people overlook the fact that chris makes EVERYONE on the team better. The reason you say DJ has fell off is because chris hasn't been in the lineup to get him the easy shots he was getting before, same goes for blake, caron, crawford, etc......

so the rockets score 140 points tonight.....

Imagine if they were in the Eastern Conference..... top 6 seed in the east???

streaky, Rockets cant hold their own vs deepers teams. they need a trade for a true SF.

I agree they are streaky..... but they can beat anyone in the NBA on any given night, don't forget what Harden did in the playoffs last year. I can tell you this, the Eastern Conference is VERY lucky a lot of the lower seeded western conference teams aren't in the East.

Top 6 seed if they were in the East?
