It isn't like they actually returned the same team. And they'll likely be worse next year than this year (unless they want to start paying tax, which them seem to be trying hard to avoid). Austin Rivers is likely gone after this year (and I'm not saying he's a great player, but he's a reasonable bench piece) to be replaced by a rookie or on a vet min contract.

They have choked bad the last 2 years against the warriors, but they probably beat every other team in the league they are a bit ****ed moving forward though, CP3 is aging rapidly Edited May 11, 2019 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Put bluntly, the Rockets offense is poorly built for the postseason and Dantoni is a middling coach...at best. I expect some significant changes for them in the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect some significant changes for them in the offseason. They gotta be trying to trade CP3 asap. Beyond that, they don't have a lot of flexibility unless they decide to move the Beard and do a complete transformation. I think it goes beyond their offense. It's their two stars flopping mindset. When CP3 quit trying to flop around yesterday, he was still getting shots he wanted. The Rockets need their stars to have a tougher mindset instead of trying to sell calls all the time.

On top of that, Morey will probably send a 1000 word essay on all the blown calls of this game 6 to the NBA's offices again too.

They have choked bad the last 2 years against the warriors, but they probably beat every other team in the league Last year, I agree they probably would have beat anyone else. But not this year. I don't think they are as good as Milwaukee, Denver, or Toronto. They couldn't play good enough defense this year, whereas last year they were 6th in DRtg. Philly is proving to be a pretty good and balanced team too. I'm not sure this Houston team beats them if Embiid is healthy in that series. One of the cool things about this postseason is that it has made the case that the regular season matters now. The bracket has been chalk by record and the best teams of the regular season have shown their quality and balance. This is the future of a league where the superstar players are better dispersed. Defense and regular season competitiveness will matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMP Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 The big thing for the Rockets is their owners. If they were willing pay the tax this year, that could have been a different team this year. Morey can't do anything about how much money the owners are willing to spend. (And I've been saying CP3 was slowing down since he was still a Clipper. It isn't like his decline was just this year. He's not been the defensive player he was those early years for ~4 years.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still would result in a first round sweep by the Nuggets. lol Speaking of CP3 and trade though... I did not know, or forgot, that the Rockets trade for CP3 included Lou Will, Beverly and Montrezl Harrell. I know hindsight is 20/20, but that's exactly the three players they need to beat the Warriors. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
