What's been hidden in this Harden/Houston slump is Russ is actually playing really well.
Problem is genius Pringles goes back to Harden isos in the last even though Russ is killing it.

And if Perkins didn't get hurt in the 2010 Finals, the Celtics probably would have won the ring that year.
It's all hypothetical though, no one knows for sure. It makes for fun speculation, but I still don't believe any championship team should be diminished due to circumstances beyond their control.
100%That 17/18 Rockets team wins game 7 vs GS if CP3 doesn't do his ankle.
Been downhill from that day
100% agree.
Every championship team deserves to be champions.
They won under the circumstances that were presented at the time.
As much as I think the Warriors were better than Toronto last year, that doesn't mean I don't think Toronto are deserved champs.
My point is that you can't really sack a coach that's running with the second best team over a 3 year period.
Russ averaging 35 with only one attempted 3 in his last 4. Surely it hasn't clicked?
I like WB. But he is the system, and he's not good enough.Meanwhile OKC have been surprisingly decent sans Rusty and with CP3.
Hard to say whether the problem is with Westbrook or The Rockets and Pringles system overall though. I suspect the latter myself..
Problem is, and I assume you are talking about D'Antoni, he had highly stacked teams at Phoenix whom he couldn't get them into the finals either.
I get the feeling Pringles might be safer than he deserves to be at this moment in time though, due to the fallout from Morey's tweet about Hong Kong/China.
I have some pretty mixed feelings about Pringles.
I mean losing to the Lakers and SA are hardly embarrassing. They're all time teams. And you wouldn't say the Suns teams were more loaded than them.
They also got pretty unlucky with some suspensions.
I hate the offense that Houston runs, but it can't be argued that it's effective.
That's all there is though, the offense and only plan A of that offense. He's horrible defensively, has no game feel and overplays the same guys at Thibs levels.
Well obviously when I said "second best" I meant Warriors would be number 1.
Toronto were good last year. I personally believe Houston were better than them last year, but can see an argument that people would say Toronto is better.
I mean I think Houston beat the Warriors if Durant misses the whole series, Klay misses a couple and Looney misses games as well. Just like Toronto did.
And the two years before that Houston where >>>>>>>>>>>> Toronto. I mean you're basically saying you think the team that pushed the Warriors to 7 isn't as good as the team that was swept by the team that was swept by the Warriors.
And Houston easily beats Cavs from two years back. That Cavs team was terrible. Forget the fact that the Warriors swept them. It took that Cavs team 7 games to beat a very average Indy team (Indy actually outscored the Cavs by 20 or 30 points over the series). And then it took the Cavs 7 games to beat the Celtics team in the ECF when the Celtics were missing their best player.
LeBron's amazing, but that team was an all time bad team around him.
D-Lo cooking.
I don't even think we need to throw in our first pick for a trade for Simmons.
Hope that is sarcasm because yeah they would need to.
Booker giving the Suns their first win in San Antonio in 7 years! All with a 7 man rotation.
Well we’ve matched our total wins from last season before the end of January so it’s somethingWe had a 16 year drought there once. Ended in 2013. We had a pretty decent run after that. Hopefully you can do the same!
