  Friday should be a good night of hoops. Portland, Charlotte, and Toronto can all close out.

  Reading reports of all the coaches that Houston wants to go after this off season. Who would ever want that job other than a first time had coach looking for a chance?

  He's not good. He's average.

  He's better than Andrew Wiggins. That was the only real argument I remember on here.

  I was SHOCKED by the amount of empty seats last night in Miami. SHOCKED.

  He is better than a lot of players lol.
  
  And yes, S&L, I would probably have him in my top 10. But thats without thinking/research.

  I want no part of Dwight Howard on my team.

  Yeah, when you consider how little Curry played, Houston's showing this year might be one of the worst all-time that I've seen in the playoffs. I mean, Memphis was putrid also, but they at least have the "everyone good is injured" excuse for their performance. Curry played about 1.5 games. Houston went 1-4. Their one win was on a last-second shot. Most of their losses were blowouts. They had legitimate talent on the court. They didn't look like they cared about anything beyond "win one game so it doesn't look TOO embarrassing".

  Is there a worse fan support pro sports town? I think it has to do with half the population being transplants from the north and having rooting interest from prior.

  No, it's because there are so many things to do in Miami! At least that's what I have been told.

  How bad is Harden? Can't even lose by less than double digits against a Curry-less Warriors?

  Went from top 26 to top 27.

  That's being generous actually. He will never win anything.

  Game 2 and Game 3. Loss by 9 and a win.
  
  In their eyes, the problem is clearly the supporting cast and Howard. They will build around Harden. Not saying he can lead them anywhere but he is about the only one to show up after Game 1.

  After leaving OKC for the Rockets, what has Harden accomplished? He's junk, not a superstar, and will never win anything.
  
  I do agree Howard is garbage. That's the Rocket's fault for overpaying for 2 big name players who've never and will never win anything. I'll take Harden off the bench on the Cavs for vets min if he wants to win championships. Harden will always be a bench player, not a starter.
