    People sarcastically say he's GOAT because he sucks so much playing basketball and now he really think he's GOAT.

    I guess he's got the Rockets all figured out. He sees right thru our team. He should use that bball iq and vision to get try getting on the court, or on a team for that matter

    Convinced these guys haven't watched one Rocket game this season & are critiquing the team based off last year's playoff series against the Spurs. The only thing they see is starpower. Hence why they put OKC equal or above us. To them OKC has 3 superstars and we have 2, so they have the advantage based purely off that. Coaching, depth, team chemistry are all irrelevant to these guys smh

    When Roberson was injured the Thunder were 29-20. That's nowhere NEAR the same level as the Rockets, who are currently 30+ games over .500.

    Congrats, BS, you have become ClutchFans' new Always F#$king Wrong poster.

    Oh come on, he just means that he wants to see the Rockets basically win the postseason to prove to him that they're legit. He's still looking at last year's results where the Rockets floundered against the Spurs.

    It’s obvious people care about negative perceptions by anyone who can post on the Internet

    It's easy being the contrarian - it doesn't take any real analysis other than repeating the same BS other haters are saying.

    As @Os Trigonum would put it, it's nothing but a #MediaConspiracy

    Scalabrine: "I'm one of those guys, you have to prove it to me."


    We are 44-13. OKC is 33-26. What is going to take to "prove it to you"?


    "But...But.. Houston has to prove it in the playoffs when it matters. OKC is built for the playoffs."

    We best OKC, in the playoffs, just last year! It wasn't even close. 4-1


    "But..But.. OKC added superstar talent!"

    We added freakin' Chris Paul!


    I am so sick of the media's obsession with OKC and their dismassal of us and flat out misrepresentation of the facts. I can't wait to shut them up in the playoffs.

    Why is it that Houston and Harden's playoffs always get brought up?

    Compare Harden's playoff resume to Westbrook's.

    Westbrook went to the Finals. Sure. On the same team with Harden.

    Westbrook went to the WCF with Durant. Sure. Harden went to the WCF with Howard.

    Everyone talks about how Harden and the Rockets choked in their series against San Antonio last season. Sure. After they smoked Westbrook and OKC.

    This Okc conversation has some validity if you are looking at the Rockets in terms of that Celtics loss. That represented the style of play that got us beat by San Antonio. But this year with Chris Paul and Iso Joe when the game slows down and it becomes a game of good decision making and elite shot making the rockets have a playoff style of play that hasn't shown up yet. The great thing about this disrepect is people wont see it coming. They have been playing Pick an roll basketball strictly a little post play. But now ISO JOE becomes a dominant post threat that demands a double team with shooters all a round. Teams cant game plan for the versatile STYLE OF PLAY that the Rox can give. MDA was never able to do this until now....

    WE GOT EM

    Lol did anyone actually watch/listen to that segment? BS sounds like a guy who had a ten-year career as a blocking tight end in the NFL.. his brain doesn't sound like it's screwed in there very well. A little loose and banging around in that goofy cranium of his. Has anyone ever checked this guy for CTE? Maybe from waving too many towels on the bench that he hit himself in the head a few too many times?
