The Ringer: The Houston Rockets Are a Massive Playoff Threat

Could it be the owner? the factor nobody is talking about
could there be lucrative incentives for Green and McLemore who were basically trending downward until Morey scooped them up for cheap

 

I'm sure they have to change the story there is success so else the listeners will get confused

 

Chris Vernon sounds like he is 65, in his voice and with his old school adherence to the eye test. They chose well to contrast him with KOC, their best analyst who is probably the only one at the Ringer who actually watches the games and forms his own opinions outside of the hype and the contrived 'narratives' self-perpetuated by the media. Basically, whenever it's been about projecting forward and having an "argument" about any topic in basketball, KOC racks up wins and Vernon just has a nonstop layup line of big fat L's. It's intended that way, except just like in all other punditry (see, Skip Bayless, Kellerman, SAS, Cowherd), there is no consequence to losing. It's not like they actually have to eat all the **** they keep talking.

 

I totally agree with this- or someone experienced associated from this website needs to, its about time.

Sure miss the DD Video cast days, those were excellent, classic (not to mention-Gulf Oil Spill solution- priceless)

 

He came after me first when tinman DM'ed his lynch mob to run me off CF a few days ago.

Just giving as well as I'm getting.

We used to be cool, he reached out to me just a week before so not sure why he started targeting me with animus.

 

Weird. You're just too positive and uplifting during a depression I guess. Srry bro

 

This was a perfectly good internet fight brewing til you threw water over the flames.

 

KOC and Tjarks are their best NBA analyst even if Tjarks is a Dallas homer.

 

Also, I think Chris Vernon just gets triggered by the sight/mention of Harden because the Grizzlies could have picked Harden but picked Thabeet instead.

More like Piss Vermin

 

I don't know who Vernon is but, I know who BIll Simmons is !

Rockets can be a threat, and even better is you take away that LA Mess and not having to fly west coast. I say if houston wants 1 chip, and they really deserve it with Gsw out, i just hope this is there year with Goldenstate away. Harden may never have another chance like this. I assume he could win elsewhere but atleast get 1 championship now.
