Here is a great piece from Grantland: "The Game of Thrones–to–NBA Playoffs Translator, Book 1: Westeros Conference".

In the Houston Rockets section, they compared us to Daenerys Targaryen and the dragons:

netw3rk: I see the Rockets as Daenerys Targaryen and the dragons. At the beginning of the first season, Daenerys's brother Viserys planned to marry her to the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo in return for an army with which to take back the Iron Throne. As Westerosian power grabs go, pretty standard stuff: Use a strategic asset (Daenerys) to cement an alliance with an established military power. The Rockets were pursuing a similar strategy: Use strategic assets in the form of young players to swing a sign-and-trade for an established star in the form of Chris Bosh. Both plans fell apart in embarrassing fashion: Drogo dead, Viserys left with face full of molten gold, and Rockets GM Daryl Morey left holding an iPad with Bosh's name engraved on it. But Daenerys managed to recover in a way no one expected because she saw the true value in holding on to something that others would have simply sold: her three dragon eggs. She held firm and eventually the eggs hatched: Asik, Lin, and Harden.

[Imagines Morey, having just signed Harden, nude in his office surrounded by ashes as his staff looks on in amazement.]

That was so awesome. Can't wait for season 3 to start this weekend!

I'm going to have nightmares tonight from the image of Morey's face shopped over Daenerys' head.

Lol, good comparison. Is it just me or has the sports media been comparing sports to Game of Thrones a lot lately? Just a few weeks ago the cover of SI was Roger Goodel sitting on the Iron Throne.
