    Durrant isn't a one dimensional player.

    Harden's obviously very talented and he's done great work getting Houston to where they are this year ... no question on that

    Where I struggle with Houston is that they shoot way too many 3's IMO ... last night against the Warriors when push came to shove the Rockets decided to just chuck it from deep whereas the Warriors kept finding ways to get layups and open shots over and over.

    I get what they are trying to do with effective FG% and whatnot ... but in the end, it's just not winning basketball at the highest levels.

    Pick your poison - either that or Dwight Howard.

    I think they made the right choice.

    The Dubs (ILTCTTDTWILTD) are still going to boatrace them *irregardless assuming Houston can get that far - which they won't.

    To me, it's Spurs/Dubs in the conference finals. I don't see anybody else even seriously in the discussion.

    I had to google what this meant. Is this referring to Lamar Odom and James Harden taking the L for trying to get that girl after?

    It probably won't them a title but without that style they're an 8 seed. It was absolutely the best decision for them.

    I'm not disagreeing that the approach fits their roster ...

    But for me this is an identity issue for the franchise and for Morey as GM ... this is the kind of team that he wants. I just don't think that shooting 3's is a recipe for being able to win deep in the playoffs. To win you have to be able to get good shots within 10-15 feet and get to the free throw line.

    I agree that Houston probably isn't a real threat. I don't agree the style of play is the problem. It's a talent issue that lead to this being the way they have to play for success.

    Except that they are playing their best ball of the year right now without him.
    They obviously are better with Durant, but this is still a true statement.

    The Cavs attempted 43 threes last night, and hunting threes have been a part of Lebron's game going back to Miami.

    You're chasing the wrong rabbit here.

    I just don't think the Warriors make it out of the West. There is a reason no teams have met three straight years.

    I think the Cavs are playing possum and get out of the East rather easily.

    Cavs over Rockets in 6

    This is the year the Clippers finally get out of.....
