Yahoo: James Harden said that his career will "definitely" end in Houston

quote:
"Obviously, my work place is amazing, people I'm surrounded with, that I come to work with every day. I'm in a happy place," Harden said. "Fans here in Houston show me so much love and support. Everything is flowing in a positive way right now. I'm all smiles."

Spurs play annoying in game music when they have the ball.

1. Houston Emerges As the Biggest Threat to Golden State in the West


There are six things to worry about with the Rockets:
1. They don't have much good outside shooting, though Ty Lawson should generate some clean spot-up looks for James Harden.
2. It's impossible to hide both Lawson and Harden on defense.
3. Harden spent time dating a Kardashian, Lawson is dealing with an alcohol problem, and Dwight Howard is Dwight Howard. Do you trust the personalities on this team in gut-check moments?
4. Howard's farts could incapacitate the entire locker room before a big playoff game.
5. Several key players, including Howard and Donatas Motiejunas, are dealing with injury. If Motiejunas or Terrence Jones is ever out long term, Houston will either have to play more small ball or slot a rookie in at backup power forward.
6. Their defense, ranked sixth in points allowed per possession last season, may regress a hair even if Howard plays more games. Opponents shot just 32 percent from deep against Houston last season, the lowest such mark in the league. The Rockets had a lot to do with all of those bricks, but that number will creep up.

But you know what? I love this team. They are freaking loaded with relentless athletes who will never stop running, flying to the rim, launching 3s, and whipping the ball up the court in transition. They are exhausting to play against. They got Lawson for free! K.J. McDaniels may be ready for more time on the wing, Clint Capela is a player, and Harden is going to make a run at MVP again.

And for all the anxiety about the shaky makeup, these guys held together during the same tense moments in which the Clippers quaked. Howard was great in the playoffs, and he has already led a team to the Finals. Why do we act as if he has accomplished nothing on the big stage?
This team should scare everyone, especially because Daryl Morey has one more trade to make. Count that as an extra prediction: Houston will make one win-now move.

Comprehensive chart of who all got cut. A few things:
-Perry Jones....wow
-So Chuck Hayes passed on us because the Clippers offered more money, and they cut him? What the heck is up with that?
- I really disagree with the decision to cut all the guys we cut

There was mention on the board about Lawson being suspended because of that 2nd DWI. Was there ever word he wouldn't be disciplined or are we still waiting on that?

It's his fourth DWI, just the second one last year. He had one in North Carolina, one in Missouri, one in Denver and then the most recent was in LA. 46 states to go!

I don't think the NBA has suspended him yet and may wait on his legal proceedings.

Do you know if you can use a VpN to get around the rockets blackout on the nba league pass app? I'm heading to Saudi for a week, and want to watch the game.

I've got Vpn express which seems to work well on my iPhone, I think it might be the same thing. Root sports is blacking out the rockets games, but if I switch the VPN to California I'm all good
