'Bari and Tari are running these fools off the court. Hopefully they make a big jump in year 2. They both look so much more confident and have that swagger which they didn't at all in these games last year.

NGL. That first half from Jabari in the SL opener had me shook. I know he's only 20, but that game felt like a make/break game for the rest of his season.

Tari is going to go down as one of the best picks of that draft. What a steal.

Not sure if it's the jersey number or what, but the Jaylen Brown comparisons are starting to make sense.

Damn that's easily a playoff team in the NBA right?

Easily. Two 20 guys (I'd argue that SGA is a top 10 guy), RJ as the third scorer, Brooks (meh) and Dort as your defensive anchors, kinda deep bench. They're honestly a better version of the Pacers.

Time for the Rockets to win another championship!

Or perhaps we still have some growing to do…

Very glad to be done with summer league ball.

Just so gross.

James Harden: “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of. Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.” pic.twitter.com/AmHJ0WwbF2

Harden is attempting to do something unprecedented. He’s going to try to personally tank while also proving he’s worth a huge extension.

(NOTE: I realized CFTXAG10 beat me to this post, but I had too much fun typing it out so I thought i'd submit it anyways)

So there is this girl who is super hot and amazing in the sack. She does things in bed you'd never dream were possible, but she clearly has a few screws loose. She is huge drama queen and is addicted to social media.... but again she is amazing in the sack. Your friends don't like her, your family hates her, she is very expensive and she constantly wears shirts that say "Cat Mom"....but again, she is amazing in the sack.

Eventually she gets in a shouting match with your grandma during Thanksgiving because she felt disrespected and you muster up enough self-respect to finally dump her. You know it was the right move, but you still check her instagram regularly and in your thirstier moments have even contemplated a booty call.

Then one day you browse social media and realize you dodged a huge bullet:

Probably working for a job next year when his contract is up.

Love his time with the Rockets but fk him. Forced his way out of every team he has been on and then expect loyalty from other people.

So Harden is now saying he would like to play in China....says he loves it there....lol.

Please Please Please make this happen! I can't wait for him to come running back in 4 months after they stop the red carpet treatment and he realizes that its not nearly as nice as it seems. I hope he recognizes strip clubs are illegal in China....

He has made over 300 million dollars as an NBA player and he is throwing a tantrum because he can't get another 30. He was never the smartest or most self-aware human being to begin with, but he has really fallen off the deep end in the last month.

Harden is such a cancer....

Kevin McHale does NOT hold back on James Harden. 😳 pic.twitter.com/YkcSWXbqaV

Was this after the year we lost 4-1 to the Warriors in the WCF because McHale was playing a 37-year-old Jason Terry 35 minutes a game? That post season?

Did you want more Pablo Prigoni? More Corey Brewer (.341/.000/.700 shooting in the series)?

McHale didn't make Harden shoot 2-11 in game five.

It didn't matter what McHale did, that team could never beat that Warriors team.

The rockets had that awesome comeback in Game 6 at LAC in the 4th with Harden on the bench.

Cory mother effing brewer,

Both Garuba and Ty Ty Washington have been cut by OKC. I guess dumping them wasn't such a poor use of assets after all.

And they still have 3 too many players after cutting both of them and a Rudy Gay

I'm guilty here. I actually thought they were worth something....guess not.

My guess is that Garuba probably ends up in Spain. Not sure about Ty Ty. Maybe he can get a gig playing for the G league.

NBA's Kevin Porter Jr. Arrested After Allegedly Assaulting Girlfriend https://t.co/Hvlb2z7DKC

— TMZ Sports (@TMZ_Sports) September 11, 2023

We're told police responded to a call of a dispute around 6:45 AM ... and at the scene, cops observed a laceration on the right side of the 26-year-old woman's face.


The woman -- who also complained of neck pain -- claimed KPJ struck her multiple times throughout her body during the physical altercation. EMS responded to the scene ... and the girlfriend was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Porter is currently behind bars in New York on assault and strangulation charges.

Just read that Kysre is John Lucas' goddaughter. Probably the last we'll see of him on this team.
