    That would be my fairy tale ending to this but, unfortunately, I don't see them winning a game outside of Canada in the next couple weeks.

    What's all this then? If you win it you earned it. Deserve ain't got nothing to do with it.

    Yes, but one of those is just an unpleasant handjob, while the other involves being sodomized with a barb-wire covered baseball bat.

    1080AM just reported that Mike Dantoni has been hired as the Rockets' head coach.

    Harden will lead the league in scoring next year.

    Makes sense - if your "best" player isn't going to play defense might as well get a coach that doesn't require that his team play defense.

    Yep, but they will finish with less than 45 wins too and still not make the playoffs next year.

    Clutchfans is going to be a good read. Bout to go check it out!

    They were trying to organize an anti D'Antoni rally at their arena. Gonna be a lot of pissed off people over there.

    Mike D isn't a bad coach. No reason with a decent off season they can't get back to the playoffs.

    If Meyers Leonard were smart, he'd angle a way to get himself on that Houston squad.
