    I just love this one. Calling dame and CJ the biggest Bitch back court when the Rockets have had a Combination of Harden and Russ/CP3 for the last 5 years.
    "It sucks we lost, especially to Dame and CJ, the biggest bitch backcourt in the league, but there's a lot to like about the Houston Rockets right now."

    Lucky? No love for the GM or coaching? I'm not picking you out only here. This seems to be the overall tone. When something goes right it's always luck so it seems.

    Someone wants cookies!

    Good win against a team that fought hard. What a difference Nurk makes! And Melo.

    But you've got to make your free throws.

    Please choose a different adjective than bitch. We can be more creative than that.

    Morey trying to be funny. No doubt sick of hearing that the Rockets are ruining basketball. It's true, though - their game is so ugly. And it's funny that they've got the same coach as the universally-loved Seven-Seconds-or-Less Suns. I think that's why Harden doesn't get the MVP respect he probably deserves.

    Speaking of the SSOL sun's teams, its funny to me that their pace then would be last in the league currently

    A sexist adjective isn't necessary.

    I guess I'm gonna have to admit that Melo is looking pretty damn good lately; I might even start to like him. But I'll be on the lookout for any backsliding! :)

    Did he gain weight? My wife and I thought maybe but you can't see his face to see if it filled out. Seems everyone lost weight in the league so I guessed harden would have too but maybe not. Zion looks terrible and jokic still looks soft to me.

    Why does the opponent have to be female to be weak?

    I find your comment to be offensive.

    Harden has lost hair. I thought Granville Waiters was running the Rockets' offense.

    Ahhh. The preconceived notion YOU have is troubling you. Since when does a sniveling little bitch have to be weak or a specific gender? I know some pretty big strong dudes that are sniveling bitches. Bitching has not gender. Ask any mod here.

    I know this isn't my conversation but I agree with you "bitching" as in complaining, has no gender but may be making reference to a gender because very obviously the word bitch is most definitely female maybe not specifically feminine. When it's used to refer to a man the intention by the user may not be to emasculate but that was it's initial use. I'm not going to condescend and give the definition of the word bitch because we all know it.

    Nice! That was an awesome response. I agree honestly. But really this is about Russell Westbrook and his antics. Nobody really thinks he is feminine. He's a bad ass. But for some reason he just cannot bring himself to shake Dame's hand after a game unless they win. Seems to me Damian Lillard doesn't run away after a loss? Maybe i'm wrong here? But i don't ever recall that other than the game the refs pretty much took from him and he called them out on it. Don't think he stuck around on the court for that one?
