I'd have been back to 0.00 Forum Gold if I had bet on the Lakers. Tempted to bet on the Celtics (they got this!), but I'm trying to slowly work my way up grinding on Ladder Slasher and D2R on the side (but mostly LS). Also I don't think Proint will jinx it. The Celtics have to come through and win tonight. I'm 100% positive the Boston Celtics will win tonight. I just read that former NFL player and wrestling superstar Goldberg was injured in a tractor accident? Hmm. He's 56 years old. Looks like his face was all gashed up with bloody marks all over (New York Post posted a photo). Not as serious as it could've been though.

So interesting news. Patrick Beverley mentioned on his podcast today that he's likely signing with the Rockets.
I don't believe this is even a possibility if James Harden didn't already tell him he's also coming to the Rockets.

Two veterans like that can certainly be a nice little boost for a talented young team. Picks 4 and 20 in this draft also.
I'm starting to think the Rockets should just offer both of those picks for another veteran. A disgruntled all-star player.

May as well make that push this summer and transform from a rebuilding team into a playoff team. 6th or 7th seed next year.
Or do you guys believe it's not worth it if you're not going to win an NBA Title? Just keep adding young talent but for how long?

Also Dillon Brooks to the Houston Rockets is very much a possibility. I'm not sure how to feel about that. He's very volatile but I like his competitive nature.

Scoot is going to be a stud. Man I'm still bummed the Rockets have the 4th pick and not 2nd.
Wemby to Spurs, Scoot to Hornets, Brandon Miller to Trail Blazers. Top 3 picks are a 100% lock.

Things get interesting with the Houston Rockets at 4. Mocks have them going Amen Thompson.
One scout compares him to a young Scottie Pippen but he's so raw. 6'7 athletically gifted. Hmm.

With the 20th pick I kind of want to get that 7'4 center from Purdue, Zach Edey. Most have him going in the second round though.
We already have the baby Jokic in Alperen Sengun, who's developing into a star big man, but Edey would offer depth. More size too.

I still think if the Rockets end up signing James Harden and Patrick Beverley that'll be huge in terms of veteran leadership.
And just let all the young talent shine with Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason and Kevin Porter Jr.

The best players on the Houston Rockets right now are 20 and 21 years old which is insane. Going to be really fun in 2 or 3 years!

Maybe this new head coach, Ime Udoka, will lead us back to the promise land by 2025. Many NBA players love coach Udoka. Stay away from the female employees!

The Houston Rockets are on the right path. They should be the most exciting team in the NBA in the next year or two.
The Rockets young players were outplaying the Nuggets late in the season. Beat the Nuggets. Outplayed Jokic and Murray.
