Unpopular Opinion: The Houston Rockets are the biggest let down in the NBA over the last 8 years

[Yo Tee]

With all that talent, they've got nothing but 4 Division titles to show for it. Out of the last 8 years, 2 conference finals appearances and 0 NBA finals appearances. 3 of their 8 playoff appearances ended in a first round exit. I don't know what the answer is to Houston's problem, but they can't seem to ever be able to put it all together to take the title. Houston...what's the problem?!

Not really. Sixers been more disappointing

 

[bksballer89]

They also didn't get real talent until they acquired CP3. Before that, it was Harden and a bunch of role players

 

[DorianRo]

Probably. If they would have kept last years team together they would have won the title this year with ease. Thats more IDIOCY though. And that front office does have alot of dumbasses employed obviously

Only if you actually believed in "the process".

Always had Harden. Even with the addition of Westbrook, they can't make it past the 2nd round. 2 years ago they were the best team in the west with guys like Capela, Ariza, Harden and CP3 and weren't able to do anything.

 

[bksballer89]

Can make a great case for clippers and thunder as well

 

[DorianRo]

Clippers will still probably win the title. Rockets wanted to blow crap up and play a "midget ball" with a career LOSER like D'antoni. thats pure idiocy on paper before you play even one game

They need a better coach

Why did you expect Harden and role players to come out of the west.

2 years ago they made the WCF and went down in 7 games to probably the best team of this century.

They were one awful game away from making the Finals and probably winning it. It could have been worse, their peak was with CP3

Yep and are we going to act like the Warriors dynasty was around from 2015-2019 as well?

 

[BrockForBroglio]

What do you expect. They have a one man ball hog on offense, dribble for 18 seconds then shoot, and only four guys on defense because said ball hog can't play defense. Hardin sucks as a team player.

 

[DorianRo]

Hell they dont even need Cp3. Capella was probably enough to reach the finals at least. or the WCF. You can't win with a team full of guys 6'4/. That idiocy on all fronts. Shi**can the organization as a whole

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Houston did not truly have elite Championship talent for a lot of those years.
Harden had a bunch of role-players early on in Houston.
Their best team was undone by that injury to Chris Paul and GOLDEN STATE being God tier dynastic.

Meanwhile, another franchise that never gets criticized ever has had these players suit up in the last decade.

Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Paul George, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony
Serge Ibaka, Victor Oladipo, Steven Adams, Reggie Jackson, Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Martin, Jeff Green,
DJ Augstin, Dion Waiters, Caron Butler, Enis Kanter, Denis Schroeder

This is among your dumbest sentences ever, and that's with very stiff competition. Do you enjoy being considered the dumbest poster here?

He really should just stop typing words.

He won't, because he's not smart enough to know that he should.

But he should.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

i dont feel let down or disappointed at all. I can honestly say I have been gloriously happy with how they have produced losses every year

I guess there was no way for them to keep Chris Paul and get Westbrook. But Westbrook was an improvement. Rivers was Really a bad choice.. Not sure what they saw in him
