What the Rockets need to do is...
1. Sign Tony Allen (3/21 million should be enough to get him). Best perimeter defender in the game
2. Sign Pau (Will more than likely get amnestied by the Lakers, sign him to a 3/24 million deal.) Tons of playoff experience, solid leader, and is a stretch 4 that'd make up for Asik's offense.
3. Keep the rest of the money to resign Chandler in 2014.

They don't have to keep the money to re-sign parsons because of bird years. They can fill it up and still re-sign him and hopefully not have luxury tax problems

That was a fun series and I'm obviously glad OKC won. I sort of feel Houston is getting ahead of themselves a bit. A missed gimme after a no call in game 4 avoided OT and a possible sweep. Game 5 OKC laid an egg for sure. I figured Harden would get them 1 game and that was it - 7/7 from 3. Most figured OKC in 5 and that was with Russ.

Nice job Houston - see you next year.

You eked out a win against a lowly 8 seed.

A couple of foul calls and missed shots and games 2 and 3 go OUR way.

Try to not to trip over yourself when the Grizzlies pound you into submission.

Sure you got the money, but why blow it just because on a guy like Howard, when you could just get guys that fit the scheme you guys are already running (and making work)?

Houston is like OKC in that everyone complains you need a post scorer for when shooters go cold. Well, people have said that about OKC for 3 years, and we still don't have a post scorer.

Ibaka isn't a bad offensive player. He's much better than the options we currently have.

And I'm not saying we need a guy who can do the Dream Shake with ease and light up the box score every night. I just want a legitimate threat in the paint, so that the defense has to respect his ability and collapse and we can get these shooters on the perimeter open looks

The Rockets don't have the luxury of passing on a talent like Howard. He's no Hakeem, but in hus worst season ever he was still a top 3 center in the league who can dominate at both ends and own the paint.

The thunder and heat have proven you don't need a post game to win in the NBA. The rules protecting perimeter players have slanted the league to favor slashers. The Rockets already were one of the top teams in the league at scoring in the paint.

Don't like Howard. The guy once to be the center piece and while he would do wonders for us defensively, he is a third scoring option as this team is contructed.

Cousins needs a change of scene. Cousins is younger and has more potential.

What's funny is, most OKC fans were saying the same thing before the playoffs started, when he was taking Jackson's minutes.

Didn't watch a second of the series but figured I'd check to see if mazag blamed the refs at all...shocked to see that he did. Guessing it happened every game too.

I think with Westbrook out, we showed that our complementary pieces are on par with OKC. Parsons, Beverley, our PFs, and even Lin will all improve. But if they had Westbrook, it would have been a drastically different story. We still need another top level talent to challenge for a championship IMO. We need another star. Howard would be a great addition.

Foul differential for the series from game to game was pretty even

Totals:
148 Thunder
139 Rockets
