Not in the same way LeBron tends to make teammates better because, quite simply, Hakeem wasn't a point guard like LeBron essentially is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that's relevant. The Rockets offence under Tomjonavich was based entirely on post-entry, Hakeem draws double/triple, kicks out to shooter or hockey A, etc...and that's only half the game. On D he played a role that was much more impactful on teammates than LeBron (or any wing) does. Arguably more than anyone in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 So the playoffs in the West are pretty much set: Golden State vs Portland Spurs vs Grizzlies Rockets vs Thunder Clippers vs Jazz Does anyone think that in any of these confrontations, the first named team will not advance?

Calibandar Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I still can't believe the Clippers are so messed up they will lose that series against the Jazz. They're going to surprise us and win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be shocked if the Thunder beat the Rockets. The Rockets are such an up or down team. They can beat anyone and anyone can beat them, more or less.

sperry Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Rockets are a terrible matchup for the Thunder, because they can score too many points and OKC can't take advantage of their shitty defense. Thunder would have had a shot against LAC or Utah, or even SA, but zero shot against GS or Hou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got the 6th best NR since March 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
