Jimmy Butler to the Rockets makes sense
If Houston is going to overcome Golden State, Butler could be just the man to get them over the hump. As I’m sure readers have heard, Jimmy Butler is on the move from Minnesota. The only questions remaining are: Where? And for how much? As Jeremy outlined earlier this week, if the Rockets want to get in on the sweepstakes, they’d likely have to part ways with a package centered around Eric Gordon, P.J. Tucker, and a first-round pick. While that package probably doesn’t sound too attractive to Timberwolves fans’, as the returning players don’t fit the young core’s timeline, one...

NBA Fix #3- Fouls On Three-Point Attempts
We need some clarity from the league on this issue. This fix may be the most difficult of them all because there’s so much subjectivity to it. At the same time, there seems to be too much subjectivity to it. Rockets fans know this because we’ve seen it with James Harden time and time again. He will get the same call three times in one game, but not get it in the next. He can get the call in the first half, but then he wont get it in the fourth quarter. And, as we saw against Golden State, he couldn’t get the calls in series-closing games. I’m not here to talk about rigged; I...
