Houston Rockets – James Harden Can’t Keep Carrying Them Alone

Chicago Bulls – Wasting Their Season Away One Loss at a Time
There will come a time in the playoffs when the Chicago Bulls will regret wasting their potential away with a series of losses it’ll be hard to explain.

Until the day comes in which DeAndre Jordan becomes a good free throw shooter, sending him to the line will remain a valid, effective strategy.
