This is a joke, right? Yeah they won one game without their two top scorers against a mediocre Celtics team, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Flukes happen. The outlook is still very grim and won't get any better for another 4-5 years at best. The day they signed Houston to that awful contract was the day they basically killed any chance they might have had at being a contender anytime in the forseeable future. And what makes it even worse is everyone was saying at the time how bad that contract would be, how Houston wasn't worth that kind of money and it would put them in such a hole financially that they wouldn't leave any room to improve the team, and they go and say fuck you to the fans and sign the deal anyway. What a fucking pathetic mess of a franchise.
