Daryl Morey is much better than some are giving him credit for

Morey is very good over all and I wouldn't want him gone. He's probably the most valuable Rocket right now. However, his philosophy of dream team or bust is completely at odds with what I value as a fan and not what the Rocket championship teams were all about.

 

I agree. Probably shouldn't have included it in the OP then to avoid that debate though.

Luckily:

1) As evidenced by the crowd tonight, most people aren't touchy about the "dream team or bust" topic. And the crowd will always be there.

2) The Rockets' championship teams were twenty years ago and are not really relevant to the current affairs of the organization save for Hakeem/Drexler helping the team with player development/recruiting.

 

People say he is God so no!... He is just a good, solid GM

 

You've totally convinced me to change the way I look at things.

 

Do you really have to create a new thread for this?

Anyway, just wondering how old OP was when we won our 2 championships.
I am wondering if this young MOFs take more pleasure out of saying "We have the best GM in the world." as opposed to when we, ROFs, used to be proud saying "we are the Chapms".

Morey is one of the top GMs, no question. And he should stop right there.
He is no "basket ball mind", he should stop preaching his basketbal "pholosophy". Have you ever seen JVG or Pop trying to run a multi variate regression or debating over MonteCarlo simulation? No self respecting coach, who has a system, will listen to this BS that Daryl sells. That's why you need a McHale or a Finch.

But as long as this run n gun fast food offense fills the seat and put money in Les' pocket, things will remain same.

 

It's ironic you bring up JVG, because JVG praise Morey every chance he talks about the Rockets.

 

Where are you getting the misspelled quotes from? I know this is clever, but I just don't get the reference.

 

I agree with this post. The Morey worship around here can get quit ridiculous. Morey's legacy from now on out needs to start being measured by the team's playoff performance. Morey likes swinging for the fences as far as players are concern but it looked like he struck out with hiring McHale. I will give Morey credit for the following good moves coming into this season:Re-hiring defensive coach T.R. Dunn, signing KPap, not overpaying that douche Parsons and signing Ariza and...welp... signing former Rox killer Jason Terry. What looked to be a bad off season for the Rox looks to have turned out to be a solid off season. However, barring injury, some how, some way, this team needs to start having some playoff success.

 

That's ok, you don't have to be clever. I understand that you don't get the references, that's ok too. Now, take a deep breath and say Morey is a bb genius. Tomorrow, we will learn colors.

 

I thought it was JVG's move, to be honest. JVG is not a coach that takes well to rookies.

 

I have been on board this train for a long time and Morey absolutely should have a job as long as he wants one if his smart moves continue - people severely underestimate the difficulty curve of both surviving and recovering from Yao and McGrady's collapse, one of the most seamlessly handled core collapses in NBA history - but that said, he has reached the point where he MUST win - the injury excuses were completely reasonable to explain how he could be an elite GM with no deep playoff runs in 2011, but the time is now to back it up with results.

 

There is no irony there, we all praise Morey, for his GM skills. But that is where he should stop. Let a real coach run a system, not McHale running Morey's experiment. Btw, Finch does not have a "system", Don Nelason and Pringle tried and failed. That BS may create scores of High school cult followers and make money for Le$$. But that will not bring a championship anytime soon.

 

Huh? Collapse from what? They never won a single playoff series.

 

But his PR team act like ****.

 

So now we know what Morey's Clutchfan's username is...

just kidding. Nice post.

 

As I mentioned, the silver lining is that you're in the minority.

 

How many ClutchFan accounts the PR team has? Rockets PR team are the most hard working one among all sports franchises. Hats off to you guys, you are working overtime.

 

You do know where Popovich's current offensive system is based upon, right? If you don't, maybe you need to watch some basketball played by the Phoenix Suns 5-10 years ago.

 

Three things. First Terrance Williams aka the "squid"did not work out costing us a first round pick. Second We could of draft Deandre Jordan instead of Dorsey. And the one the hurts the most is passing out on the MVP of the last NBA finals on Kwahi Leonard. Other than that he is solid
