    Faried shooting 3's wasn't needed. It was a extra bonus. He fits our system better than Ryan Anderson

    Why is he not resigned? Attitude problem?

    Gtfo with far"weed". Taking far"weed" is career suicide for d'antoni.


    Just be happy with Daniel house.


    Daniel house is next up. House outplayed far"weed" and management has spoken. Darryl Morey finally got something right after signing house.

    House contract 3 times what sorry Austin rivers making which reflects proper value!

    I’m wild-guessing, stabbing in the dark that DM the GM plans on keeping his powder dry waiting for Mr Right or at least Mr he who shall push ‘we’ closer to Parade possibilities.

    Oh okay. Then I guess we didn’t need a stretch 4 for spacing that could rebound and shoot the 3.

    Would love Cunningham at 6'8 he is the undersized PF Houston needs and deserves

    2 words. K-E-V-O-N + L-O-O-N-E-Y is why we lost

    The lack of hustle & energy is what hurt us, which is what Faried does. Not to mention Faried SAVED our season when Clint went down. Not bringing him back is stupid & will hurt us again

    I don't know much about Blossomgame, but every time I've seen him on the court I've been impressed. Small sample, I know... But I hope he gets a legitimate chance. Hustle and scrap is contagious.

    Well sheat! You’re way smarter than Morley and the whole coaching team. Maybe we didn’t see something that you did. The key to championship goes through Kenneth faried. You should start a thread about it. Please enlighten us. Maybe Morey is watching.

    Agreed. I had to google our roster during both of the games to remember who #7 was.

    He's been riding Faried for a while, but he won't go look at the footage that pretty much proves why he couldn't stay on the court for more than 5 minutes against the Warriors.

    Who wants a guy that sits out game 5 for "personal reasons"? rocketschamp.. that's who.

    Here's a thread from somebody who DID do his homework:

    I feel the same way though I'll say that's how I felt about Gary Clark last year, so...

    this isnt a popular take but it seems pretty factual
    faried didnt play cause he 'cant shoot 3 and defend' while kerr played all sorts of unplayables and won

    The key to a championship doesn't go through Faried, but his hustle, energy & rebounding are what we need to compete for a championship. Again, he SAVED our season last year. Let's not forget that
