    Really screw that 3 point rain approach. Does do **** nothing in the playoffs.

    This is not Spurs moving the ball around to find that shooter. This is firing at will.

    A "starting caliber" PG will not help because Harden will always be the de facto PG.

    What we need is a better bench.

    Wrong.

    Having a quality pg (not guys over the hill) who can make plays for others or himself serves as a plan B in cases where:
    1. Harden is being targeted out of a play via double team.
    2. Harden is not playing like the MVP Harden.

    Our offense just dies,like it did tonight, if launching 3 pointers if the only thing left in the arsenal.

    Morey should be smarter that. He should just go and invent another system.

    A playoff system that works.

    Whatever works in the regular season might not work in the playoffs, when defensive intensity is at its highest and teams are focused on taking out your best playmaker. How about two playmakers, would that help? That is a resounding yes.

    Problem with Morey is that he believes he has solved basketball and knows the INS and OUTs of basketball

    This guy does not have much humility in him. He is too egotistical for a team that has done nothing significant under his regime.

    Stupid statements like "coin flip" or "coaching doesn't matter" and his repeated promotion of McHale to the media goes to show you that he truly believes that McHale can do no wrong.

    Dude had a chance to go big with that NOP pick when it was looking like a lottery pick and get us a PG upgrade but decided to hold on to it. NOP then makes the playoffs and the pick loses significant value while ROckets trotting out two 37 yr old PG's

    Morey needs to take a step back and realize that despite all that he has done, he is far from solving basketball.

    Morey you have to get a pick & pop PF

    Example: everyone of those pocket passes harden throws when he's doubled, can be a easy bucket of we had a guy that could shoot a jumper instead of driving I wold to the lane

    We need a better coach. The roster and the system is fine. D-Mo as a post option and Beverley making opponent PG's work hard would really help us.

    So it has been spoken, so it shall be done.

    I swear, the collective IQ of clutchfans plummets after we lose a game.

    A bit delusional. Our system is fools gold. You will not win a championship or have playoff success jacking up 3's at Morey's rate. Our roster is talented but not built to be a perimeter based team

    Poor 3 point shooters, poor free throw shooters........change the philosophy or get the players that fit the system you want to create.
