    As a GM, Morey is great at player acquisitions, but his control of how the team plays is not going to win us a championship. Is this starting to be a problem?

    No, it isn't.

    Losses are a normal part of every team, every season.

    Morey has to make a trade immediately. No question about it. We will not win games with Tarik Black and DMo contributing serious minutes. Terrible basketball players.

    Morey is a big part of the problem. Plain and simple.

    Not every loss is the same. These past 5 games have been awful.

    No under no circumstances should the rockets lose to the lakers. Not Morey fault really. We know Mchale can't coach. The players gotta play and with no Dwight it's on him.

    McHale is literally a puppet out there. He's not even able to play Canaan because of trade rumors.

    He's also a big part of the reason we're 9-3 so far and near the top of the league.

    We only lost 2, and the first 7 games were beautiful.

    Every team has a slump. Especially when it only has 2 NBA quality bigs, and both are out.

    The root of our problem is back up PF and Center and a lack of offensive creators on our second unit. Canaan can fill some of that role on the second unit but Coach or Morey doesn't want to play him?????

    Thank the schedule makers for a 9-3 record. Soft schedules tend to get fan bases hopes up. Hell I was thinking they had turned a corner but this team is still very flawed.

    McHale deserves all the criticism he gets, he's a terrible coach, but he can only work with what he's given.

    He was given Tarik Black and Joey Dorsey. :rolleyes:
    No real bench to speak of. (With all due respect to Jason Terry and Kostas Papanikoloau)

    But hey, cap flexibility and we're gonna go chasing for a third star because we don't really believe in our other two "stars" and I got a dumbass head coach I decided to keep, so maybe three stars will make up for his incompetence!

    When Morey struggles year after year to establish a strong front court, he has to take the blame. Howard fell in his lap and to be honest, so did Harden. If this is the team we will run with throughout the season - might as well play the young players to gauge their true 'assets'.

    Lol, Doresy was a huge Blunder.

    Having a Undersized Rookie as Your Back Up? Not for a team who wants to damage in the Playoffs.

    Having basically no other playmaker on the team? U better hope the 3's are falling or things will get ugly verses top teams

    As we say at work, show me the results.

    It is inexcusable to be talking about winning championships *laugh* and giving any sort of meaningful minutes to players like Black and Dorsey.

    If this team makes the playoffs, it will be hammered in the front-court in a competitive WC with the bigs Rockets have at their disposable.
