Parsons and Ariza are not a wash, Ariza is a better shooter and much better defender. Oh and Ariza has been on a championship team and Parsons has shot a photo shoot.

Numbers show that offensively they are exactly the same but Ariza is defensively far superior and cost 8 mil vs 15 mil. Yeah i think the Rockets won out. Good luck Dallas
Right now, more than the state of the roster, I'm upset that Mark Cuban, Chris Bosh and the Fran Blinberry's of the world all get to laugh at our expense.
People unhappy with Morey for jettisoning Asik and Lin are just looking for something to complain about. However, he can swing for the fences and not decline Parsons' option. He didn't need to do that in order to pursue LBJ/Melo/Bosh. Although he recovered from that quickly by signing Ariza, it still stings. A lot. And will for some time.
Well said, especially the part that you have to win 1st round before winning a champ. So true. I believe Morey simply outsmarted himself this time. I said before and will say it again. Unless JH plays defense, we won't win anything!
And his defense, don't forget his defense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N29JOI240Eg His last play as a Rocket is a memorable one.
Was JH playing defense on Lillard on the last play of the season? Oh wait that was CP25 who gave up the wide open 3. Ooops.

We will laugh last and laugh better. Dallas and Miami will miss the playoffs, we will land Durant and win championships. Go Rockets!
Didn't you see them rush the court? That was a Robert Horry game winner right there chief. And I think I heard it said, CP25 was the glue guy, that must explain why he was so slow to react and cover Damian Lillard. CP25 must have a lot of glue on his sneakers slowing him down. Poor guy.
Thanks for not trying. I mean it is hard to make a stupid argument sound good, and not even Blindbird can pull it off, don't feel bad that you couldn't do better.
The series ended on that play but we did not lose the series because of it. The losing is on the whole team including Coaching staff. If we really need to blame sb, I'd rather put it on McHale and JH. They were supposed to be the leaders... I guess enough on the blaming game. We will see if JH can change his mind set. We all need to pray for him to change if we wish to have a chance to pass the 1st round.
