Houston Rockets @HoustonRockets · 7h Thank you, #RedNation. We didn't end the season how we wanted, but you supported us every step along the way.
That was one farked up way to end the season. Not only are the fans are dejected. SSo are the players. No tweets.
Cool court-side video of Lillard's shot: Spoiler <iframe class="vine-embed" src="https://vine.co/v/MrTlImjlai1/embed/simple?audio=1" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe><script async src="//platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I'm glad he finally broke the silence. I imagine it was as painful for him as it was for us. and btw, despite all the dumb haters here, his low placement in Exec of the Year is a massive joke.
I think the clowns who voted for Exec of the Year are much like Academy Award voters. I read that most who voted for "12 Years a Slave" couldn't bring themselves to, you know, actually watch it; I mean, who wants to be all, like, depressed and stuff? Morey definitely doesn't seem appreciated by his peers. EDIT: Just found this: http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2014/story/_/page/5-on-5-140508/wins-tonight-game-2s Was R.C. Buford most deserving of the Executive of the Year award? Windhorst: R.C. Buford should be Executive of this Century, Pat Riley should be Executive of the Decade and Daryl Morey should be Executive of Year. People complain about media voting, but on the one award execs vote for, they backstab each other like crazy. It's been a disgrace. Same for fans, we've seen how their All-Star voting goes. Riley not winning it outright in 2010-11 and Morey finishing like 10th this year is total pettiness. This is a career award for Buford, they finally held their noses and gave it to him so they could deny the unpopular Morey.

Like some Rockets fans, trying to justify himself or make himself feel good about the Rockets loss.

How about you guys stop ****ing quoting that vine so people don't have to mute it 3 ****ing times. As I'm typing this post it's playing in topic review THANKS ASSHOLES.
And that courtside view of Lillard's shot is great, objectively speaking. Captures the moment perfectly. It'll probably be a commercial at some point. It just makes it even more clear to me that CP was playing the drive. I still don't know why. Did any reporter ask him that? If he doesn't curl below the 3pt line, he ends up almost in Lillard's face.
