Blame McHale all you want...but Moreyball is our biggest problem

That's all you got figures lol...see ya next June

 

Your previous post speaks for itself.

 

The roster is filled and everyone seems to have only one viable scale. The Rockets don't have versatile guys that can play defense and create their own shots. The bench also is decent but the most productive player is a rookie power forward. The team lacks experience players on the bench aside from Jason Terry and Marcus Thornton who won't even get playing time. Mcdaniels Got resigned and won't even touch the floor unless it's garbage time

 

my main point is that we will not know FOR CERTAIN until the starters play on the court TOGETHER after an injury plagued pre-season. It was the FIRST TIME the starters played together including pre-season. Howard is out of shape. Everything was difficult for these guys after the 1st period. If you noticed in the 1st period they played pretty good...not perfect but much better and they hung with the warriors. After the 1st period, they were GASSED and EVERYTHING became a lot more difficult. They are not in condition enough to be in sync to even know what they've got yet.

For example, I noticed several times the passes they made they almost knew Warriors would steal the ball and they could do nothing about it. They were tired running up and down the court. That isn't Mchale's fault if they haven't been healthy enough to practice. Once they are in sync, back in condition with chemistry and they still suck ass then I can see an argument. However, right now to say McHale needs to be fired after getting these guys to the WCF finals last year with 2 injured players doesn't make sense...sorry. Like I said, I got this thread bookmarked for everyone ready to jump off the golden state bridge after 2 games

 

likewise. If you should an 88 at the YMCA don't expect anything better playing at the masters. Same deal here. Players can't flip the switch at this level no matter how good they are. It's gonna take time. Common sense. If Mchale didn't make the playoffs last year that's one thing but he did with a depleted roster. Pops/Kerr wouldn't have done a better job last year sorry so I'm rollin with McHale for now and your entitled to your opinions...like I said..let's see come next June

 

"if you shoot an 88 at the YMCA" typo

 

Morey ball aka rockets offensive system is a big issue. I had hoped they would change with the addition of Ty Lawson to the lineup. But he is still a spot up shooter Like Patrick Beverley most of the time because James Harden always has to play isolation ball at the top of the key

 

He is a big name hunter not a roster builder.

 

When you start comparing Kevin McHale to Gregg Poppovich it's not a matter of opinion. It's a matter of how much you had to drink at that Halloween party last night.

 

Hardens gone 3 years of basically being the only facilitator, I think he needs time to adjust to the 2 guard role again

Look what happened to the cavs last season. It took them till after Christmas to finally click and start winning

 

Yea I guess your right. Pops woulda made the Rocket rookies run a lot harder during practice while the starters are injured and would've made a total difference. He wouldv've coached Joshua Smith how to not foul out in 5 minutes and stuff like that. That's the only comparison being made here SF3..don't make this into something else. I made my point. Let's see what happens next June. Pops would not have MAGICALLY gotten are startes healed...sorry

 

"Steve Kerr would not have done a better job with the Rockets team last year over Mchale in my opinion nor Pops so let's see where this year ends up"

This is your exact quote, we weren't talking about preseason we were speaking of last season. You know you were wrong and your only recourse now is to change the argument. Like I said, your post speaks for itself.

 

let me know when your gonna be at the ghole and I'll tell Kerr and Pops you'll be there waiting for them on your knees. Seriously. Your correct. Steve Kerr would not have done a better job with the Rockets last season or during the pre-season with a depleted Roster. 100% mark it down. I'm speaking of last season and this pre-season and the 1st two games. Heck, if it makes you feel better than the Rockets woulda lost both games by an average of 10 points if Kerr or Pops coached them...maybe. Loss are losses bro. Have common sense when it comes to teams overcoming injuries and playing together for the 1st time and I'm right about these two details. We can do this all day

 

Pops lost to the Clippers last season...the team we beat. The Spurs roster was better than our roster and Mchale made some BALLZY decisions and beat the clippers. Kerr's team was LOADED and beat the Rockets and rightfully so. Kerr misses two key players and we're fully healthy the results of that series woulda gone7 games or we wind that series. So now what

 

Your posts lead me to believe you are either drunk or on some type of powerful medication maybe crack or perhaps weed? I'm gonna stop taking you so seriously and let you enjoy your high in peace.

 

Right. Wave that white flag. See you in June =)

 

I do agree. If these guys get in sync and can play up to their potential and Lawson isn't being utilized to OFFSET your concerns that's another issue all together. Just right now in my opinion once the 1st unit plays more than one game together and have more energy than 1 period of basketball it's just no way of fully knowing if your concern is a true concern yet or not but I agree...Harden can't go one one one this year for long periods of time..hence the point in bringing Lawson. Harden said he wants to play off the ball now so time will tell indeed

 

Sometimes it is as simple as shots not falling. Confidence is a big thing in sports.

 

giving up 5 straight dunks to denver's scrubs to start off the season and not even putting a hand up when gallinari/curry/ launch 3's in video game mode has more to do with pure laziness than lack of confidence though
