What if DM didn't implement his philosophy in coaching

If by philosophy, you mean putting the ball in the basket, then yes, take that away and they have a better chance of proving themselves.

 

Haha I was going to post this same thing. We are missing 3s, layups, and everything in between. While also not defending well at all. The team is just a mess right now. Every facet from the owner to the players deserves blame. The tougher question is where do we go from here? Obviously we are going to try to get back into the playoff race, but come trade deadline time, and if we are still way back in the standings, do we start exploring trade options for Howard, Brewer, etc.?

Without Coach Whisperer Daryl Morey in his ear, Mchale would have just been clapping without a purpose

 

it is stupid as hell ot keep shooting threes when they're not oging down. its basic basketball 101 but for some reason morey completely ignores it

when the threes aren't going down, MIX IT UP! shoot some mid range jumpers. i agree dont stop shooting threes completely, but also dont keep jacking up countless threes

u can also put in thornton or terry to get some quick threes

i just dont understand whats going on in moreys mind when he sees the team isnt making their threes, over and over again. not just this season.

and does he even know we dont have any elite shooters aside harden? the system wont work with average/below average shooters

 

Morey doesn't actually play basketball, he just studies analytics and implements a system based on a theory.

 

i dont think thats the reason. i think he gets sexually aroused when he sees this big strong black guys brick three after three
the bricking sound must be the climax. enough of those bricks, and he'll need new pants

 

Short memories I guess. DM has let coaches run their shows in the past and his current influence on the scheme is repeatedly exaggerated.

 

They have bought into the ESPN narrative.

 

Lol. Short memories? DM did let our 2 better coaches JVG & Adelman run the show but essentially got rid of both so he could have more control (aka Moreyball). No valid reason Adelman should've been pushed out other than him not giving Morey more control. Our next coach will need to be able to run his own ship

 

ESPN narrative? They finally caught on what Morey is really about.

 

They've been shooting mid-range shots at a high rate since about game 4. They've been missing from everywhere.

 

Wish I could rep this twice.

 

Sorry but this is inaccurate. I'd be violating a confidence to say more but this is way off. And I felt just as you do before I knew the background.

 

You guys are crazy. DM didn't believe in anything other than finding the best guys who actually add value to the team. He uses stats as a guide - but he also goes for players who will help.

He didn't go after T-mac because he was a great 3-point player. He didn't chase Carmelo for that reason either. Nor many other players. He put the best group of guys he could have put on the floor. You can't blame him for the players poor chemistry.

You can blame him for letting guys walk, or letting dragic go, or the moves he made. But he did what he had to do with what he had to work with and what Les told him to do as a boss. I really think his only massive blunder was letting Dragic walk.

 

I do agree that Adelman was let go for no good reason. Morey is a good GM though. I think the Mchale/Adelman debacle will always haunt him though.

 

He wasn't GM until 3 years after we got Tmac.

 

That's true but regardless - he chased Carmelo.

 

He is a good GM. He hit some and he missed some and is ok.

But he has not achieved anything yet. Is there any other city where a GM, not a player, is worshipped in such a vulgar manner? He has a cult following here - how did this happen? When did this happen? We used to have LOFs who used to consider JL as a superstar. I see the same disturbing trend here. MOFs - who think Daryl is the best thing that can happen to Houston. I just can not wait these MOFs to drive out of town. Take your GM worshipping a** to the next city DM moves to.
