THIS. And Les barking that they made the playoffs this season but failing to say that Utah had to go on a losing streak to do so LOL.
I don't understand why u r this team's fan, there r too many better teams and boss that u should go to support.
Les is not a creator, he is a Follower, he will be chasing them Warriors for the next 5-10 years Really sad
Hell, at least they mentioned defense. They are cognizant that the fans, Rockets sites, and national media (local media, not so much) are not drinking the kool-aid. I will say this - defense does have a lot to do with effort and energy. Watching the OKC game last night it was clear that OKC had to work so much harder to get a bucket than GSW. Sure, Curry can jack up a contested 3 5 seconds into the shot clock, but GSW also get a ton of easy lay ups based on ball movement. In game 7 of the WCF there is no doubt OKC is giving full effort on D. But they looked tired from having to slog it out and a lot of that is from the offense. If we can get easy buckets here and there (think Adelman's back door layups) it could save energy and re-energize the team. i mean, we are where we are. maybe it won't be totally awful.
You can't seriously believe Les thinks only 3 coaches have won 60 games in history. He clearly means among ACTIVE HEAD COACHES.
@htown1984: "We have a roster that's set up to be better in transition. We have a roster that's been a very strong defensive roster recently. Last year was obviously a tough year on that end."
Im pretty sure the top 3 teams in the west don't have a stupid ass offensive philosophy either dumb idiot.
BTW, just found another one. Mike Brown. Yes, Mike Freaking Brown. 66 wins in 2009 with the Cavs. 61 wins the following year. I hope Les meant active coaches. Cuz if he didn't, he clearly hasn't watched much NBA(outside of the Rockets anyway) since he bought the team.
Great! The Rockets hire this guy and he can't even resemble a lightly salted children snack correctly anymore!
The top 3 teams in the West play defense. The Thunder/Spurs don't even play that pace really. Only the Warriors do.
Someone should have asked LE$ the real tough questions. WHEN WILL WE REBRAND AND CHANGE LOGOS AND UNIFORMS?!?
harden plays an old man game walking the ball up just barely clearing the 16sec mark -- how the F is he going to run run run without gasping for air midway thru the 1st Q?
Has Les said or done anything lately to earn the benefit of the doubt? Morey just said in this same press conference that only 3 or 4 other teams have made the WCF in the last 10 years. The actual number is 10. I think these guys are so desperate to spin this mess that they're just throwing out numbers and stats that mean absolutely nothing to the average fan.
felt cringeworthy that owner grand finale Q&A at the very end. Should have ended with a positive slant
