    I know Morey loved Nene coming back but if he knew ahead of time Nene can only play 1 out of every 2 games, he should've gotten a proper backup Center. Right now Nene is playing terrible because he has to play consecutive games instead of his usual 1 out of 2. He's too old and doesn't have the energy to keep up with our pace.

    Losing Capela is killing us right now. Morey made a huge mistake of signing a bunch of defensive bench-warmers who can't create for themselves or just score in general...

    btw, I was looking at the box score on google stats and it seems someone is a Rocket hater that works for google?

    Edit* Nvm, apparently that's his full name. I have never heard anyone call him by that name before so it caught me off-guard.

    This team does not play defense. Season after season we have the same problem. We were defeated by two teams that will not reach the playoffs in our own home. It's time for us to go down to earth and understand that without playing defense you can not win anything. Two shameful defeats. Any team that plays against us scores 120 points. Once again ... the acquisition of Anderson has been the worst mistake of the Morey era. Without defense this team is not going anywhere. The same story repeated over and over again.

    People are gonna be in for a rude awakening next season even if we get Lebron.

    Our depth is gonna suck but when we're healthy, we're still gonna destroy the league. But if any one of Harden/CP3/Lebron gets injured, we'll be losing to non-playoff teams like the Clippers.

    Morey have created a philosophy monster that he himself is chasing. Threes, Layups and FTs. Then Warriors started to do it correctly. Meanwhile Morey is envisioning what warriors created. No, OBSESSED with it is more likely.

    This dude is ****ing weird.

    Clippers bench outscore the Rockets 62 to 10. Morey needs to stfu and worry about upgrading the dead weight.

    God. Kerr's quote makes us look so pathetic.

    Moreys great and all, but he needs to shutup.

    He calculated it...lol

    There's only one player that doesn't play defense.

    Because Kerr went to that team when it was already stacked and would be favorites with any decent coach


    He didn't have to work through building it like Morey and D'Antoni are

    Uh no, no one had those warriors with such a coach change and going on to be this kind of threat.

    They won 51 games the previous year with Mark Jackson. Curry, Klay and Green were all there already. Put D'Antoni, Pop, Stevens, and others and they'd be just as good.

    It doesn't matter. Morey shouldn't have said that even if it was true. He's asking for a put down, if not from Kerr, it would be from someone else.

    We always say that players shouldn't look beyond the next game no matter how big the game after that is. Morey is basically saying that other teams don't matter. You know that kind of statement is going to come back to bite you.

    Fair enough, I just don't think Kerr should be the one calling him out on it. He's like Tom Brady's QB coach thinking he's a QB guru
