    I was Morey's biggest defender my guy.....It's not like I always said this. It the conclusion I've come to....It just so happens to be the truth. If I can accept it, so can you.

    could be .

    If we played wood 10 more minutes tonight to try and pump his stats any number of negative things could have happened .

    futhermore, if we keep making that choice over and over wood will get worn down .

    my post about minutes was mostly tongue in cheek . But there’s some idiot on twitter screaming that wood needs 36 mpg as if some arbitrary number of minutes is the key to a championship.

    Those end of the bench guys need to believe they can play

    In all seriousness, absolutely loving the teamwork!

    Don't worry, I'm living and eating well. I'll be dying on this hill with Lebron and Durant and Popovic so I'll be in good company.

    The Rockets deserve a lot of credit.

    I wasn’t sure if they would be over .500% at any point this year, and here they are.

    Strong work ethics and gritty defense is their calling card.

    Good chance we keep our pick this year with Miami being well under .500%

    For those of you interested, we are currently a half game out of the fifth seed.

    we are not good enough.

    No way; even in the 65 win season, there weren't that many 6+ win streaks. Most of the Harden era would have 4 game win streaks with the 5th game being a dud.

    It's all about the mental and variety man. They all say it for a reason, sometimes you need to get closer and sometimes you just need to get something else. Nothing more than that. If you can shoot and you're open you should shoot and you're never going to get better at the shot if you never take it.

    I'm just talking about how Durant tried to school people on the value of the mid range shot and Lebron and those otehr guys said the same thing.

    Iggy even said it's a lot easier guarding guys if you know they won't take it. I'm sure FMVP and defensive career specialist doesn't know what he's talking about though.

    Thats cuz we didnt have a good coach Dumbtoni just let inmates run the asylum all the time. Look at Nets now beat good teams then get punked by Wizards.

    Im extremely happy with Silas and Stone. With the 2 of them Rox future looks hella bright for the next decade or so.

    Disagree.

    The philosophy doesn't care about numbers. It's about a players mindset and taking a shot he might be comfy with to get himself going. It's not about the numbers at all, it's about the variety of it. It's like how NFL teams still run the ball even though they don't need to and it's not as efficient. It's like how a starting pitcher needs a variety of pitches to last through a game.

    It's just about variety. I don't understand what's so controversial about it?

    I know people want him traded but he and Gordon have been fantastic off the bench during this streak.

    Wasn’t that the year the cp3 cc lineup went like 22-1 to start the year (when together)?
