I wonder what is going through Les Alexander's mind right now. He basically let a player who could help him to own the Asian basketball market for another 10 years slip away through his fingers. But I still wouldn't blame it on Morey though. Any GM would keep the player with a guaranteed contract under the same situation. Whoever says he would do otherwise is lieing.
But the real question is why Lin wasn't kept over Adrien, who also had a non-guaranteed contract. It had more to do with makeup of the roster, I think.
Timber pups with its biggest attendance in 8 years. I bet les is wishing the toyota center was filled up.
I wonder what's going to happen when Melo and Amar'e return. Are fans going to be upset if Lin doesn't get 20 shots a game?
I turn on my computer and Lin is the lead story on Yahoo, I flip to a sports channel and there's Lin talk constantly. I've been increasingly getting texts from out of town friends and family asking what were the Rockets thinking...smh.
If I'm anti-Morey as you say then you're clearly an apologist for Morey and as pro-Morey as it gets, but that's not the point. I'm not even really that concerned with Jeremy Lin. The point is that you said Morey and his staff have a very solid track record for recognizing talent that others overlook and I provided two very good examples of upper echelon talent that others overlooked including Morey and his staff. If you can take a break from your defend Morey at all costs approach, you'd see that your statement was factually incorrect. Don't get upset at me, because others have called you out and used colorful terminology to describe your blind Morey support. Then again, you've displayed your basketball knowledge by wanting the Rockets to give Michael Dickerson a shot in making a comeback in the NBA, smh.
8/24 with 8 assists and 6 turnovers is not a good PG game. Knicks won despite Lin tonight, not because of him.
He did set up Novak for the game tying three and made the tie-breaking free throw. I think his bad 2nd half had a lot to do with dead tied legs. He played all 2nd half without rest.
was a mediocre game..... Dude was exhausted and ridden like Secretariat.... Kobe chucking style.... Not a typical Morey efficient night....... Iman Shumpert ftw though
True... but hell he is going to have bad games thats a given. When you see him going off for 38 points vs the Lakers? I'll take a person like that any day.. Can't be nit picky about everything.. Lowry has had worse games.
Got to give credit to Rubio. Rubio affected his shot and had him well read. Against Barea he was looking like in previous games.
