Sometimes this team feels like they don't know what they are doing on the court. Especially KMart, he plays like he doesn't care, he passes with no energy. And then they play like they are in the playoffs. 50/50 what up with that.
this team without a trade is still going no where, they may be able to squeeze into the playoff, but won't do nothing.... picks are gone, future looks doomed.... not happy about the status quo...
'unpredictable' and 'wanting a trade' but 'love it no matter what' ...anything except Pau and his 18.7m/yr
Team desperately needs a trade to consolidate some of its talent, but I'm optimistic that we will make the playoffs and that makes me happy. If Morey can make significant improvement to the team at the trade deadline then maybe we will make some noise in the playoffs. If he only brings back a small piece like Kaman that will be disappointing but at least we'll get to watch some postseason basketball.
Q: This just hit me: If Stern doesn't veto the Lakers/Rockets/Hornets trade Jeremy Lin would still be a Rocket. Houston couldn't keep Lin because they already had 3 PG's with fully guaranteed contracts (Lowry, Dragic, Flynn). If the trade is allowed to go through, Lin would have been able to take Dragic's spot on the roster. Instead Stern vetoes the trade, and now Lin is singlehandedly saving the Knicks season, and keeping them out of the lottery. Oh ya, Houston owns New York's first rounder (top 5 protected). Is it possible Stern knew all this, and this was his actual reason for vetoing the trade? Also is this Stern's way of getting back at Houston for booing him after Game 7 of the NBA Finals? Let's be honest, the man isn't above grudges. — Adam Spolane, Houston SG: I love when Daryl Morey writes me with the alias "Adam Spolane." And yeah, you're right — if the Gasol trade goes through and Houston follows that up by signing Nene (something the Rockets believe would have happened, even if the rest of the league is dubious), here's Houston's team right now: Kyle Lowry, Courtney Lee, Chandler Parsons, Nene and Pau Gasol (starters); Jeremy Lin, Marcus Morris, Patrick Patterson, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Free Agent 2-Guard to Be Named (bench). Pretty interesting. Daryl will now light himself on fire. (PS: Did you notice Houston was awarded the 2013 NBA All-Star Game last week? My buddy House is convinced that was Stern's way of apologizing for screwing the Rockets over. It's like Warden Norton letting Andy Dufresne shine his shoes right after he killed Andy's buddy who could have testified that Andy was innocent, and throwing Andy in the hole for two months for calling him "obtuse." Sorry about what happened, Houston — here, shine my shoes with the 2013 All-Star Game!) Spoiler http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7579097/linsanity-bag Excuse me while I continue to vomit.
That first picture looks like the theme for a sitcom, lol. This week Courtney can't get those pots put away! And I mean he can't get those pots put away! Courtney and the Gang, Tuesdays a 9
How does Houston feel to the fans, that's the question..and here's your answer: http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2012/02/rockets-rank-sixth-in-west-but-theyre-near-bottom-in-attendance/ Some terrible marketing going on here, the crowd at Toyota centre are one the worst I have seen for any sport. Even against OKC, it took them 46 minutes and a message from the announcer to start chanting and rooting for the team. Interesting fact: number of available seets in the stadium is 3rd to last in the league, not that it matters. They shouldn't sell season tickets to those fat as Texans who come late, not at all or are too lazy to cheer. Atmosphere is key at home so it's amazing how good the Rockets are @ home. Can you imagine what our record would be if we had Portland's fans ?
I don't think that's quite the case as it was pretty much confirmed in August 2011 and the trade happened in December. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2011/08/reports-houston-to-land-2013-nba-all-star-game/1#.Tz442VzOxDU and http://www.chron.com/sports/rockets/article/NBA-to-bring-All-Star-Game-back-to-Houston-in-2013-2078598.php
You have ... like myself .. a lot of movie in you.. It makes it easy to explain to others what we see.. not saying I see this the same way.. but I do see what you are saying. It's an F-ed up deal that Morey did not get the deal he played for.. given that the GM of the Hornets did his job to make that team better but the league owns the team??... Damn what a joke!! And Shawshank redemption was one great movie... I never read the book but King just scares the hell out of me and then I can't sleep right at night... don't read him these days... but still love the way he rights... weird huh. Nice post keep it coming.. zzpot <img src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/61.gif'><img src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/55.gif'>
Most of those quotes are bollocks. Can anybody seriously believe Stern is that omnipotent to know Lin would make such a difference, and the All-star game thing has been explained to death too. This is the worst article I've seen coming out of Grantland and I didn't even read it.
