    I like Morris better than Patty melt. Who ever disagrees, doesn't know basketball.

    Go back and watch every minute he's played in the league. He is always in garbage time mode. I don't think the message to take away from this game is that Morris cost them the game and I agree that Patterson is playing horribly, but Morris has showed z-e-r-o this year. He only played well against the Spurs in the preseason. That's on him.

    I think everyone gets these wrong every now and then.

    I still have faith Ppat can be a solid player. But man his low post game needs A LOT of work, it works and the Rockets waste possessions trying to get it to him.

    When he's doing everything else and playing with energy and being a 'garbage' man he looks a lot better.

    I'm just suggesting that Morris and Ppat share minutes at the back up PF spot. It will at least motivate 2pat and at least we can see if Morris perhaps is a better option there or not.

    I mean Morris looks small to be a PF any ways but Ppat plays so small anyways.

    Right here. As pitiful as Le has been, he HAS played. 8.4 million to sit your goldbricking arse on the bench for a shoulder?...a shoulder? YHKTBKM !

    The Rockets don't deserve to make the playoffs.

    Thanks for staying positive. I've almost lost hope. Maybe just an extended slump? IDK but I am ready to hand his job to morris.

    Actually when he got legit minutes he hardly ever shot the ball. If anything he was being too shy and passive rather than being a chucker.

    Basketball is mental too, once a guy feels comfortable they play a lot better. Morris always plays spots minutes so never can get comfortable in a role.

    KMart feelings were hurt and he was not into playing for the team this season because of it. The injury only give more of reason to close it down without being question.

    They pay good money for those tickets lol. They should just boo the team if they show no effort again.

    Stupid comment. He's been out long enough to recover from open heart surgery let alone a shoulder injury. He is smiling over on the bench laughing at the chumps stupid enough to pay him 8.4 million to sit in his Sgt. Pepper jacket smiling. Has a heart the size of a peanut.

    The most disappointment this season has to be PPat. He no longer has the inside game he had last season and to think most wanted him to be the starting PF. I am glad Scola was not dealt.

    ABSOLUTELY correct ! Nailed it. As Barkley once said " There are people who have open heart surgery who recover more quickly." His REAL problem is a TICKER problem.

    I can tell Morris lacks defense if we give him the opportunity. But I feel like when the Rox go completely flat as we often do in the third, its worth it to see if he can give us a little lift.

    Not likely the regulars were just playing bad O in the third.. The defense looked bad too.

    Our pf situation is pretty awful. We could also use a scoring wing. Not having Camby hurts a lot. This team is frustrating not because they are having trouble right now, because every team does that. They are frustrating because I either want them to make the playoffs and play well enough to have an outside chance, or miss the playoffs and get a draft pick in a very deep draft (for rotation players) limping in sucks.
