Is it not painfully obvious yet that the team is better without Patterson

actually, the last player whose nuts he was hanging all over and crying about the board villainizing was royce white...lol :grin:

 

You are referring to Carl Herrera, right?

 

CH was a staunch supporter in the royce white threads as well but he did it in a more civil way, while lars just b****ed nonstop at anyone who called royce out

 

"Anti-PP" crowd? I refer to these guys as the pro-Rockets crowd. PP was better than all, but Smith in my opinion. I know we differ on how good Smith is. Rockets were one of worse teams producing from PF with PP and are still one of the worse without him.

I think it is fairly obvious that the Rockets aren't hurting without PP. As bad as you make out DMo, Smith, TRob....the Rockets are still playing about the same as the Rockets were before. Beverley has helped the Rockets some, but he isn't a game changer.

 

No wonder I can't find RAPM updates.

"hired by an NBA team"
Confirmed in email or Link?

 

I like how the Patrick Bargnani truthers just keep repeating "Of course he was better! He just was! It's obvious!" ad nauseum always without supporting evidence. Though I suppose when there is no supporting evidence that's the sort of reasoning you have to resort to.

Keep fighting the good fight lmao

 

interpretation:
Yes who needs stats like win% and point differential post and pre trade. Those are irrelevant and the contextual data is not accounted for at all...and furthermore. If I keep talking in circles eventually people will agree with me.

Nice try carl...nice try

 

"here we go with all these baseless facts and non-contextual statistics. Can we just stick to rockets are worse because I gave stats about T-rob struggling...geez guys"

 

that was me paraphrasing CH FYI lol

 

Translation: no matter what hard numbers you provide rockets are 50% worse without patt...and 40% of the stat I just provided was made up on the fly.

 

I just can't see how anyone can argue that to date T-Rob or DMO has played better than 2Pat. I mean, I am not a 2Pat fan and didn't lose a wink over the trade - makes sense. But how the heck you can argue that he's not better than these two very raw rookies is perplexing.

 

right now, I would agree that patpat is better. But as you said, we could/should care less. The fact that this thread is still going strong means some people are really twisted up about it. The trade won't make a difference come playoffs. Sooner or later patpat was getting replaced. We opened up capspace sooner rather than later... geeez, drop it already

 

Ppatt is better than our current guys except Greg Smith, but he was so mediocre it didn't matter much to lose him.

 

I think the argument is that whether patt was producing better or worse then what we have now is irrelevant. His impact was net zero. We actually are preforming better without him. Doesnt mean that the individuals that replaced him are better players than him. Just that the team as a whole can preform at as high if not higher level without him.

Basically the upgrade of Patt over any of our PFs in not enough to even matter. So ditching him we landed something with a higher upside without hurting our teams performance in anyway...and actually statistically you can prove we have gotten better without him.

 

I dunno cxbby.........CH is pretty good an contextual statistics. where is morey in this area. Its the art of ignoring stats when they dont agree with your point and emphasizing whatever stat you can pull out your butt when they do agree with you.

 

That is such B.S. You called AB out when he was having his MIP season and was arguably the most important player in our first playoff victory in over a decade.

Before his injury and spiral downwards he was better than any PG we have had, even Lowry. Don't act like you knew he would get injured and all that would happen, that is just ludicrous. Lowry would never have gotten the chance to start had AB never gotten injured and our organization would probably be heading in a different direction. That being said, AB sucked and his attitude sucked afterwards so I have no problem with the fact he was traded. Nobody is nuthugging except for you, Lowry was one of the biggest team cancers we have had and I bet you probably wish we had caved in.

Hows that Morris doing btw?
