Scout to SI: "Rockets are one of the most overrated teams" + "Lin can't be a starter."

Don't know what's worse - his scouting skill or his writing skill? Double-fail.

 

let's win some regular season games before we start tooting our horn.

 

Yes lets, then some @hole will say, its just regular season games, wait till the playoffs... smh

 

We'll be seeing much more successful ones over "practice" ones once the regular season starts. Trust me. :grin:

 

this scout fails

 

if the scout that called them overrated was there then im pretty sure he was not impressed and is ready to write somthin like "Show me when it matters.."

 

Probably just lost his job as a scout lol

 

I stopped reading when I read this....

 

You're joking right?

The guy is a dumbass or he is still butt hurt about Howard leaving LA.

 

LOL Shaq had more of an ego than Dwight? Last I checked he set that ego aside long enough for multiple titles before splitting with Kobe.

1 season and Dwight decided he's done there.

"Parsons is a good defender but can be abused."

Geez, there's video of every player getting abused by somebody if you look at the season archives.

I like Bev too, but come on, he's says Lin is nothing like Nash but then starts describing Beverley like the 2nd coming of Nash.. hitting the open 3, attacking while also driving and kicking.

Comical, must be a Knick scout upset that team is going nowhere fast again.

 

Um............

 

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about things and I don't really disagree with the potential weaknesses and problem areas of this team. I think the faults of this team are well documented.

Having said that, I think this article goes a little overboard with being down on this team. Couldn't every playoff team have an article about their shortcomings written about them? I think so. This is a worst case scenario article, which MAY be true, but isn't that why people watch and why they 'play the game?'

 

How are the Rockets "overrated" when only 3.3% of the GM's are picking them to go to the WCF? Only 30% of GM's pick the Rockets to win the Division.

How are the Clippers not the most overrated team? They have the deepest team in the league and haven't done anything.

 

you are taking words from the content. he said it would be a good trade since we already have all star level center, asik.

 

Yes, if this guy was a professional scout, then he definitely flopped on this article as he failed to account whatsoever for young players' personal growth.

 

Excellent point there

 

Who is overrating the rockets though? Haven't heard many say we would win it all this year

 

Who the hell* is SI anyways? Who really reads them? Who says to themselves,"I wonder what Sports Illustrated has to say about this?"

SI is nothing more than the minor league for ESPN or CBS Sports...so I don't care what they or their "scout sources" have to say.

 

Awesome post. Scouts have their place in the league, but reading this article just really makes a person question how some of them have a job.

 

Yep. People don't like to be wrong about something. The Rockets and specifically the players on the team, have proven a lot of people wrong. They will continue to. Bring the hate.
