ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 2/20/2015

That's why you don't value flexibility over playmaking... We needed Dragic bad and should've offered Jones!

 

Pablo ****ing Prigioni won't be masking the deficiencies we have. I know it's just the first game back but if you think we are contenders, then you are delusional.

 

Wow good find and interesting analysis YoYo - we did trade a good number of our right handed shooters though in Canaan and Danies....and Shved too, I think.

Either way, that is pretty interesting, maybe the ball is spinning funny when they get it?

Isaiah Thomas may not be a perfect PG, but he would do wonders for this team. Who cares if he is supposedly shoots and dribbles the ball too much when he actually does productive things with the ball? I'd rather have the ball in his hands and have him penetrate than just watch spot-up shooters brick 3s or lose the ball after a couple dribbles.

As for being a defensive liability... guess who else look like defensive liabilities nowadays? Pat Beverley and Jason Terry.

 

What about just keeping Aaron Brooks?

I mean my gawd a 3pt shooting ball handling PG...to backup Bev.....perfect fit.

Or why didn't we keep Livingston a couple of years ago? I am not convinced our org can identify quality role players to surround our guys with....

Brooks has been helpful to the Bulls but he is not as good as IT. IT can really finish in traffic. Brooks is a great shooter and is quick off the dribble, but he doesn't have the kind of handles or finishing ability that IT has.

 

Knight was moved for Michael Carter-Williams (ROY), Miles Plumlee and Tyler Ennis. We did not have an offer to beat what the Bucks received. A package centered around a lotto pick at the end of the lotto is not better.

If you want to flame Morey for not picking up a reserve guard like Jack, feel free. But every quality starting PG was moved for more than what we had to offer.

 

There's a reason the Philadelphia 76ers (the WORST team in the league by far who are attempting to rebuild) traded away their young ROY. A rebuilding team... trading away a ROY... Let that sink in.

Miles Plumlee has been benched in Phoenix for a long time now. They will not make the playoffs. So, in addition to above - they got a big man who doesn't start on a non playoff team.

And Tyler Ennis who I don't even know thus can't give an accurate summary of.

If you think that beats a NO draft pick + say TJ - a starting PF for a home court Western Conference playoff team + what else Morey had to give..... Than I don't know what to tell you.

 

Will say it one more time... I'm soo ****ing pissed we gave mchale that extension. Rockets should have never let family come alongside business. I feel for McHale for the 2 losses in his family, but that doesn't mean you just pony in and give mchale a ****ing extension because of that. So not professional. You never involve family with business. We could have had a ****ing real coach right now. So ****ing pissed. I hate my ****ing life.

 

I watched the game late and as much as I love the Rockets they just don't have the players to even make it out of the first round.

 

I really want mike conley lol

 

Cmon man. Lighten up a little. It's just basketball

 

I take basketball and my rockets really seriously man. I really want them to succeed and I really want to feel happy about my team. I just needed to let my frustrations out. It just hurts me, man. Sometimes I take all the losses on me and I have no real affiliation with the NBA or the rockets. I feel like I'm the basketball gods messenger from the heavens above but I'm just failing my duty to help the rockets succeed.

 

Its the regular season guys...wait for the playoffs to start going crazy.

 

hahaha What?!

 

Would you have wanted the Rockets to give up that much, or some combination thereof, for Knight, I. Thomas or someone of that quality? I wouldn't.

 

What's up with DMo's lack of playing time? He's clearly the best big man on the team and now he's just one of the guys now that TJones is back? Silly McHale

 

Same reason he never played Isaiah Canaan. Willful blindness. Or innocent stupidity. Either way.

 

Watch Canaan and Cov blow up in Philly now. 76ers might as well get Troy Daniels to complete the reunion

 

Meh, in the end we lost by 11 points on the road without Dwight. I'd like to think Dwight makes an 11 point difference compared to starting Dorsey and others.
