    Pippen is the worst Rocket by a mile. However, Pippen never brought a cult following to Clutchfans. That was his only positive.

    I don't know now. Last night after the game he said analytics/stats are good tools, but you can build a team with it; all these other basketball things go into it etc. I never paid attention to his rants against Morey that much before, but his "analysis" sounded reasonable last night.

    The chemistry bit and basketball skills players tend to lack on this roster tend to be the point of complaint around this forum as well. Chemistry and coaching, something Morey devalues, actually make chuck look smart now, at least last night.

    CAN'T. Except the rox.

    I guess it was Morey who got lucky earlier on because he had a character guy Yao to lead the way no matter who Morey brings in.

    Things went downhill after Harden's break out year as his head got big. Morey has no solution for it. (his own too got big too perhaps)

    pippen had to guard a 20 year old Kobe Bryant in the playoffs.

    this is true.... i dont think there are many POFs out there. He was always overshadowed and rightly so by Jordan.

    Cant stand how he committed a crucial turn over in the playoffs and then threw everyone else under the bus except for himself.
