    If geneticists spliced the genes of Charlie Weis and Bret Bielema, they'd get Daryl Morey.

    They aren't targeting the Rockets, they are doing what they can to scare players away from competitors. It's nothing personal I'm sure.

    Morey will have Durant in that room (Hopefully we lock him in a house and go with the Deandre method) and tell him that the Rockets are the better choice for him.

    What he says is 100% true. Cuban trashed our organization to try and get Dwight. I imagine much of the same thing will happen this offseason.

    Morey has always been fairly honest with the fans....I sense this is the first time where he is completely bull****ting. Sad to see to be honest.

    To be sure, Morey is correct that other teams are responsible for Rockets' bad press. You see, if not for other teams playing better basketball, the Rockets would not have been the proverbial dumpster fire this year. Had these other teams simply rolled over on the court, the Rockets would have won it all.

    The rest of the league have conspired against us, and they are responsible for the losses.

    That's not what he said at all.

    So is Morey insisting that Harden and Howard get along fine contrary to what everyone around the league is saying? Cuz I ain't buying it. Just watch almost any game this season and you'll see they and the rest of the players had serious chemistry issues.

    Yeah. But why aren't the competitions doing the same thing to other teams?

    When Dwight was shown on TV backstabbing SVG, the Magic didn't say, "Nah, that's the competition trying to bring bad light to us in order to knock Dwight away from the Magic." or something like that.

    Or when Kobe and Shaq was feuding, the Lakers didn't say that it was media smear stirred up by the competitions.

    Harden gets the Royce White treatment on the road, except one gets his own bus and the other travels by first class or private jet.

    They kind of do when they try to downplay the issues.

    Morey is throwing down the gauntlet here and it is a good move. The Rockets for all their flaws were not a garbage team, for all their flaws they are not a garbage organization. This quote in the article sums it up.

    I get it, people want to be emo about the team. But Morey being emo about the team isn't going to help the team moving forward.

    Morey is the James Harden of GMs. No personal accountability.

    It is stupid to blame other team on your own failure. Who would get enough time to do things like this? I do not think any other team would really care what Morey do, given the current situation of this team.

    A better excuse for Morey would be to blame Obama or ISIS. Obama supports Black lives matter movement which makes some of the players could not focus on the game. ISIS is part of the reason for the oil price and that affect everyone including NBA players. Damn Obama and ISIS, you let Morey down.

    Mauri is a master manipulator through twatter, media interviews etc and the kool aiders keep slurping whatever flavor he spits out

    Notice how he takes some responsibility (little) and quickly turns it around to deflect the attention to other teams and the media playing victim

    Notice how he constantly keeps mentioning we have a top 3 regular season record over the last several years but fails to mention our playoff struggles and not coming remotely close to a chip.

    He should be Sales guy for dollar store or discount general. He'll do a great job ensuring big time kool aid sales
