    did you just start watching Rockets this season? were you aware CP3, Capela and Gordon took turns and were injured along with Nene and others for a good portion of the season? can you atleast wait and see how a healthy team responds after adding couple of players via buy outs. Faried, Rivers, Kief and Danuel House and i'm ready to go to war instead of crying.

    Imagine being cut and losing your job, going out in the bar to have a drink and being beaten by a teenager at your own craft.

    We are waiting and seeing no matter what. Should we all stop posting or in the meantime can I reply with my opinion when someone says it has been a good season for roster moves?

    Yet another rhetorical shift. I think the issue is that we're here to discuss actual game action and roster moves, not sharpen debate-escape strategies and shift the goal posts on whether it's reasonable to be content with the current situation.

    You're just being the mole in a game of whack-a-mole right now.

    Alex Abrines has been released. What was the point?
    Didnt they already have an open roster spot?

    Well it worked out for him. The Rockets resigned him later on the same season.

    He obviously would have smoked me if we played an actual game. I was just a kid from Indiana who lived and breathed basketball from birth. That was my 15 min.

    I am openly (and said as much) escaping these replies because it's me replying to 6 guys sending me Tilman's talking points. That looks like me flooding the thread. I'm tired of this silly narrative being tossed around. Been through it as a fan, was hugely optimistic about this season and last, and I am one of Morey's biggest fans. I just think this strategy clearly dictated by the owner is doomed to being decided by luck.

    And, true too, he played p/u @a 24 hour gym off Bissonette; we were always on the same team. Yes, super nice guy. Played @66.67 speed (still a wee faster than I).

    I hope I am overreacting. We'll see when we get to the playoffs. You make some good points about about the changes ahead next season.

    There are rumors that Zach Randolph is heading to the Warriors.

    Morey probably didn't trade for a center thinking that a decent big would get bought out like DeAndre Jordan or Robin Lopez.

    Inexplicably, those terrible teams (Knicks and Bulls) are keeping both, and we're still without a legit center in the rotation. More bad luck for Morey.

    We don't need another center, we have Capela, Faried, and occasionally Nene.

    Faried is not a center, and Nene is too old. We need a legit backup C
