    Love is about love...sorry, had to channel my inner Bullard...

    Agree, he's not an emotional hothead like someone else who lost their cool in that instance....

    That's because the team itself can't decide if they want to win or lose games, and by translation we as fans don't know which way to root. Is this team going anywhere? Hell no. We're the new Pacers. We win when we shoot well, which is less than half the time. We had better make a decision by the ASB or even I am going to turn against Morey for not having the guts to at least sell off the expiring vets.

    It wasn't just because he got hit in the face

    1 play earlier, he got knocked down on a 3 pointer and there was a no call

    The play before that he had his hands up going backwards away from Ridnour and got called for a foul, sending him to the line

    That is a fair response, but at the end I would think we can both agree that Martin and AB are not a good pairing.

    I also would assume that we would agree that we are not maximizing our talent having Lee, Kyle, AB, Martin and TWill.

    2 of these players need to be moved with a frontcourt player to upgrade at one position. Not just for the sake of attempting to make the playoffs this year, but to better position us for the future, and to maximize the value of some of these players. Martin is likely the only player to maintain a high value at this current rate.

    Morey needs to have takers to sell them off......I think Battier has done a lot for his value this year, he has bounced back big time....

    Jeffries has some value....Yao's contract has value.

    I am sure DM is in his underoos at the office working the phones day and night.

    He better......he built this mess.

    Not satisfied tonight even for the win...I wanted the timberwolves massacred, make the Clippers scared of who they are facing on Wednesday. Now all we have is a 4 point lead on a win over the...ugh...timberwolves.

    Frankly I am just tired of the complaining.

    We are winning 50+ games a season, but McGrady is soft and people complain.

    We get to the second round and people complain.

    We make a trade and people complain.

    We dont make a trade and people complain.

    We win and people complain.

    We lose and people complain.

    We don't play young guys and rebuild but people complain.

    We play young players and they do what young players do, and people complain.

    Stop freaking crying so much.

    (yes I realize the irony of complaining about complaining)

    So he got frustrated with the refs calls and took it out on Love for accidentally hitting him whilst fighting for a rebound?

    Yeah good work.

    I really hope we trade Kevin Martin, get something for him while his value is at an all time high.....by the time this team is ready to contend, it will be like Rip Hamilton in Detroit....

    I hope Morey can move :

    Battier, Kmart, and possibly Scola .....though I really really enjoy watching Luis play every single night.

    So he retaliates it by pulling a d-bag move on probably one of the cleanest players in the NBA? As well as threatening his own team's lead in the closing minutes of the game? Stellar thinking by AB. *One hand clap*

    No. The league ruled the way the Rockets had planned for.

    If the injury had occurred after Nov. 30, the Rockets would have to prove that Yao would be out through NEXT season in order to get the DPE at all.

    Aaron Brooks complaining about not getting calls reminds me of the Seinfeld pig at the complaint desk, "I'm too short." What does he expect?

    Just get off your ass AB and start passing the ball to your teammates. Just because Adelman put you in the "Bobby Jackson" role doesn't mean your arms bypass your brain and initiate a catch-n-shoot reflex everytime they touches the ball. Seriously this is your fourth year in the league. Cowboy up.

    I am happy the Rockets won but letting the T-Pups come back and make it close? This team needs a killer instinct. Too many late game collapses and if the T-Puppies were marginally better we would see another loss instead of a win.

    I don't agree that Morey can be blamed for our current mess. Injuries have obviously hurt our team. But I think you would be hard pressed to find a move that Morey has made in the last couple years that has resulted in this "mess". Is Lee more valuable than Ariza. I think that should be obvious from a talent, cost and mental perspective. Miller has not been able to provide the Defense we need, but there was not a better option on the market. Martin was a huge increase over Landry and McGrady. TWill seems like a low risk high reward move. We are in a better position than we were a year ago from a talent perspective. We are just in need of an additional move now.
