    I personally see nothing wrong in his comments. He's frustrated and wants to play. Has he gotten much of a chance to play yet here? No, he hasn't.

    And while we are on this subject....why hasn't he played much?

    Its not exactly as if the current makeup of players is getting the job done. Exactly what do we have to lose giving him 20-25 minutes a game for the next 10 games or so. See what he can do?

    He hasn't played because RA is a friggin dumbass or Bud's got naked pictures of him, his wife, and his kids, judging from how hell bent RA is on giving minutes to this waste of air, useless carcass.

    That's what I'm thinking, what's the point?

    What exactly are you complaining about?

    Would you want Hill to get minutes over Yao if Yao was healthy?

    Would you want Ish to get minutes over Brooks and Lowry?

    Also, your statement that Bud gets more minutes than he deserves does not compute with your next sentence that Adelman only plays our young guys when he HAS to. Your whole post is full of fail.

    99% of what is said through the media can be done behind the scenes as well but it doesn't happen. Why do teams plant articles to lower or higher a player's trade value? Why does anyone go through the media for anything that can be done behind the scenes? You seriously think TWill said that just so he can hype himself to his fans? Lmao
    The last thing I want is another player that gives cookie cutter and generic answers when being questioned. I'm tired of guys saying what everybody wants to hear. I want players to speak what's on their mind and not hold back. I want the truth, not some boring PR crap.

    True, but, someone on our coaching staff or team has to of let him know that he will play after they trade someone away(that someone will FOR SURE be traded) so he has to know he'll be playing in a few days. so why go out and say something? I think this will blow over in about a week when he is playing,(hopefully, playing well) so he'll get his chance and we'll forget about the complaints.

    He sounds like Vspan. Is that what you all want, for players to whine for playing time? I like Twill, but he needs to wait his turn.

    You must not read up in the NBA news. Its well documented that the Bulls have had high interest in Lee and the Celtics tried what they could to get Battier just today.

    The problem is, none of these teams have anything of value to give for these players other than their core pieces. If you dont think Battier and Lee are coveted players, you must not get out much.

    -Budinger has been a dissapointment this year and was a big reason why Ariza was moved out. He has struggled this season to improve, but thats not Morey's fault. FYI, alot of teams would love to have him on their team. He does the same thing that a Kyle Korver or a Mike Miller does but at the fraction of the price.

    Wouldn't go that far. Miller is much more skilled defensively and can handle the ball better, but as far as their "role" on the team. Role being the key word here... He does almost the exact same thing just as efficient, and makes 1/6 of what they make. Tell me that doesn't hold trade value please.

    FYI - I am not sticking up for Adelman here but -

    He has played Budinger and Battier over TWilliams because of their "role" in the offense. He knows exactly what they can do and trusts them to perform their jobs effectively.

    Once again, Im not saying they are better players, but they are role players. TWill is not. Adelman would have to change alot of the ways he runs his offense with the second or first unit, and anyone who knows a stubborn old man knows that CHANGE isn't exactly their favorite word.

    For the record, YES I believe Terrence Williams is more talented than Battier or Budinger. I say play him, but I UNDERSTAND why Adelman hasn't played him yet and I UNDERSTAND why Morey and Les don't get in the way of the coaches.

    No, I seriously think the Twill apologists are worse at the b****ing and moaning then him. Like trained dogs, the more he complains, the more those fans b**** and moan. Uniformly, he (and them) just don't get it.

    What Twill's interactment with the media shows is that he's still got a long ways to go as a pro athlete inside the court and outside.

    Here's the truth: most pro athletes don't care what you want, Twill included.

    I viewed it about the same, the same usual frustration talk. It's more the redundancy of him saying that kind of stuff and knowing the usual whining from the fans here for him to get PT that's getting old. Might as well talk about blaming Adelman....oh wait that's happening in this thread also.

    It's not like this team is going anywhere this year... the Rockets aren't making the playoffs.

    Might as well try and give him some PT in the 2nd half of the season.

    As far as him commenting about this, I honestly don't give a ****. People are too sensitive about off the court drama.... at the end of the day, it's all about basketball and what happens on the court. It's not like he's being classless.

    Im "complaining" that Terrence hasn't gotten a legit shot to prove himself since being traded to the Rockets.

    And no, I would not want Hill to get minutes over health Yao, nor would I want Ish to play over healthy brooks and Lowry.

    My first post in this thread talked about Adelman's history of not playing his younger players, and someone countered my point by saying that Hill, Ish, Patterson and Bud get plenty of playing time.

    The point I was trying to make in my post that was "full of fail" was that playing Hill, Ish, and Patterson was a result of starters' injuries, not Rick's willingness to see them develop.

    Budinger, as I stated, was an exception to Rick's tendency to favor older, proven players, and I thought it was funny that the one young guy he gave significant playing time to is now being turned on by many posters on this forum.

    Kevin Martin, AB, Gallo, Scola would give up 200 a game. Gallo is a taller Brooks without the handles.

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS WILLIAMS SCRUB HAS EVER DONE?

    This guy is a piece of corn on the side of a turd at the end of the bench!!

    Williams who??? Seriously I can't stand this guy and I have barely heard of him.

    He is not good enough to play before budinger. What does that tell you about the state of his game? A 2nd round white boy plays more than him and deserves to play more than him.

    We need to trade this guy for anything. I would take back novak matt maloney and serge zwikker for this guy.

    GTFO
