    What do you mean already?

    This is his 9th year as GM. He's the T-6th longest tenured general manager.

    Nobody really wants to admit it, but we just don't have the talent. I'm serious. We just don't. Besides James H., who else is going to score. It's really sad because we have such great fans including myself. I can't wait till the season is over with, so we can blow up this team. We the fans deserve better than this.

    I assume if we were winning this year you wouldn't be so quick to fire him. Im not saying I disagree I am actually starting to feel we should fire him too. I just would like to see him change his 3 point philosophy and hire a proper coach before Les lets him go.

    The Warriors Thunder is proving why even the best players need a great coach. That trap by the Warriors just sent the game into overtime. If that was JB he probably wouldve had them foul right away.

    Winning...in the playoffs? Maybe I'd back off or change my mind.

    Rockets have done plenty of regular season winning under Morey. Playoffs? Not so much.

    Jazz getting beat up and Memphis losing. The fifth seed is still somehow in sight.

    no, kubiak and morey are totally diff. cases.

    kubiak took a gamble on schaub and refused to sign manning. he buried himself with schaub. and this yr's superbowl win was on wade phillips' defense.

    morey is an above-avg. gm imo. but i have doubts about his moreyball philosophy and his revolving door approach of acquiring and developing talents.

    This is my biggest problem with Morey. To me he was one of the best GM's in the league until he fired Adelman replaced him with Mchale and then started talking three pointers and free throws.

    Howard on starting better: "There are no books we can read, no messages that somebody can give us. It’s about what we gotta do as a team."

    Harden: "“We got our shots, we just didn’t knock them down. We played with some aggressiveness in the 2nd half, but it was a bit too late.”

    Last year playoffs we won enough to get to WCF, not the REAL goal, but got close. Better than 26 other teams.

    You had me going until this. I believe this team can be really really good. They've proved it all year. Unfortunately they've proved that they can be really really bad too. I honestly think this team is good enough to beat Golden State in the first round. They just have to put it together. This is the Rockets after all. We never play well in the regular season.
