    I wasn't expecting much this season, but now I really do hope the Rockets reach the 8th seed or better to shut some of these people up. I wish they would kiss the back end of a Rocket being ignited.

    Simmons:
    # @dmorey seems awfully defensive about his Rockets. Its going to be awkward when I pick them to go 14-68. I'm not gonna lie.about 3 hours ago from UberTwitter

    Morey:
    # @sportsguy33 Not defensive,just realist.Eg-I would not make quixotic run at being a sports writer if I once wrote"A.Morrison:love that pick"about 3 hours ago from web

    Simmons:
    # @dmorey, when do you think the Rockets will break the record for most shotclock violations in one game? Earlier in season or later?about 2 hours ago from UberTwitter

    Morey:
    @sportsguy33 if we brought the 4-corner off back the shot clock violation record might be in jeopardy.More bball history:http://bit.ly/73gKx

    I guess we can strike off Adam Morrison from any list of potential free agent targets next year.

    Now Bill Simmons is an 'idiot'. Good grief, he attacked Alex Kennedy of Realgm for no good reason.

    This is why I'm going to--gladly--drop a few hundred at Toyota Center this season even when I'm well aware that we are going to be underdogs in most of our games this season.

    No one punks our G.M. and no one punks our team.

    After last year's run, they've earned a pass on an injury-riddled season.

    Uhhh . . . well . . . Let's see--the possibilities are endless here.

    Puppies? No, that won't work. Don't have enough pooper scoopers.

    Gold ingots? No, value's to high at this point.

    Treys? No, My shot's off, haven't been balling in a while.

    Hmm . . .

    How about wait for it . . . wait for it . . .

    Dollars.

    Sorry, would like to say G's but I won't be in town enough to make more than two or three games. But I will catch them on the road.

    BTW. Why the stupid question?

    Morey is the best and most down to earth Gm in any league. He's an everyman, the kind of guy you want to root for and he's smart. Anytime I've seen an interview with him, he's just seemed so original, humble and honest. He was a great hire. I truly believe he will assemble some great teams for us for many years to come. :)

    I'll tell you why I like this.

    Morey has got the swagger of a man whose cards are falling exactly how he wants them too. He knows his **** and is calling out ESPN on thier mediocre cliche insights.

    I LOVE IT

    My favorite part was when Daryl referenced Simmons' own book in a tweet back to him.

    Give up on an inknown commodity less than 1 game into the season? Not smart, Bill.
