To subscribe to DD's rocket talk, log on to www.tracyhater.com. :grin: Just playing my man. Through it all, i appreciate your boldness and candor about situations. Great work and i'm glad your still doing them. I would give u some green, but for some reason after my money was sent i'm still not upgraded. Do it for the love and not for the green my man.
Thanks Leeb, I do em to show I am not as harsh in real life as my posts sometimes sound. And I don't do it for the green per-se, but it is certainly appreciated if someone wants to give it up. DD
Nice effort DD, always love the 'lowdown'. Would love to hear how you think DA and Taylor are progressing. Keep 'em coming!
Good stuff, DD. The only thing I have a problem with is the Ariza talk. I wish Rockets fans would get it through their collective thick heads that Darryl Morey has not just told Ariza that he can take so many long jump shots but that he prefers it. The offense would grind to a halt if he was as conservative as Battier. We've seen in past seasons that he can be a much more efficient scorer with a limited role but that is not what the Rockets seem to want, at least not right now.
Hey DD, THANK YOU for this video (and the previous ones) !! really, this board is lucky to have a poster like you great combo of energy/fun/analysis, really great Even in france we like your videos ! So keep'em coming (more often if you can!)
I agree on everything you said especially about the trade and the "developing the stars" strate. I would love to take that trade because i like both biedrins and Randolph but not so much on Maggette. The reason i don't like Maggette is because he seems pretty selfish when he plays (which doesn't fit our current style) If we do get him, i really don't mind if we can play him like a Von Wafer role. Nothing more than that. AB is incredible, Chase definitely has a great future ahead of him. AND CARL MANDRY.. he's extraordinary.. I love this rockets team. period.
Great vid, thanks for posting. Nice to see you talking as opposed to having to read your posts... Enjoying the vids...for now... [Stupid look on face]
Actually enjoyed the video, even though I disagree with some of the stuff. If you think T-Mac is a ball-stopper, and think Maggette is great, something is missing in that statement. I live in California, I watch nearly every Warriors game, and there's a reason why his nickname is "Bad p*rn." He penetrates but it aint pretty. Warrior fans were booing him until he started playing better as of late. But he stops ball movement, takes ill advised shots, and rarely passes. Not to mention he's a good defender. He frankly isn't that good. He's never put up stats on winning teams, the only year the Clippers make the playoffs and advance, he misses more than half of the season (32 games) and came off the bench. Saying that, I don't know if the Warriors would add Biedrins, he's apart of that Monta, and Curry group that I think they'd prob like to keep. But anyways, Warriors are apparently not interested. But regardless, we're all Rocket fans, and have to admire the passion even with the conflicting views at times. Enjoyed the video!
DD was really good in this video. Not many people would post vids, due to shyness, or fear of being flamed. Everyone has flaws though. Of all the people DD mentioned, that has the capability of being a real star, I think Brooks definitely has the potential. Not many shoot-first PGs would average 5 assists/game, but its just like DD said...Brooks is taking a chance, passing it to Battriza/Hayes. In fact, getting 5 assists off these guys must mean he has to pass the ball a lot, considering the 33% success rate of getting an assist. I still view Budinger as a "Steve Novak on 'roids" kind of player. He IS smart though, and with more of Battier's influence, will be a starter soon on the Rockets (and by soon, I mean like in 2 years or so.)
