    As usual, sports writer knows much less than fans for a specific team. They only read obvious numbers and make BS out of it.

    Wow, originally I just saw "Memo to the Rockets" and about died of shock. I WOULD need a lot of patience then.

    What a terribly reasoned article. I was just waiting for him to say that Adelman was making a "colossal mistake" by not starting David Andersen.

    He doesn't even address the draft picks that The Rox acquired. Seriously, how can he say the trade was a fail if he doesn't mention the most valuable assets included in the trade?

    Of course we are still unsure as to the draft picks' value until we see NY fall over in the offseason.

    I spent entirely too long crafting this dismantling of his article. Enjoy.

    I read that there. Nice job.

    That's just about the worst article I've ever read on the Rockets, just from the standpoint of the guy not having a clue about basic facts.

    Sure didn't take the guy long to delete it though. I reposted it anyway.

    Mildly NSFW

    Wow ... your post isn't there any more!

    That's completely uncalled for. This guy is basically spreading lies about the team and he's not even allowing the facts to come out in the comments section.

    Well said, except against Mavs, Jimmy the ball stopper Jackson was traded away for David Wesley.

    That Jordan guy is a total loser for deleting your post.

    I think this guy mixed up Landry and Hayes and thought they were a single player.

    I see his perspective but we still have a shot at the 2011 market.

    I would have rather not taken on Martin because he reminds me of a younger, second rate T-mac. But I can see what the Rockets were thinking. I think it's the small forward position that needed the most improvement, not SG per se.

    In any case, it's very hard to judge this team...with the playoffs out of reach these games are meaningless.

    As for the T-mac Yao era, it really is kinda sad the way it ended. They were such talented players who just were not surrounded by the right kind of guys.

    It really is reminiscent of Shaq & Penny.

    Who me? Don't get mad at the messenger, get mad at the person who actually wrote the POS article.

    Yeah, I'm obviously mad at you for copying and pasting this article. Why would you ever think that I would be mad at the writer, it was an awesome article. GTFO Troll ;)

    "Patience is a virtue"--sure enough, we need patience after reading that article by that ignorant writer.
