Kevin Martin says Rockets can't compete with Lakers and Thunder

Exactly. Of course they can't compete with them, but he's not suppose to say that.

 

It sounds like you're just trying too hard to criticize him. He's just an athlete answering a question, not a PR committee responding to a letter.

Sick reading comprehension. Clearly my point is we don't know what we have here, nor did we know what we had last year. and I consider beating OKC multiple times competing with them.

 

Hes not lying ....

 

everyone and their mom knows this. it's freaking common sense. why do you care? why does anyone care? why is this a thread? is this the sort of nonsense we have to look forward to? so what?

MOD needs to put a post-count/rep-level ability so that noobs can't create garbage threads like this.

 

Kevin Martin is a fu**in' wussy.

The nights we play the Thunder or the Lakers, he needs to stay home and paint his toenails

 

I think Morey would say the same thing.

 

Definition of non-story. Who cares?

 

Why are people defending Martin? True or not, you don't say that. He's basically giving up already. Weak mentality. Or should I say, thats TMacentality.

Seriously, if Tmac said this, it would be a 300+ page thread of people ripping him. Just because we don't have a contending team, it's okay?

 

Keyboard gangsters man.:grin:

 

No we know exactly what we have here, a team that can't compete with the contenders of the conference.

I hope it makes you feel better telling yourself that winning a couple of games in the regular season against OKC and missing the playoffs means being able to compete with them.

 

So you want players to lie and give cliched answers to all questions?

 

I wonder what would have been the reaction of Tracy McGrady said this.

 

If you think you know exactly what we have here you are delusional.

 

Quick, everyone reprimand a human being for responding to a question asked by the media. Then force said human being to issue an apology to be released within derivatives of the very media that prompted the response. Do this quickly, in order to further our societal woes. Be swift, as to reinforce the notions that the truth is only acceptable when convenient, that one's informed opinion should be mechanically scrutinized proportionally to his/her level of notoriety, and (most importantly) that sensationalized and irrelevant media is vital to the causes of distracting people from genuinely pressing issues and limiting the potential of the human mind.

 

what a consummate professional.

 

Morey said on reddit: "We are not championship contenders"

so that means we cant compete against the contenders to the title aka lakers and thunder.

so morey and kevin said the same thing, but with different words.

 

He is right though. Don't understand why people are upset. He said what McHale & Morey have said. In interviews and on reddit. Also what Lin has alluded to in interviews as well. Doesn't mean the team has given up.
