Front runner control freak egomaniac. In what world does this happened? No wonder his ****** is on his phone. Up the micromanaging a bit and give JB a walkie talkie wont you! Where are the delusional Morey fans?
We did it to start the 3rd Quarter, because fans were still at the concessions stands. D'uh. The Front Office ran analytics on it, and decided that was the best way to get people to stay at the concessions longer.
We have been such a joke on media outlets today, I wish we could have at least pulled out the win to look less pathetic
so it ultimately didn't work, if the goal is to win the game. im not surprised they couldn't finish it off when they spent a whole quarter just fouling instead of playing basketball.
My light just turned on. Front office suggested it and then Moreys says on the 790 show he doesnt believe in it? What in the **** is going on. #busted#twilightzone#whytfyoulying#dindunuffin
But Coach...I don't want to forever be in the record books as the player who fouled out the quickest. OK, son. But give me 5.
off ball fouls are garbage and the league needs to take them out of the game. the ways to exploit the terrible rules regarding off ball fouls are numerous and have barely been explored thank god
It doesn't generally seem like it worked. But it's hard to say it didn't work last night. Per the eye test (watching) and the game flow - http://popcornmachine.net/gf?date=20160120&game=DETHOU - it seemed like it kind of worked... And of course, the players have no right complaining about being "cold" defensively (or offensively) after such a strategy. The main reason said tactic is employed is because you're not up by 10+ like you should be if you actually put forth the effort required to play consistently decent defense...
Hey! I made that joke in the game thread at the time (when all the people were still wandering back to their seats)
The major problem (for me) with the strategy is that we simply didnt have enough fouls to make it work. Too many guys unavailable, should have waited until the 4th to do it....
It worked, just couldn't play any d once we got back in front. Also in the end not enough fouls to give.
lol - I've often wanted to be blissfully ignorant of the world. You know, the farmer type that isn't aware of anything other than his crop and his family. Then I read your posts and realize that ignorance is a plague and that my scenario could never exist because that farmer is well aware of his surroundings and the impacts, by definition he is not ignorant at all - the truly ignorant are those that have found a way to navigate the world yet pollute it with their ill conceived opinions that lack a foundation in reality and fact. the concept of hack a whomever working is not defined by whether a team wins or loses. It is defined by whether the team employing the strategy was able to get back into the game. Given that the rockets absolutely got back into the game - by definition, it worked. their inability to defend and play together is what cost them the win.
how about teams start playing defense instead of doing this hack-a-player stuff? as a rockets fan this was embarrassing, they used this strategy and still lost
If I were KJ, I would have refused and chose to sit! This is no way to treat me. Or at least after 5 fouls, let him play. He cant be worse than TJ! If humiliating yourself to take 5 fouls in 10 seconds is not enough to gain some playing time, I do not know what is...
