    I agree. Patterson has an ELITE level midrange.

    Dear lord, are we going to bump this after every loss? He was a ****ing jump shooter get out of here already. He was not a difference maker.

    I agree. I just don't know why Morey would trade him mid season and would damage playoff hopes.

    We could have used a few more ****ing jump shots going through the hoop tonight.

    yea it was a no brainer that we were weaker because of the trade but hopefully long term success off sets that.

    Its going to be a bummer if this ends up costing us the playoffs.

    Made up for it by actually rebounding. This wasn't on the PF position.

    His departure opened the for Motiejunas, who is definitely looking like the better player + tons of upside. I'd make that trade again in a heartbeat.

    Why in the world do you want the worst rebounding PF in the league back on the team? If you want Pat's shooting on the floor so bad then you're better off playing Delfino at the 4, which is exactly what we've done and its statistically our best lineup.

    Stop b****ing.

    Marcus hit a clutch 3 for the Suns in the last minute of the 4th quarter. Wish we had Douglas's D too....

    Don'r forget team chemistry. Rockets had strong team chemistry before the trade.

    He had 7 rebounds in 26 minutes tonight. Not bad. Same as Donuts, BTW.

    Long-term success?

    The Rockets haven't made the playoffs since 2008-09.

    For all this **** people talk about Petrie and the Kings - built a legit contender in Sacramento before that team basically went bankrupt.

    Morey inherited a playoff team - not a losing team. The Rockets haven't made the playoffs since 08-09.

    Morey does not get the benefit of the doubt if the Rockets miss the playoffs again. The Rockets are in the middle of the playoff race with LA Lakers lurking and the Mavericks right behind them. And you trade away 3 (young) rotation players? Morey's alway talking about "building a contender". How about this - how about make the playoffs? Because he hasn't since 2009.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.

    The reason Morey inherited a playoff team is because of Yao and Tmac...those two players do not play for the Rockets any more and pretty much retired in their primes.

    Judge Morey by the moves he made and solely by that. He has no control over if a player gets hurt and has to retire. He has no control that teams are also punished for not tanking.
