If you guys are still licking Morey's boots then you are a fool. Morey kept saying that hes been scouting [girls name] Lee for years even before Orlando drafted him and he finally got him for Trevor .... What have he done besides alley oops .... wheres the D hes suppose to bring and people kept saying oh he guarded Kome in the finals few years back .... The answer was because hes the best worse defender on that team ... Seriously Lee for Trevor (money saving) saying there would be a log jam at F spot (thus trusting Bud to carry the load) and not having Trevor fight it out with the 5-50 3s brick Bud (Butt time) even Bill said that during the game if am not wrong :grin: . Trading out heart and soul Mandry (closer, bruiser and 2nd besides Kome in 4th quarter scoring) l for a 3 quarter man (Kmart) Muddleman having Kmart, Lowry, Hayes, Battier and Miller in the 4th quarter with us losing ...... isnt he suppose to do that if we are leading? Only one scorer in Kmart but he disappears in that Quarter A NBA team can go only so far with calculations from the MIT graduate ,,, wonder why Boston let him go ... Doesnt matter if you good at drafting even at the 2nd round ..... They can only go so far ... I am not going to repeat again but theres enough other threads showing the teams above us and how we need to climb back up just from hell's hole to get to 500. Then duke for positions just to get a playoff spot ... and to be bounce in the 1st round again? We are not going to get anywhere with picks #13-20 every year thinking that theres always next year and theres always new injuries to Yao and the team. Stop wishing for a second if you guys think Yao would carry us to the promised land. Face the harsh reality, we should blow the team out now while we can and still can use that so called assets and trading chips that we have got to do something at least. Stop wishing we will trade for Melo and etc .... Star players are not going to come here after seeing our record and how the Organization have been treating past stars. Melo and etc would want to come here only if he think the team will still be good after being traded for him but thats unlikely. Start over from the draft and hope someone like Dream, MJ, Kome, Ledouche and etc comes down or way The Rockets organization have to think further, with these kinds of disappointment they have been serving to the community .... I am not going to lie i was one of those that we are going to have a breakout season and mad at them for giving us very time on little National TV. The fans expectations have been crushed thus far heck even the RPD lol for having to entertain the fans of a losing bad team night in and night out. Know i know what those NYET fans going thru last year The GM cant control what the stubborn old coach is doing, total disconnection between them and no preparation so far with the constant meltdown in the 4th q. Constant mistakes such as turnover and same mistakes are repeated and brought over to the next game. A good coach wouldn't let this kind of thing happen Cheap owner whos always been looking to be under the lux tax ... Good teams like the fakers have owners like Jerry Busch who is willing to spend it all and look what it brought him. I cant remember us doing so bad like this ever since the Steve & Mobley era when were tanking to get Yao ..... but we are this bad when we are not even tanking .... Yes go on with the Cool Story Bro and such but i think we need to face the harsh truth of the situation we are in right now. Heres to Red Rising and everytime Yao and I respond to watching Rockets losing a game this year .
can't read someone's argument when they start off with a joke about a guys name that a 3rd grader would use...
Yeah I've started to doubt Morey myself... specially when it comes to drafting I feel like Morey is scared to mess up, so he drafts players like Patterson, who aren't gonna take the league by fire, but aren't gonna be scrubs either.. Heck I'm sure if we were to get a top 5 lottery pick in 2011, Morey is going to pick the "high character" low ceiling safe-bet type of player, like Kyle Singler(SF senior out of Duke) over prospects like Kanter, Montiejunas, and Vesely...SMH
If AB and Yao were healthy we would not be playing 2nd stringers as starters. Losing AB was a killer for this team..... DD
Reality called and left a message for you, DD. They wanted me to let you know that AB and Yao ARE 2nd stringers. Let me know that you got the message so they'll stop bugging me about it. Thanks, guy. Thanks.
Really, that is interesting, a perineal All star, and best center in league when healthy and the most improved player in the league and the only guy that has swagger on the bounce on the entire team. Either way, I will try not to get in the way of the Morey bashing, I am sure he is the Tikki tabboo brought back with the Brady bunch from Hawaii...probably accounts for all the injuries. DD
Every GM out there will tell you that unless their teams are rebuilding, you do NOT draft potential over skill. Prospects with talent require a lot of time and, more importantly, playing time. Unless the team is in tank mode, prospects will just end up rotting away on the bench. There is a reason Whiteside fell into the 2nd round. Patterson may not have been my pick, but he will contribute later on.
This anger filled rant is written with the assumption that Yao's a non-factor, maybe because we did better last year without Yao. I'm not going to dump on Morey until we dump a broken toothpick first. You can't do much with your best salary cap player off the court.
WHEN healthy, huh? When has Yao EVER been healthy for a season, DD? Again, let's talk about reality...not hopes and dreams. WHAT HAS YAO DONE FOR THIS TEAM IF HE IS SO GREAT? When will he FINALLY stay "healthy" and lead this team ANYWHERE? As for AB...I'm just not a fan of 1-dimensional PGs. I want a playmaker...not a sometimes scorer with nothing else to offer.
Oh...btw: when was the last time an NBA "Most Improved Player" EVER led his team ANYWHERE? Can somebody answer that for me? Exactly.
This is his last year, and I agree with you about Yao. I think he is a scoring point who also has playmaking skills.....he is not a pass first guy, but we don't need one of those unless they can shoot, and we don't have that, so he is the best we have at the moment. DD
Anyone who thinks Morey is the problem should stop posting. Look at what he inherited and look at what he was instructed to do, build a team around Yao. We have no idea what he would do if he were owner of the Rockets and not Les. What's bugging some people is that Morey isn't making any panic trades that will gain us a few lousy wins at the cost of giving up valuable assets. To that, I say deal with it.
Are you under the impression that the rest of us aren't suffering through the games just like you? We all want what's best for the Rockets here, but we disagree on the amount of insulting that is required. Thanks for your 2 cent rant.
Come one be ralistic for once will you. Even with Brooks and 24 min Yao and no b2b we ® having trouble closing or winning games because of the lack of D as in failing to secure rebound and stopping opponents guards from penetrating. Heck we should have sing Ericka for size, i am sick of seeing opponents get tons of 2nd or sometime 3rd chance opportunity points.
Yes sorry my Engrish is bad i aknowledge it but as a fan we should be Universal and not look down on someone whose main language is not English. Just trying to voice my opinion. Theres a limit to one's patience.
Honestly, I am looking at Adelman at this point. Lee is a decent player but he is getting less then 10 minutes a game. I get match ups but dude is probably our best two way player sad as that is but, we played a recovering Budinger (who was struggling before the injury) more then Lee? I'm not expect Lee to be stellar or anything, but I can't imagine giving him more minutes would hurt given that Martin while great offensively could probably use the rest and Battier really isn't much better stopping people right now.
