@dmorey On with Mark and John on 610 at 8AM (about 30 minutes). It would be huge if you listen in at: http://bit.ly/4xfZwm You gotta do this for me. I wonder what's he going to say, cause I've never seen him tweeting HUGE before
I thought that was you typing that. Was like who the hell is this dude that it would be huge for you. Then checked Twitter and saw the message.............ooops.
Joined in progress: Part 1 DM: Thought it was a great team effort have great defenders like Shane and Trevor but Lebron takes more than that, overall coaches and staff did a great job and made him work hard on every possession. H: Lebron had 43 the night before but only 27, and taking care of business at home, why are the Rockets so good against Clev at home DM: Our coaching staff, and personel, having Chuck being able to handle Shaq and Landry and Scola matching up well, we are a good matchup with them. H: Shaq - how does he fit in Clev? DM: I liked that pickup for them, but he seems like he is struggling with something, he is definitly not the shaq we remember, I don't really care how they do (LOL) but he has to turn it around for them to reach the next level. H: If you beat Portland you would have won 5 in a row, when he is not playing the Rockets he is fun to watch work. DM: Carl was matching him shot to shot, but with less than 3 seconds, you can't go to a big, Brandon came up big in a shot for shot game, with oden out they were focusing hard on winning that game. H: It seems we are taking more charges diving for more loose balls now, is that a part of the plan? DM: We lead the league in that by a decent margin, and last night look at Aaron and Trevor and Chuck, like 7 or 8, couple more they could have called the one on Lebron and Luis...got to protect the paint some way, and without Yao and Deke, that is how we have to get it done H: Overall where are you? DM: Defense we are still far off from where we are last year, on offense maintaining a level of consistency and get a good shot every possession, it is part of being young....in the 3rd quarter last night, when they werent scoring we could have opened up a big lead, but we were not doing that well at that time either. H: Number 1 sports movie - Hoops Dreams....going to break..... DD
Part 2 - H: Giving away a family 4 pack including an AB bobblehead (DD -needs this)... DM: Who was the head coach of the Pistons and the Rockets? H: Get it right first to win the 4 pack... H: Best basketball movie in your opinion? DM: HoopDreams is a great movie, any aspiring pro basketball player should watch it.....the other favorite basketball movie is Eddie with Whoopi Goldberg - LOL....what about the Fish that saved Pittsburgh...lol H: Top 5 that one is....LOL H: Yao went to talk to Z after game.... DM: I did not know that, they have been friends they have faced off internationally, it is an amazing story, Z was one of the most injured players in the first few years, now he is the all time leader in games played by the Cavs...good story. H: Jon on a mobile. J: I had a question about last nights game, and when Chuck Hayes got fouled, why did Carl Landry try to go the foul line, where they trying to trick the refs..... DM: Yeah, of course I remember it....if Chuck didn't act guilty.....we might have gotten away with it.....I don't know maybe Carl thought it was a technical foul...lol......Is there a difference between Chuck and Carl's freethrows..... H: Don Cheney coached both.....pisotons and Rockets...we have a winnner. Ocho Texto: Props to Trevor...he finally shot well. DM: That seems like a left handed comment.....do you watch only one side of the ball? Ocho...no I know he is good, but you don't spend all that money on defense only am I correct? DM: Well we want guys who shoot 50%...but every player could be better, but we are pretty happy. Ocho: We had high hopes for the Texans but they stunk this year, but you guys have put a band aid......would you be on Chris Bosh door step when Free agency starts? DM: LOL. Caller : I want to know will Tmac be playing this season DM: Yeah, he will definitly be playing...when is hard for coach to figure out when that is happening, coach has said he had a pretty good week, we will see, for coach we will see when Tracy can help us and when it happens he will get ou there. H: Is it the Explosion that Adelman is looking for our of Tmac? DM: He is looking that he can play the style that we are playing, and has explosion and will join in a positive way, and play every game when he does come back. H: Memphis, what is going on there/ DM: I was mad because thought they would make Clev mad after losing to them....but they were definitely tired...as long as Memphis beats everyone but us, I hope they do great. Darrel caller: I know the Rockets are playing well, hope to see them in the playoffs this year, in the big playoff picture, would the Rockets be able to add some type of big man to take on the teams like the Spurs and Lakers, any thoughts? DM: Always looking to upgrade, if we could find a defensive 7 footer this year we would look at that, unfortunatly those guys make a lot of money and are coveted by their team, we would look at that if we could. H: Being 7 foot tall is like being a left handed pitcher in baseball. DM: All things equal, you take the taller player..... H: Philly and Toronto. DM: Big Rocket fans know these next two game have been our death trip...we have lost in Philly and Toronto the last few seasons, we need to get those wins - get on the McDonalds 4 pack...4 tickets, 4 sodas, 4 hot dogs...great deal..... H: Thanks for coming on. DM: Thanks for having me I appreciate it. THE END DD
Nah, I don't think he sounds like an idiot at all, just a guy with a difference of opinion on some things. He hated Rafer...he was WAY right on that...lol. DD
yeah but it's the way he says it. Asked before the game, "Who has a better shot at making a basket, Trevor wide open from 3, or Chuck with a hook over a tall player 5 feet away? He said his money is on Chuck....that makes him look dumb. Plus, everyone knew Rafer sucked. Props for the work DaDa.
Yeah, fair point, but I think he was just being funny.....and my money would be on Trevor if he doesn't have to dribble the ball or move.... You're welcome, glad I could be of assistance... DD
Ocho texto sure gets around. How does he listen to two morning shows at once? That guy needs to get a job.
Thank you Daryl Morey!! Now we know the TRUTH Tracy McGrady will play for the Houston Rockets this season! Signed and sealed in the vault of Sports truth. Peace be to all Rockets fans, now we can be patient and let everyone do their jobs
Truth..... But at the risk of making this a Tmac thread, I did find it VERY telling that Morey mentioned "STYLE" of play when asked. I mean having the GM say that, sort of validates a lot of people's concerns that Tracy's style doesn't necessarily fit this team. I guess we shall see what happens...still interesting though. Well not everyone is right about everything...... DD
not so fast my furry little friend. Morey said T-mac will play but didn't confirm him playing here did he?
He said TMac would definitely play this season.... but he did not say definitively that it would be with the Rockets.
Speaking of Trevor: Is it just me or does it seem like he's been taking less "bad risks" going for steals of late? He still gambles, it just seems to me that in the last few games, there were fewer wreckless ones.
