I just feel like JB has no idea how to use the cards he has been dealt. Brewer was never a great 3 pt shooter. Why all of a sudden we are so dependent on his ability to shoot those baffles me. Mchale knew darn well Brewer sucked at them. Brewer shot the three when he had to but he really focussed on getting to the open court and finishing at the rim. That is what he should be doing. Brewer needs to come off the bench where he belongs and JB needs to draw up the plans to allow players to play at their strengths. Morey does need to step in and tell JB to stop using a knife to eat ice cream. Use the right tools for the right job. Jb has no idea what he is doing with a big man like Dwight, finishers like Brewer, and dominant sg's like Harden. He is lost!
If you assume that he's smart then he would have to agree with that appraisal if not he shouldn't be GM at all.
He let the ones he had go, lol. But yeah he could have gotten cheap shooters before the deadline.... did nothing.
Finally! Just straight up fools in this organization. How can you insist on a style of play when the most simplistic stats tell you that we are a horrible 3pt shooting team OR GET SHOOTERS!!
Should be sending that video Clutch made or all those Vine videos in that thread to the league office. And the CHRONICLE should be writing about it. DD
Yeah, some one should send then Morey through his twitter account or post them on there. Maybe Morey can use them to send to the league but I am sure he has done something already, IF he has not then shame on him.
Well maybe he is just not that good - this is the team he built, the coach he hired, the players he signed...... DD
Well, he created this roster. Presumably, he likes the players on it or he wouldn't have signed them or traded for them. You can draw your own conclusions from that. Personally, I think Morey's a smart guy who needs a stronger talent evaluator with him. His process is fine, but at some point you need to pick winners (in the sense of picking "winning" stocks) and Morey's stumbled at times, like letting Lowry depart, perhaps out-smarting himself on Parsons, paying Howard as if he was going to be 2009 Howard. He probably saw another Shane Battier in Brewer, but he was wrong.
Stop your b****ing. Morey did what he could. this is the same team that made the conference final last year. what was Morey suppose to do after that? break up the team? trade people away and get new role players? this team suck bc it doesn't have discipline. that's up to coaching and players, not GM. just bc u want a person to do something doesn't mean that they will do perform. By the way, for those to call for his firing. look around the league and see. how long have the Kings suck, Knicks, Bucks, Pelican, 76er, wolves.... not to mention those team got really high draft picks. Morey got us winning without losing or high draft pick. not to mention he has the foresight to limit ty lawson contract so we r not stuck with him for another year. In my opinion, he is one of the best but he is stuck with an un-discipline team and a bad coach. But there is alway next year.

Morey should get one more year. Let's see if he can hire a good coach. If the unthinkable should happen (JBB gets an extension), I will personally drive Morey to the airport.
He also put together the WCF team and drafted DMo, the x factor. Are you saying the Rockets need to use the guy he drafted in the late 1st round to see better results? If so then how can you say A) lottery picks wont help this team. B) he doesnt know how to draft. And C) complain about roster turnover and using players as assets, then when he resigns the first team to make the WCF in 20 year still complain because he resigned them. If he wouldve broke up the WCF team last offseason you would be complaining.
Morey being a micromanaging GM and telling coaches what to do (even if it's something so obvious like Brewer playing less) probably sets a precedent that most coaches aren't comfortable with. Morey needs a true yes man coach that will listen to his advanced stats and fully take them into account with every decision he makes.
I find it amusing the shots the rockets dont like to take, other teams will and kill the rockets with them. I dont see LMA or West shooting 3s, yet the Rox want Jones and D-Mo to shoot 3s. 3pt shooting doesnt = good shooting it equals range. Yet, the coach and management continue to force feed this philosphy upon a bad shooting team. The best shooter on the team is Terry and he's 105 yrs old. Nobody else is a good shooter from any range. Tony Parker just started shooting 3s, yet he's been very effective his entire career. So whether its Morey or the coaching staff, the fluke from last year didnt change my opinion of this team.
In 10 yrs under morey, they have 3 series playoffs wins. Thats it! WC finals and 1 other playoff win, thats it!
In the end, I know it comes down to the results, no excuses, but let's be fair: there was a little injury bad luck during the Yao / TMac era (although their quick bow to Utah that one season was a horrific joke).
