Morey tired to assemble a winning team. The team is not winning. conclusion: not Morey's fault. Does not make sense.
Morey has put the blame on Rick "We made it tough on Rick." In all seriousness, Morey has said it's the players. He said some players arent playing up to their potential and/or the level they previously were at. Just one example but he did basically call out Kyle Lowry over the radio last week. And if you wish to hear him speak, tune in tomorrow to SR610 and/or check the BBS. Also check out the thread "Morey twitter thread" where Morey talks in <140 characters about the previous game and he'll tell you where he thinks the problems are or were in that game. And lastly, I hate to tell you but, you're gonna have to live with the generic statements.
LOL! If the team is injured? Who kept the injury prone players? Didnt trade them away? LOL! Morey supporters. Just want you to conclude to that Morey needs more deals to get to his objective or he has built a horrible team if this was the team he planned on winning big. So he can move on to getting his plan in place instead of waiting it out if this is the team he thinks is gonna win big for us. For right now. Incomplete grade until we get to the trading deadline. If there is another Kevin Martin like player and we dont need him? Dont do the trade. If we have a multi tooled player like Gerald Wallace? Go get him during the trade deadline. No more one dimensional players. Only multi tooled and superstars or near the level of Brooks at least in a trade involving perhaps Brooks or Martin. Something that moves us forward in its usefulness. We need defense and scoring. Preferable to have a guy good at both at least in a passable way on both sides.
Seriously, as horrific as this season has started, how about we wait for the team that Morey envisioned (including Yao, Brooks, Lowry, and Bud ALL healthy together) before mocking his wizardry.
I think we do that every season. Its fair to see. Hopefully that doesnt make us just passable enough to get a lower rounds draft pick again.
I think the main problem is the lack of two-way players. You need to be good at offense or defense and be decent at the other end. The only two-way player we have is injured. Morey picked up a bunch of undervalued offensive players, but didn't get enough who could play D. RA hasn't been able to find a scheme that can cover up enough of the defensive holes of the players. Our starting line-up has 3 guys (Scola, Martin, Brooks) who really don't know where they need to be on defense so they get caught out of position frequently, 2 guys who can't stop dribble penetration, and 1 guy who can't stop anyone in the post. Plus, no shot blocking presence, except when Hill is in. That's a lot of holes to plug. Morey/Ra have done a great job of creating assets out of nothing tho. Landry, Scola, Lowry, Hill, Brooks. These are assets that, given Morey's hand, would probably not been created by other GMs. We are still in pretty good position for the future with all of these assets. Hopefully we can turn this thing around.
Or, if you actually read it correctly: Morey assembled a team that CAN win games. Those guys aren't making the plays to win those games. conclusion: not Morey's fault.. Makes perfect sense. Morey has put the talent on the floor that can be in position to win every game this season (with the exception of tonight's game)... aka, he's done his job. Those guys have to make the plays to finish the games and they haven't. That's not on him.
I agree with what your saying but there is nothing wrong with expressing your frustration every now and then. But without yao coming back with no playing time limitations, this team will still struggle.
The team did not win, did not finish. They can win but why did not? they are the team from start to end. where is the sucking team from? Morey assembled it.
Just admit it something is not rite with this team It seems like teams are scoring 60pts by hf on us There's no go-to guy n the defense sucks
I mean? Imagine if he didnt make some moves? Not the ones he shouldnt have anyways? Yao Scola/Landry Artest Battier Brooks Think about that? We have a 54 win team still and the Lakers have no Championship probably. I think he should have stayed pat until the right opportunity showed up. Even given he would give away Artest? Yao/Miller Scola/Landry Ariza/Battier Budinger/Battier Brooks/Lowry Still a better team than this years I think. Waited until some superstar shook loose then waisted Ariza and Landry in the trade???? Brooks and Landry in that trade??? He did it all wrong in my view.
I'm still waiting for the Rockets to get "predatory." With the way they're playing, they look like the prey as opposed to the predator.
What? How is he gonna win games for us lose them anyways? The players he gets are either injured and losing or playing and winning. Mesh and still win through injuries or lose because they are one dimensional and need all of them healthy to win. Still his moves to get to that scenario.
