Yes. But I'm gonna cut him some slack right now. Coming off injury. Hasn't played for basically a couple months almost. And you could easily see he's still favoring his injured ankle.
Oh humanity, the person who controls the Rockets roster has an agenda. Our GM has an agenda against Brooks? How could this be? QUICK QUICK, LOOK AT THE STATS AND FIND SOMEONE TO BLAME.
dmorey At Austin Peay vs Morehead State. Listened to country music on the way to Clarksville to grock the environment http://plixi.com/p/64516088 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- He's probably scouting Kenneth Faried from Morehead State. #1 rebounder in college basketball http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Kenneth-Faried-5325/playerblog/
Can I be Daryl's personal assistant?? I would totally travel all over the country watching college basketball games and making travel plans. I haven't seen Faried this season... but he's "undersized" for you people at only 6'8"
We all have an agenda? I freely admit to having an "agenda" from time to time, particularly in D&D, but in the GARM, the vast majority of my posts are simply what I'm thinking at that particular moment, about whatever topic/thread I happen to be reading. Behind my thoughts at that moment might be experiences from years ago, or my thoughts about the last game. Behind my thoughts, and influencing them, could also be things happening that affect me outside of our little world here, things in "real life" that can cause me to react to some mumbo jumbo a bit stronger than I usually might, due to repressed anger about something else. Who knows? The vast majority of the time, there's no agenda, unless Leeb is giving Scola a hard time. Then there's an agenda. ;-)-

dmorey: @sportsguy33 I have also stopped quoting 19th century philosophers. Good times! Big test against new and improved super friends Wed.

dmorey: Next Wildcat up @pdpatt w/incredible job on the boards. Courtney/Chase/Brad led us to victory. 8th seed in sight Sunday. #happynewyears
We got Kentucky Wildcats, Arizona Wildcats and even a Villanova Wildcat. Daryl Morey is the crazy cat lady of basketball.

dmorey: 3 yrs ago C.Landry played 17 tot min b4 going 15 pts/11 reb in 20 min vsMIN.@pdpatt played 15 tot min b4 going 15 pts/10 reb in 25 min vsTOR
Yeah I thought about how eerily close their situations were. Watching in summer league and preseason made me think this could be that same thing for the Rockets that Landry was. A 4th quarter finisher. I said on here that I thought would be a better team because by season end I thought Patterson could be are backup PF and give us some of what we lost when Landry left. Scola starts Patterson finishes. Only I think Patterson is better at everything or at least has the potential to be better at everything with the exception of explosiveness to the goal. Landry has elite explosiveness. Patterson is just good.
