I think the fact that the Sixers have a legit front line made it his best. Raptors are a pretty pathetic team so a double double vs that team is nice but not that impressive.
Morey lead the Rockets down and down; Morey has brought too many soft players: Martin, Miller, Budinger, Brooks, Scola, who can defense?
Well, uncomfortable / pressured for the extra depth, and not wanting to be part of the announced trade.
Morey obviously told Chase to shut down his spectacular basketball skills until the trade deadline was very near. Then he could have the starting spot and play some real basketball. Pure genius
dmorey: Team W.64 trans.pts w/@Klow7/Chase reunion.Chase/Kevin w/combined:57 pts(79%)/12 reb/6 ast.CLee active D.Chuck/@LScola4 doing what it takes
dmorey: Best trade proposal from last wk: I have this foreign kid my scouts think is workin in afgahnastan for alcaida.I'll give u a 2nd to take him
Morey went to MIT and that's how he spells Afghanistan and Al Qaeda? I knew it's Twitter, but yeesh. I wonder who the player was, though. Lol.

It's been a while since I updated this. Morey has repped the starters a lot in the last month: Brooks: +++ Martin: +++++++++ Battier: ++++++++ Scola: ++++++++++ Yao: + Lowry: ++++++++++++++++++ Hayes: +++++++++++++++ Hill: +++ Lee: +++++ Miller: ++++++++ Smith: +++ Budinger: ++++ Patterson: +++ Morey's Twitter Log: Spoiler @LAL (L): Tough as LAL were beatable tonight but overall more good than bad.TOs, missed def assignments, fouling, &poor finishing (50% @rim) killed us @GSW (L): Need to do more to overcome hot shooting. Can't give them 2nd chances on their rare misses. Must make it harder in the paint (GS 77% at rim) DEN (L): Too many mental errors to beat a solid team.Poor shot selection&gave in on D w/fouls&off reb.We have strong competitors who will bounce back NOH (L): Our D principles require defending w/o fouling & strong D rebounding - we have struggled so far. We need transition or offense too difficult ... Just saw a cruise line brochure my daughter created for a school project that offers a "despair re-Iiving massage". I want off that ship! @SAS (L): Great effort. Have lost close games to very good teams (24-4). We need to build/maintain leads in these upcoming games. We will fight back. MIN (W): Executed the game plan for the W. Consistency is key to turn the corner. @yaoming progressing well. Ish w/32 gr8 passes & only 1 bad so far. @WAS (L): Need consistent play throughout game.Did not knock down open looks.Could not secure rebound at key moments.Early offense struggled to finish @IND (W): Rockets basketball. Defense solid (except rebounding). 39-30 transition points edge. @klow7 is back! His defensive activity was contagious. @NYK (W): Chuck D on Amare changed gm.Good ball mvmnt,hard cuts by Kevin/C.Lee,& 45 trans.opps keyed offense.Need to take care of biz @home Tue vs CHI CHI (L): Chicago paint D & transition D made offense hard. Our D got misses we need but our def reb let us down. Starters solid - bench got beat up. @OKC (L): Defense was the key - fouling without forcing TOs & not securing rebound when they did miss. We will continue to work to correct. @TOR (L): Had many good looks-most set up by Kyle-did not knock down enough. Reserves have to maintain lead. Fouling & def rebounding killed D again. PHO (L): Very tough.A few things to build on such as off reb& @jordanchill43 but not enough.Could not knock down gr8 looks set up by @Klow7/@ishsmith GSW (W): Team W. Hit 8/12 of our goals. Chuck off-season free throw work paid off tonight. Luis/Kyle/Shane/Chase/Chuck kept us strong on the boards. @CHA (L): CHA made transition hard-we struggle in 1/2 court w/o @Thirty2zero&@YaoMing. Wildcat O & entire bench gave us a lift - need all to W on road ... "I have observed that not the man who hopes when others despair, but the man who despairs when others hope, is admired..." -John Stuart Mill ... You know times are tough when I start tweeting quotes. Rockets fans-please know the entire org is working hard to get us back on champ path. OKC (W): Hill/BMiller/CHayes rebounding was key to W.Shane w/same pts as Durant in 10 less plays.@Klow7 setting up team gr8,triple-double coming soon DAL (L): Our performance very tough to take-entire Rockets nation(fans/players/coaches/mngmt)is in pain.Working to turn around.Brad was a bright spot LAL (W): Beat LA! D forced hard shots.Shane diff maker on both ends.Gr8 passing all yr by @Klow7/@ishsmith/Brad/Chuck.All>10:1 in good/bad pass ratio @MEM (W): Great job staying consistent all game. Off carried our Def. Must remain vigilant-every game in Dec critical. Next stepef carry Off for a W @CHI (L): Hard L but a solid 3-2 this week against tough opp. We need to climb back into the playoff picture in next 2 wks. Game ball to C.Lee tonight DET (W): Our best D effort of the year-forced bad shots, rebounded the misses, caused turnovers, and did not foul. Lowry/Scola/Chuck were very active @MIL (L): Could not knock down open looks. Bailed their O out with fouls. Need more energy on the boards. Luis/Brad operated well out of the high post CLE (W): B.Miller & K.Martin keyed the W. Our shot making disguised issues in our transition offense.Scola did all the hustle things you need to win. SAC (W): - @OKC (L): - MEM (W): - @SAC (W): Much needed road win. @jordanchill43 & Chuckwagon dominated the boards. Shane's defense frustrated the Kings. @GSW (W): Kevin,@Klow7,Shane(!),& Chuck(!) carried Offense. Chuck also w/big time rebounding night - he owns GS. D needs to step up for us to beat LAC @LAC (W): - WAS (W): starters consistently building a lead. Coach went w/a great closing lineup AB/@Klow7/Kevin/@Shane_Battier/Chuck. @Thirty2zero mojo returns. MIA (L): - TOR (W): Next Wildcat up @pdpatt w/incredible job on the boards. Courtney/Chase/Brad led us to victory. 8th seed in sight Sunday. ... 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 @POR (L): - @DEN (L): Denver dominated the paint on both ends. Brad/Kyle kept us in the game -- it was just a matter of time before they took control. POR (L): Aldridge tonight unfortunately reminded me of @YaoMing 4/18/09 @POR.Our 3pt shooting kept gm close, an 8 TO edge near impossible to overcome @ORL (L): - UTA (L): - @BOS (W): - OKC (L): - NOH (L): - @ATL (W): Great performances by @Thirty2zero/@jordanchill43/Chuck. Two critical home games coming up. Thankfully, all appears OK with @pdpatt. MIL (W): - NYK (W): Chuck's individual D on Amare was great but more important is he guards him 1:1 which minimizes D rotations &easy looks for the other Knicks @MEM (L): - ORL (L): - @MIN (W): - LAC (W): - @DAL (L): Our early TOs were the diff in the gm-too big a hole to dig out of. @LScola4 kept us in it. @Klow7 one of few PG leading team in deflections @SAS (L): @LAL (L): Unbelievable effort by@LScola4.AB&@Klow7 set up good looks.LAL D too tough in 1/2 court.We made it very tough on ourselves to get stops late @UTA (W): - MEM (W): Great effort.Shane(13)/Kyle(8)/Kevin(6) helped out-rebound MEM 51-46, the key to the W.@Klow7/Kevin/Shane/@LScola4/Chuck won 60-44 in 32 min @DEN (W): - MIN (L): - DAL (L): - DEN (W): Bench w/best game of year last night. Starters have carried us so far-only SAS&LAL&MIA better over 400 min. Better bench will yield playoffs PHI (L): PHI beat us up w/55 pts in transition. We had more opportunities but they converted.@Klow7 kept us in it.@pdpatt w/his best game as a Rocket @DET (W): - @CLE (W): - NJN (W): Team W.64 trans.pts w/@Klow7/Chase reunion.Chase/Kevin w/combined:57 pts(79%)/12 reb/6 ast.CLee active D.Chuck/@LScola4 doing what it takes @NOH (W): Incredible W.
