The main reason we suck is that we can keep our players healthy. We either can play Yao back to back and we we can Lowry is not healthy. Lowry get healthy we loss Aaron and Yao, when we got a little thing going to hand in there until they get back Chase go down. If you can't keep a healthy team. You are going to suck. Hope we can get Chase back vs Toronto, we need some scoring from our bench. we are playing the starters way to much.
I'm almost certain that were tanking. I wonder if the front office lets players know this first hand?
Disgusting is our Coach! Out Team is mostly Disgusting, especially Battier. Disgusting is our Manager! Too many poor players not worthy to be on an NBA Team. Bad trades made because Managements mistrusted of players of Landry and Ariza- for personal reasoning. One can see that our team is going to come down on their flats of their faces. Les needs to make a major rebuilding beginning with the team in 2011-2012 season. The team doesn't even need to offer to pay our star of last season Star of our Team- AB
I read somewhere that the draft pool is not deep in terms of talent... might hurt us even if we get high draft picks... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=195763
It's not even December yet there's all this lottery talk. Saddest part is the Rockets are giving good reason for such talk. CD cops a lot of flak on this board but one thing you can't take away from him was his ability to make trades happen.
we played badly with them for what, FIVE games...that's harly enough games to decide we can't play well with them. This team hasn't proven they can't bounce back with the full team. It's only proven they can't bounce back with key injuries, which would be the case for many teams missing 2 of their 4 best players and their sixthman off the bench.
I dont really know that much about this years draft. Usually when you have a deep draft like this last one was considered there is a weaker draft the next year. I hope we get lucky if we pick high. I am sure the Knicks or us will give us a good high selection.
When the trade deadline comes, the Rockets will do the same thing they have been doing for the past years, might pick up a small piece or nothing at all. Its almost impossible to get what this team really needs, which is a new franchise player.
Our problem is an inherent one. This whole team was built to have a dominant center as it's main scorer and defensive centerpiece. I really can't blame the Rox front office, you have a freakishly good player (being 7'6, with great shooting range, and outstanding FT shooting and rebounding has never happened before in the NBA) you tend to fall in love with how good that player is and want to build around him. But Yao will never be healthy. He had a broken foot and two foot injuries in the Chinese Basketball Association in his teenage years. He has never stayed without injury his whole basketball life. He is a one of a kind player but we have to move on. If they continue this saga without winning anything significant, it is because of the sheer financial interest his Chinese following brings. It won't be about winning a championship, but about receipts. (I can understand this from a businesses standpoint, but it will continually suck for the fans.)
Ehh, maybe. I think it's more than just one player that we need. Look at it this way, let's say we could draft from any team in the league and pull one player here, who would you pick? Let's say Kobe for an example. I don't think Kobe could come here and give us what we need, he is an offensive black hole and we would recreate the Lakers pre-Gasol. How about DWade? Well, we would have the Heatians pre-Big three. How about Kevin Durant? We would still be undersized, we would gain so much scoring but we would still have this Ole style of defense. All in all I don't think I can put my finger on what we need. I can't figure it for the life of me...
I think we have too many people on our team that are OK with losing. Courtney Lee Kevin Martin Jordan Hill Brad Miller Jared Jeffries Who am I missing?
Tanking after 10 games, yeah ok. Its not even December yet and we are tanking? Its funny to watch the hysteria on clutchfans right now. Slow start, strong finish, just wait.
