SF Situation: "No. Other people are playing better. Other people deserve to play."

TWill has shown absolutely nothing support the fact the is, is borderline, or even close to being an All-Star. I really dont understand all of the blind faith that many of he squid supporters have in him when he has done nothing to deserve even stepping on the floor other than mopping up an injured CBud's sweat. This team has been successful because of players running his system and working hard, neither of which TWill has shown any desire to do. So why the heck should he see playing time?

Sure him sitting on the bench may be wasting potential, that I'm not even sure is there, but he is in no way an upgrade over anyone who is playing hard and running the system now, so he might as well get comfortable. At this point Im sure Morey realizes he made a mistake by giving up a first round pick for him, but Adelman giving him minutes that aren't deserved and can actually hurt a team that is contending for the playoffs is no way to rectify that.

Cut our loses, get TWill one of those prison chairs with leg and hand cuffs and lets move on from this pointless discussion.

 

You must be a new Rockets fan. Welcome.

 

I don't think it's really deniable T-Will is talented. He has talent, probably significantly more than Lee or Budinger. That is something which has been observed from his playing time, with his athleticism and court vision.

The problem is that he is not so talented that we're going to break Adelman ball for him. We did it for McGrady, and we would probably have done it if we had gotten Melo this year. But obviously T-Will isn't even close to that level, and he doesn't have the brains or the will to play within the system. So he sits. Which is a damn shame, but is ultimately his fault.

 

He must be really ****ty.

So I guess Morey just made a mistake with this one?

 

Morey does not make mistakes!

 

Very well said.

 

Did I say he would start? No, I said Lorwy would put him in his place and hopefully he could just suck it and play the system.

 

Did I say you said he should start? No, I said bad players always want to play with the good players. And fans of the bad players often say they would be better if they just had more burn with the stars.

You are completely thinking in reverse. Who cares about Lowry helping the bad players. Lowry wants to play with the good players. Wouldn't you?

 

I wouldn't say Morey made a mistake. He took a gamble that didn't pay off. It was worth-while. It's normal to think, "If this guy doesn't get his head on straight, he's going to lose out on an NBA career, which is akin to 72 virgins." Unfortunately, some guys really are that stupid.

I see T-Will continuing until he gets released. Then, he'll do the same with another NBA team, if they give him a chance, but sooner or later, he'll end up in Europe. Being a knucklehead, he will end up broke by the time he is 40, still complaining how nobody gave him a chance.

 

T-Will's talented. But he's really unpolished. We see players like Durant and Lebron and Melo come in and start immediately. But those players even in their rookie years were more skilled than TWill is right now.

Williams got free reign to play however he liked last year. But doesn't realize that just because you put up empty stats on one of the worst teams in NBA history, doesn't mean you are capable of contributing to a "real" team. He didn't realize that when Avery Johnson took over. He still doesn't realize that now that he's a Rocket.

Whenever he figures that out, and starts to work on his game, he just might be able to use some of that all-star talent of his.

 

To read his Twitter followers, you'd think he was Jordan+9000 waiting in the wings.

Free Twill? Yes, please do "free" him from his NBA contract.

 

DM: "Play some TWill and Thabeet, Please?"
RA: "No, no, they play defense but no offense, they no deserve PT. Me like offensive players that make me look good."
DM: "Give me a break Rick, you're making my trades look bad"
RA: "TWill in da doghouse, and Thabeet to the D-League."
DM: "I'm not asking you to start them, just give them 5-10min a game for some experience."
RA: "Bite Me."

We never get to see the actual practices, so nobody really know how TWill is playing.
It's all speculations, but I think this is what went down: TWill not willing to go with the system because Rick demand TWill to play how he WANTS him to play instead of playing to TWill's strength. TWill resists, TWill in da doghouse. So it could be faults on both sides for all we know.

 

Actually, if this were the case there'd still only be one guy at fault.

 

Guys, we must go by statistics, and the statistics say that in games that carrole plays we are 1-0. This guy is a proven winner.

 

Yeah, b/c Rick FREAKIN' Adleman is the worst when it comes to pulling the most from his players.

Srsly?

 

I was all for TWill getting his shot, he got it, he blew it. Seems like he's always looking to make the spectacular play, not the correct play. Dude has mad talent but right now, he's far too iso for my liking.

I wouldn't be upset at all, if the Rockets traded him in the offseason.

 

Coach wants TWill to play team ball like Lowry and Lee do and hard like the rest of the team, but that is not TWill's strength.

 

He got a chance to play his way into the rotation and blew it. The team's in the middle of a playoff push with zero room for error. If Adelman thinks other players are playing better, I'm inclined to play them instead.

 

When TWill was stealing the inbounds ball to Dragic so he could instill himself as the PG and iso was partly Adelaman's fault too.

 

Can any of us honestly say that's how he will play if given consistent playing time? TWill played 11 games only, 7.6MPG, 8 of the games are all garbage time, only 3 games of meaningful time. Maybe he was asked to play the similiar role of Battier at SF, D up and wait around for a shot...Sure he had couple lackluster defensive positions, but he played good defense overall 90% of the time as asked, showed flashes of his penetration and assist abilities, why do we only see the negatives?
It could be that TWill really sucked, but it can also mean Rick is not utilizing him correctly. I do not know. Just saying at this time I can't and wont judge him with such limited playing time Rick has given him.
