hi guys the team is in urgent need for a change in the lineup we need really someone to make the difference and help this team it's become clear that we are going nowhere with the current roster the lack of a true go to player and a big man in the middle has killed us, and the team cannot survive even if they play as hard as they did in the beginning of the season i hope a major change will come very soon
There are two easy changes that would improve the team immediatly. 1. Start CBud.....either for Shane or Trevor - doesn't matter who, but one of them should sit, honestly it should be Trevor, but I think Shane would take it more easily. 2. Start Landry and sit Chuck....this would make us really weak on the post, but most teams do not have a solid post player, and on days that they do, start Chuck. We can not keep playing 2 on 5, AB and Scola vs the world..... When either of them has a bad game, like today, they struggle BIG TIME..... I don't know why Morey and Adelman have not put their foot down on Trevor or Shane, and cut their minutes drastically. When CBud is only getting about 18 minutes a game and is producing better results than both, there is a problem. DD™
Not sure why we are clamoring for roster changes in an off year. If we dont make the playoffs so what? We would end up getting a better pick. If we do, we are one and done, or at best, we make it to the second round. You really have to think things through long term.
This. Nothing this year is "urgent", really. All the disappointment came and expectations erased when Yao went down. Eevrything this year is a bonus -- they're developing a team starting in 2010-11.
This is a development year. There is no urgency. We're more than one piece away. If Morey pulls off a big trade, that will also be with an eye toward the future. I'm not saying to enjoy the struggles, just to accept them. We're a hardworking, undersized and undertalented team.
No need for a change Adelmans a hall a fame coach, he knows what he's doing I trust his decision to send our go-to player home. All this team needs is yao next year, and were going to take down the lakers.
id trade tmac for a bad contract plus lottery pick(dalembert,pick,filler) that coupled with rockets missing playoffs means 2 lottery picks. imagine what Morey could do with 2 lottery picks. whats better for the future, work hard and finish 8th and face lakers first round or start tanking and get a top 10 pick maybe top3 if lucky in draft? I hate the old cliche "only quitters tank". Whatever. Tell that to the spurs that got Duncan and 3 rings or the cavs with lebron about to get 1st ring. Tanking=good investment for future the way to tank is simple. dont play brooks or landry in fourth and this team will collapse
they WON.......i'm sure they could win five in a row this way and someone would still complain. They could have folded or choked, they didnt, be grateful for that..
All the more reason to start CBud instead of at least Shane..... I get it completely that it is a developmental year, but if we agree on that, then we need to be DEVELOPING some of our players a bit more. Starting with CBud, and possibly Landry - they should both be getting a lot more time to develop their games, and to make them more valuable as trade bait. Heck, leave Ariza in there, just put in a scoring wing with him to limit his shots to ones he can make. It makes no sense that we say things like "developmental year" and then keep running out there guys like Hayes and Shane who are what they are....if we are truly developing them we should be ....playing our younger guys more. Heck, if we are trying to win because they know Yao is actually coming back in March etc...and they want to just set us up for a playoff run, they should still be playing CBud and Landry more. Honestly, seeing Battriza out there night in and night out is frustrating to anyone who knows the game, they are just not quality starting wings as a combo....either one can start as the defensive stopper, 3ball shooter, and in Trevors case slasher...but together, they flat out REEK !
