    His problem is that he's been butt-hurt since the Patterson trade. Oh the horror of trading Patrick freakin Patterson.

    Even if we don't get Melo or one of the Heats, we can still get Love or Rondo.

    Thought Spurs Championship would open FO's eyes ,but still blind.Spurs don't run out and sign superstars,they fine tune and get it right.Spurs are throwback, their top players are mostly homegrown.They Drafted Duncan,Mano,Parker and Leonard,even the big man.Of the teams to win NBA titles recently,Lakers-Celtics-Heat all won with other teams superstars.This is why I respect the Spurs Way,they built a winner.Maybe If our GM would leave the grapes on the vines a little longer we might have a better harvest

    Correct. I wonder why they don't do it but the Rockets do. I can't quite put a finger on it.

    I wonder what would've happened if Morey just built upon our core instead of doing all these trades and FA chasing.

    There's an ocean of difference between those two trios. All the seasoning in the world isn't going to turn the second one info the first.

    Once in the last 17 years. The worst mark of any NBA team other than the Raptors who have only been in existence since 1995. I said this a month ago and people can dismiss it if they want, but at some point the inability of this franchise to win even one stinking playoff series is gonna register with quality free agents. Can you blame Melo if he likes his chances better with the Knicks? They at least have been to the second round more recently than the Rockets.

    Our defense is a big reason for a lot of those first round exits.Eye test says simply hire good defensive coach. JVG got all he could,the offense failed.Once again should have hired a better offensive assistant not sell the car because it needs a tune up.

    Their is plenty of room on the SA bandwagon jump on. When we are in the running for a championship the next 4 years and SA is trying to rebuild don't come running back here talking about how great we are.

    Patrick Patterson was cool. Saw him eat his own boogers on live tv, though. Twice. :/

    1. Pathetic, incompetent, clueless head coach who is a bottom 3 NBA coach who has zero post season track record as coach, holds no player accountable etc.

    2. Not really a basketball city with all the circle jerk over an overrated team like the Texans and an egg ball city in general.

    Players don't like Morey treating then like assets. They want a front office that treats them right.
