You're clueless if you think Battier was some sort of problem, you could plug Trevor Ariza into that 3 hole and our starters would still carry him. Stats show that our starting lineup was exactly as good as before lol. Getting rid of AB however, that was a godsend.
We would have made the playoffs if it wasn't for AB. He cost us soo many games last season with his piss-poor play.
Yeah it was pretty bad. Dragic was amazing down the stretch, it was hilarious how badly he owned AB in the Phoenix game lol, it brought out all that was wrong with AB. Kinda made me feel bad for him.
In my mind, all the rockets need to compete for the playoffs or better next year is a legit starting center. Hayes is a good second unit guy, but you're in trouble if he's starting for you. He's just not the rim protector you need. Let's bring Hayes back as the backup to whoever Morey brings in. I have a feeling a trade will be going down before it's all over. Just too many bodies.
