Seriously STFU with this doom and gloom stuff.


My bad. But c'mon. Howard didn't want to be in the same room as Kobe, let alone play more basketball with him.

Next year, the big free agents are Aldridge (he stays), Love (LA or Boston or anywhere but Houston), Durant (no). I just don't see us getting better.

Not to mention, I'm starting to get over Morey ball. Lay-ups, free throws, and threes are awesome during the regular season, but it takes more than that in the playoffs. Aldridge, who is everything Moreyball hates, murdered us in the playoffs.

The Rockets tell players not to shoot mid-range shots because they don't reward you with as many points over time, but what they are forgetting is that mid-range shots open everything else. The reason Harden is terrible in the playoffs is because everyone KNOWS he is going to the lane, with playoff defense, it's over from there.

Losing bosh hurts but there are a lot of things morey can do

I am not a big parsons fan, he disappears too much for my taste

come on dude, his playoff PER is .5 points less than his regular season PER. He's a damn strong player both in the regular season and in the playoffs.

And he chose Houston over every other candidate.

It's easy to pile on right now, but we still have two top 10 players and $ to spend. It's not as if we won't be a contender anymore. Bosh would have given us the best starting lineup in the league, for sure but we still have options.

19.5 terrible is still way above average. He wasn't bad at all in this years playoffs outside of missing 3s. I don't think that's due to playoff defense. Most of his shots were good looks that he usually knocks down.

Dude has shot 39% and 37% the last two playoffs. That's a problem.

Right those are small samples sizes I'm sure I could find 5-6 game stretches in the regular season where he shot much worse.

I hope so. I guess I should wait and see how Morey salvages this. But I've been let down one too many times.

I'm hearing #Pelicans Ryan Anderson is now on the #Rockets radar with Bosh back to Miami. Would need to be via trade.

considering he shot 9 per game, it's a pretty big deal to shot 29%


two 1st round exits can pretty much be attributed to him the last 2 years

No, Lamarcus going HAM for the first two games is the real reason.

you guys need to pump the brakes.

Durant
LBJ
Love
AD
Cousins
Paul
Westbrook
Carmelo
Curry
Griffin (yuck)
Nowitzki
Jefferson
Aldridge
Duncan
George
Irving
Noah
Wall

All of these guys could be argued are top 10 players...over your two "top 10 players"
