I've been accused of being pessimistic, but this is just the reality. Hire a puppet to get the team to jack up a bunch of 3s and bully into the paint----yea I'm sure basketball is that simple. It doesn't take a genius to realize you pack the paint and run shooters off the 3pt line...even 6 inches behind the line causes a drastic drop in %. Whats even worse is that he wants to run 3pt crazy offense ...without a shooting specialist.


This guy needs to go, Mchale is bad...but he's the guy that hired Mchale to implement his bullshit experiment.


Enough. Its been 3 years I've been watching this shit and expecting the same outcome, and sadly I haven't been wrong.

I think you just failed to understand what i just said....Morey is the individual that hired Mchale...

I could pull the most uninformed observer and he could tell you Mchale doesn't do shit. He just decided to double Griffin...halfway through game 2. Last year he didn't double LMA and made him look like Hakeem for games 1 & 2.

If you don't understand that this individual hired this buffoon...gave him an extension after everything....and still think that he isn't just as much to blame...you're an idiot.

I obviously know McHale is a terrible coach, I've been criticizing Morey for not following his own progressive style and choosing to use an old coach with an antiquated mentality, I even made a thread about it a day or 2 ago:lol..

However, when your star player constantly chokes in playoff games, you aren't going to win anything..that has been the case for as long as the NBA has existed..the coach doesn't change that..

The issue isn't analytics, it's the application of those analytics.

It doesn't take a degree with MIT to realize wide open 3 pters and layups/dunks has the highest rate of returns, people in the 80s knew that, but it does take analytics to tell you how teams can work together and play together.

Morey has a very high-level view of things, more like a visionary evangelist type, but his execution is terrible. He doesn't even go by his own rules. He just goes out and sign random big names and try to make things fit.

There were no attempts to really focus on how players play together using analytics, and it really is a shame because it can most definitely be used that way.

His view of how analytics can be applied is very high level, and is missing a lot of details.

Who knows what happens when Paul comes back. Maybe he is still hobbled, maybe the Clippers become more predicable, or maybe he torches the Rockets. But, at least Harden finally showed up.

Smith has been good in the games he came through, but yes , by analytics thats why he is a "Fraud" as I stated in the title.

If you're going to run such a 3pt centered offense....maybe he should sign specialists like Korver or Reddick...and not focus so much on signing big names like Melo who chuck their teams into an L. Thats Le$ more than anything though, he thinks hes already danced the dance and doesn't have anything else to prove, so he goes after big names like "Mchale".

When has McHale been outcoaching Doc? He made zero defensive adjustments game 1 when Jones was getting abused by Griffin. And on offense, everyone was chucking up 3 after 3. It took McHale 1 game and a half to finally put Howard and Ariza on Griffin.

Doc has been putting out horrendous rotations all series long, damn near blew Game 1 with his bizarre uses of the hacking strategy (but got bailed out by his players), and allowed Jamal to chuck Game 2 away and freeze out Blake. Then in the press conference, he delusionally claimed they were "forcing it to Blake too much in the second half," suggesting that he's not going to rein Crawful in. He's been terrible.

Harden quitting, playing no defense, and getting exposed without his usual 30 foodstamps in Game 1 has more to do with the series being tied than McHale :lol

Please, he was a Yao and even Mutumbo injury from a title or two. He was the one finding gems and diamonds in the rough like Carl Landry and Aaron Brooks after Carroll Dawson set the franchise back for years by signing players like Cato and Maurice Taylor and holding onto Rudy T. way too long. The Rockets have always won more than they should under his watch and the 22 game win streak (10 without Yao, mostly in dominating fashion) and the 2-2 record (2 blowouts) after losing Yao in the Lakers series in '09 are testaments to that.

Caltex2

Morey's teams have history of winning with spare parts no matter what, he didn't even have Dwight for much of this year and doesn't have a PG not close to applying for an AARP card in these playoffs. That's why they should make it a Big 3 and have the best 3 players on the floor most nights.

That said, I'm gonna tone down my criticism of the Rockets, they may not play up to their potential but they still have a great shot.

What Dale is saying is that the Rockets have too many brainless monkeys on the team to ever be able to compete. You cannot have your star center getting thrown out of playoff games for being a douche, down 30. That's just stupid and he's been that way since he entered the league. He's fathered bastard children that are now more mature than him. Then you have that bearded faggot running around creating court celebrations instead of team chemistry. It's like a bunch of skinnies in Somalia. You can't coach that shit. You can only auction it off.

Coaches are hard to figure. There's not many decent ones available, and mixing it up with 2 upper tier players on your team with big salaries, during your limited window of opportunity, could be too risky.

Look at what's out there. The Thunder went to a college coach to avoid hiring a journeyman black player/coach. We both know that. You have Monty Williams, Avery Johnson, Jacques Vaughn, Mike Brown and maybe soon Derrick Fisher and I am sure I'm leaving someone out. Then you have Scotty "just go out there and play hard, you guys know how, just go do it" Brooks, Vinny "off the face of the earth "Del Negro, that faggot that was coaching SAC prior to Karl, have no idea where Nate McMillan went... and I am sure Steve Nash will be throwing his hat into the ring sooner or later.

Morey has his flaws, yet has this franchise the furthest it has been since Hakeem. Prigs was an underrated pickup. So was Smith. Capela was a good pick as he has plenty of upside. The team isn't handcuffed with terrible salaries. Also, switching Parsons for Ariza.

You have Monty Williams, Avery Johnson, Jacques Vaughn, Mike Brown and maybe soon Derrick Fisher and I am sure I'm leaving someone out. Then you have Scotty "just go out there and play hard, you guys know how, just go do it" Brooks, Vinny "off the face of the earth "Del Negro, that faggot that was coaching SAC prior to Karl, have no idea where Nate McMillan went... and I am sure Steve Nash will be throwing his hat into the ring sooner or later.

Pick one.
:lol a lot of them are lateral moves from McHale tbh, but a couple like Thibs (who also has his flaws) are upgrades. What this team is lacking is someone to discipline them and get a fire lit under their ass. That sloppy and disorganized play stems directly from poor discipline.

Morey has his flaws, yet has this franchise the furthest it has been since Hakeem. Prigs was an underrated pickup. So was Smith. Capela was a good pick as he has plenty of upside. The team isn't handcuffed with terrible salaries. Also, switching Parsons for Ariza.
Good points, and with the rockets as far as tehy are I can't say anything at this point. I really hope I'm proven wrong.

Kurt Russell did exactly that in "The Thing." Hire him.

Cato was a solid defensive big though, better than shitbag Yao at least.

J.B from "Big Trouble In Little China" is better.

The kids liked it, but, I couldn't get into it. I don't like screwball comedies.

And I really don't care for Russell in comedies. It doesn't work very well for him. Like in that movie "Cars" where he battled Jack Warden (playing a dual role). I see it the listings quite a bit. I never trigger it.

Oh I agree with the overall view of your statement, but there's something about this particular film that's retarded enough to where it works. I'm sure there's something in your vault the family just can't get along with. The mixing of old and new, the mysticism and storyline, John Everyman learning as he goes. It's terrible. But it just works. 9 out of every 10 these films will certainly bomb. But there's always one that becomes a cult classic.

Maybe I'll give it another try. What the Hell.

That red hexagon right on the FT line must represent the #1 shot to be taken by the Rockets - the freethrow.
