    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 bull experiment.


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

    blaming Morey when your star player is one of the biggest chokers in playoff history..

    getting outplayed on both sides by a White American shooting guard

    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 . 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..

    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 OP is blaming the coach from the 80s and 90s, one of the greatest players from that era..shows how much IQ was required to play back then, my ..

    His running mate Larry Bird doesn't know how to run a team, too..

    ^They've been making a run since doubling Griffin. Thats what swung the momentum.

    His biggest problem besides extending McHale is not acquiring a point guard at the deadline.

    Doesn't matter. Clippers got what they wanted in Houston. Rockets have to win in LA now.

    Rockets almost losing 2 at home to a team without it's star point guard.

    Morey is the best GM the Rockets have ever had but he's made some mistakes, such as Lin and McHale. I'm not sure what he sees in him but there must be something.

    Lol there is nothing besides being his puppet. Les Alexander literally said he signed him to the extension because he didn't want to hurt his feelings

    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.

    They really should be, but being 1-1 is alright. Just got to win won in LA. Every other semifinals series is tied 1-1, so it makes me feel a little better. 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. Should be fun.

    The concern is Ariza and Smith not showing up on offense. Jones still gets abused by Blake on defense.

    I've said this a billion times but I can only imagine how good this team would be if they played and cared like Rick Adelman's best teams.

    morey is all about analytics but in the end the only reason he had any success was because he got Harden and Dwert. all hail the genius.
