*proceeds to sign Josh smith**
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 le.
If you're going to run such a 3pt centered offense....maybe he should sign specialists like Korver or Red ...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".
Besides that, there is no secondary creator on the team. Huge mistake not addressing that at the deadline.
McHale's been outcoaching Doc, and you're still blaming him instead of your fake ref-created "superstar"
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.McHale's been outcoaching Doc, and you're still blaming him instead of your fake ref-created "superstar"
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
You know Morey is always trying, he just couldn't find what he needed. Hopefully the Rockets do what dynastic teams do and try to make it a Big 3, not just Big 2. Morey can create space for it.
I agree Harden quit game 1. As a team, 20 turnovers, missing 15 free throws falls on coaching. Bad habits, and it has been happening all season.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.

Rox don't need a big 3. I'd rather the team be 2 deep at every position.
Please, he was a Yao and even Mutumbo injury from a le 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.
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.
I still think we need a solid stretch 4...and the PG position...dear god Morey thinks they are ing PGs. Hamilton for AB was stupid a f. We had plenty of PG injuries that yr which should have been a signal for keeping him. Hamilton is rotting on a bench somwhere while AB is putting in meaningful playoff minutes.
Motiejunas was playing well. Also, like you say Rockets need a deadeye shooter off the bench, like Red whenever he is hitting shots.
Barely beating the Clippers in Houston without Paul and acting they're 2-0

Daryl Morey on who Houston wanted to face: "We definitely were rooting for seven games [in the Clippers-Spurs series]. And we could not decide who was better to play -- both teams are so good. ... But we felt like we might be able to make hay when [the Clippers' starters] aren't on the floor."
The Rockets look like . If the Clippers didn't get into trashball so often the Rockets would be planning their vacays already.
He's just being honest. The Clippers' bench sucks. You don't want to face the Spurs' bench, you'd rather face the starters.Rox GM on Grantland Basketball Hour

They quit when they found out they can't win on talent alone like they did most of the year. Clippers should finish it in 5.
They really do. Despite not having a bench or Chris Paul, the Clippers should be up 2-0.
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.
Easy, I think Game 1 was a wake up call. It took getting run off the floor by a team led by the Coach's son neoptistically (is that a word?) given a chance after CP3 went down to get their attention.
No. The team is full of quitters. Losing is one thing. Quitting in the playoffs is another. The only thing that should come out of this is people stop spending a dime to attend games.
That's harsh. What should come out of this is a coaching change. Get Adelman again. Knowing his luck, Harden and Howard will break down on him.
Nope. He put together a roster that quit.
He hired mchale, mostly so he could dictate the offense. Most of this falls on him. There is no spacing on the floor, the players don't know wtf they're doing. Been saying it since he fired Adelman, dude is a dumbass on a power trip.
That's a cop out for the black condition in this league.
It's chicken & it's pussy.
Act like a in' man.
