By reilo Go To PostSmokey been holding this for two weeks, damn. He's more bothered than I am lmao.
I do not want MDA extended. Simple. And seeing this shit pop up is fuking with me.
Those are weird parameters. Guess none of us should say anything cause lets be real much of the league is sad sack GMs playing short and fast games and having existential crises about the Warriors with dumb as fuck lateral (or even downgrade) moves instead of building up on solid foundations.

Morey is the only one with the balls to say we're *trying* to beat the Warriors. I prefer that than laying down all year like masud and catching the 3rd pick.
I do not approve of MDA possibly being extended tho. Just don't
By Smokey Go To PostYou don't see me caping for nic batum when he fails repeatedly year after year but you got it fam
You don't get to talk about other GMs and players when yours drafted Miles Bridges and can't make the playoffs in the East, and about to lose Kemba breh. It might be a good defense mechanism, but no.
Seeing Portland swept didn't heal you like you thought it would huh
By reilo Go To PostSmokey been holding this for two weeks, damn. He's more bothered than I am lmao.Shit came right to the surface lol. Seeing Curry fuck around with the Harden step back for giggles in overtime just too much

Portland is such an after thought that literally nobody is talking about them today. It's Portland. Everybody called it in 3.
By Smokey Go To PostMorey is the only one with the balls to say we're *trying* to beat the Warriors. I prefer that than laying down all year like masud and catching the 3rd pick.You don't suppose it's the fact that you ran into a dynastic team as the reason you lost? A team that is just better player personnel wise?
I do not approve of MDA possibly being extended tho. Just don't
A team, btw, that has considered you the hardest out over the last 2 years. Houston has been the 2nd / 3rd best team the last few years.
If Houston had Draymond instead of Capella, they probably chip.

MDA. I'm telling yall. He gets extended he's getting the McHale treatment and is gone in 1.5 years.
So save money and don't do it

Let the healing begin, friend. Thought missing 27 threes would've done it. Thought watching Josh Smith carry would make it clear. Losing to the LMA Spurs. Now you ran it back without KD and still lost and they really ain't even try either.
Edit: Dray is useless in Houston lol. Dude can't roll straight to the rim for shit and can't shoot. Wtf

By reilo Go To PostAnd that was an aberration, too. That Lakers team was trash af, too. Who else was gonna take those shots? Jordan Clarkson?
He was coming off the bench 50% of the season.
Doesn't really matter who Houston picks up you work in Morey's system of feed Harden the ball and fuck yourself. If he's not on the floor you chuck 3s.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostHow dare you call Smokey a clown while peddling this shit./me shrug
I mightn't like the nut punchers on court antics. But he's proven the last few why he was the 3rd cog in that chip team / 72 win team.
He enables your best players and cashes in on many many more of the opportunities they create. Compared to Capella's ability to ... finish a lob.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostHow many years of that shit isn't working until it makes it into the data pool worth reflecting on?Morey throws away data that says he is the problem
It's obvious that Houston has agreed on a proper scapegoat.
Now we'll know who's fault it is for not calling timeout to draw up a play for Austin Rivers

By blackace Go To PostWait 100% nerdball isn't working?
The Rockets play 4 corners offense in the NBA.. it's crazy
What works against the Warriors. Could you tell me 🤔
By DY_nasty Go To PostIt's proven to be the other way around. Unless you really think Dray is a max player or something.Oh, i'm not saying Dray can create offense. But he enables a lot. His decision making with the ball in hand ... sort of got lost in the collective mind set the last few years.
His ability to make a half opportunity as the pick in the PnR, turn into a good opportunity is ... really great.
Now that first half opportunity was only there because of steph. For sure. And dray can't create that.
By Smokey Go To PostWhat works against the Warriors. Could you tell me 🤔Then why you worried?
By blackace Go To PostThen why you worried?
Your implication was nerdball doesn't work . Ok. So what's the alternative considering that type of ball is the only kind that apparently makes GSW look vulnerable. If we didn't have MDA in certain spots, it might've worked.

If we didn't have MDA in certain spots, it might've worked.MDA has always been fully invested in analytics... shit the statements you posted about how he coaches say that. So hard to blame MDA but love Morey
By reilo Go To PostYes, absolutely, because he flat out told you that "statistics don't backup calling timeouts after an opposing team's run" right then and there. You think Morey is gonna disagree with that when they got statistics dictating shit like that?
Who gave him this evidence?
he must be friends w/ Roy Williams
By blackace Go To PostMDA has always been fully invested in analytics… shit the statements you posted about how he coaches say that. So hard to blame MDA but love Morey
You didn't answer the question tho
By Smokey Go To PostYou didn't answer the question thoYou seem emotional
By DY_nasty Go To PostDid Memphis play nerdball I can't remember 🙄
So now we going back 4 years . And where has Memphis been since that era.
By blackace Go To PostYou seem emotional
Asking a question to your statement somehow makes me emotional instead of having a convo . Ok lol. If there's no valid alternative, then just say so 🤷♂️
By DY_nasty Go To PostDid Memphis play nerdball I can't remember 🙄🤐
i thought d'antoni did about as well as he could with the roster he had. the rockets get really dire after harden, cp3 and tucker.
By Smokey Go To PostSo now we going back 4 years . And where has Memphis been since that era.Just pointing out other things work besides over shooting and over valuing the 3...
I mean the Spurs were in that ass until they put a hit on KL
Cavs weren't exactly all or nothing behind the arc either.
And we also know factually that Kevin Love and Kyrie ain't shit now.
Clips had that ass too if they weren't choke artists.

Lose Ariza
Lose Mbah a Moute
Overpay cp3 and capella
Harden and cp3 are known chokers
Choke against a KD-less warriors
Obviously dantoni and his short rotations are to blame

By s y Go To PostSo you're saying MDA transformed a g league player into a rotational player on a WCF team?
The great MDA who helped end his career by playing him in a meaningless game at the end of the year that meant nothing to the Rockets, thus making him unplayable during the playoffs?
Him?
I think Smokey has made some real progress here. Last year, he was all for that bullshit contract they gave CP3. Won't repeat that same mistake again.

But they sort of had to.

CP3 wasn't getting (couldn't get!) that money anywhere else. Didn't have to put that contract on the table, particularly so early. Morey was just dumb as fuck.

It's easy to say it in retrospect etc. But truth was, they aint had much choice.
any team that gives a player the supermax is screwed so thunder, rox and probably blazers are going to be stuck for the foreseeable future
By DY_nasty Go To PostFirst time all top 5 picks made the 1st team since 84
