This is where you cats kill me.

The true contenders in this league have some collection of the top 10 or so players basically.

The rest of us fight for the scraps and try to make the best of what we've got. Houston was stuck in NBA purgatory post-Yao/McGrady and has actually made the best of it.

Hating on Morey is fine I guess, but at least do it with context. Morey stacked assets for a few years and it finally paid off. Sometimes it doesn't (and without Harden on the market it wouldn't have for yet another year), but hating on that strategy without offering a different path shows a serious lack of understanding of the NBA.

Unless you advocate straight tanking, which is also fine, but comes with plenty of criticism as well. Morey might have been fired by now by going that route.


Anyway, POINT BEING: Winning in the NBA is hard as fuck and Morey's strategy is paying off. So be mad, I guess.
