In response to In response to 17


  

          

who don't come close to sniffing a title each year

phx not winning a title doesn't make discussing whether that style can work pointless

it was the hardest 13 minutes of my life waiting for you to post this
Feb 26th 2013
1
thank you, shells.
Feb 26th 2013

NOOOOOOO
Feb 26th 2013

i understand what agenda means. i understand what free means
Feb 26th 2013
5
btw Olbrecht turned down the C's to sign with us
Feb 26th 2013
4
beverly looks like a baller, too
Feb 26th 2013
6
      definitely an upgrade over TD
Feb 26th 2013
7
      Beverley IS a baller...
Feb 26th 2013
8
           he is.. if he only had 2 more inches on him
Feb 26th 2013
78
I like how you skipped the part where Morey likes D'Antoni's Suns
Feb 26th 2013
9
why wouldn't someone like those teams?
Feb 26th 2013

      point being -- the revolution in Houston still needs more people

      RE: point being -- the revolution in Houston still needs more people
Feb 26th 2013
108
           Seemed simple & straight to the point right?
Feb 26th 2013
118
      Maybe we live in the world where teams like to win chips.
Feb 26th 2013
12
           HUH NICE DUDE!
Feb 26th 2013
14
                I know we spent an afternoon arguing that point about a year ago
Feb 26th 2013
16
                One win a away. Still didn't win though.
Feb 26th 2013
17
                    
                          Well it kinda does, cuz a team playing that way has NEVER won.
Feb 26th 2013
59
                               so you're good with a 1/20 over a 0/1
Feb 27th 2013
134
I'm blown by the whole no playbook thing...
Feb 26th 2013
13
that was surprising to me, too, THAT I'd like to see in a 7-gm series
Feb 26th 2013
15
      the point is that golden state is lucky and not good.
Feb 26th 2013
18
      and Morey is a pig in shit cuz OKC wouldn't pay Harden the MAX
Feb 26th 2013
19
           LOL
Feb 26th 2013
21
           or maybe HOU would be 15 over .500 if they ran actual plays??
Feb 26th 2013
24
                so you're just spiraling into rabid idiocy here?
Feb 26th 2013
25
                     you're the one saying a team can only be as good as its projected record
Feb 26th 2013
26
                          and Felix Hernandez totally didn't deserve that Cy Young
Feb 26th 2013
27
                          (pssst -- I think you replied in the wrong spot, this is a bball post)
Feb 26th 2013
28
                               just one more thing in this post you need to think through some more
Feb 26th 2013
29
                                    baseball is an individual game, basketball is a team one
Feb 26th 2013
30
                                         you're being just as obtuse as guys who hold losses against pitchers
Feb 26th 2013
32
                                              you're comparing baseball to basketball, your faith is blinding you
Feb 26th 2013
38
                                              that's totally not the point
Feb 26th 2013
43
                                                   it is the point -- y'all are getting dogmatic about advanced stats
Feb 26th 2013
58
                                                        i admit hoops stats guys are in their joe shehan intolerable phase
Feb 26th 2013
70
                                                             I actually agree with both of these statements:
Feb 26th 2013
71
                                                             ok, sure
Feb 26th 2013
73
                                                             no one here is even that dogmatic.
Feb 26th 2013
90
                                                             That this post is a GM argument pins that historically pretty well
Feb 26th 2013
119
                                                                  add in NBA is capped w/ form contracts, it couldn't be less analogous
Feb 26th 2013
120
                                                                       Why are your words?
Feb 26th 2013
121
                                                                       it's a note to whoever is making it -- it's dumb + needs to stop
Feb 26th 2013
122
                                                                       Perhaps it would make more sense under a post which says so?
Feb 26th 2013
126
                                              I don't think this tells the whole story tho
Feb 26th 2013
41
                                                   thanks for this.
Feb 26th 2013
53
                          lulz (again)
Feb 26th 2013
31
                               I get it -- but the immediate dismissal of the GSW approach is comedy
Feb 26th 2013
35
                                    helllllo argument from anecdote!
Feb 26th 2013
45
                                    what on earth are you talking about?
Feb 26th 2013
48
                                         yeah, it's comically obvious GSW has a better W-L record than HOU
Feb 26th 2013
61
                                              a nice hello to you, mr. strawman!
Feb 26th 2013
112
           cmon. ur better than this
Feb 26th 2013
22
      they added a healthy curry
Feb 26th 2013
20
           that too.
Feb 26th 2013
23
can we wait until they're actually, you know, good?
Feb 26th 2013
33
that idiot should have traded for three hall-of-famers.
Feb 26th 2013
34
imagine what a genius morey would be...
Feb 26th 2013
36
      i wish I had the stat handy
Feb 26th 2013
39
He's been G.M. for that long?
Feb 26th 2013
37
      he was just on the hot seat last offseason
Feb 26th 2013
40
           This whole love affair with dude has a Lesson-head vibe to it.
Feb 26th 2013
42
           lucky=compiling stuff that other people wanted to trade for
Feb 26th 2013
46
           No, the luck was OKC being ultimately forced to trade Harden..
Feb 26th 2013
51
                except the rockets and people who understand advanced stats
Feb 26th 2013
54
                SPM isnt scared of math at all
Feb 26th 2013
62
                i miss the days of me and SPM riding that GOATWAVE
Feb 26th 2013
93
                Dude, I don't care about any of that.
Feb 26th 2013
68
                     But what's the alternative?
Feb 26th 2013
80
                          I know winning in the NBA isn't easy.
Feb 26th 2013
85
                               right? like HOU is the only team to ever discover above .500 ball
Feb 26th 2013
88
                               Exactly. And better teams at that.
Feb 26th 2013
91
                                    Nobody has annointed them and expects them to win it this year
Feb 26th 2013
96
                                         honest ? -- how different is this from what Don Yeltsin did in the '80s?
Feb 26th 2013
102
                               Agreed...kinda. I don't see Hou much further from Ind or Mem
Feb 26th 2013
101
                                    exactly, like his bad defense
Feb 26th 2013
106
                                    Man Indiana is definitely a contender.
Feb 26th 2013
107
                                    Indiana has had the 3rd easiest schedule this season
Feb 27th 2013
130
                                    save face on what exactly? everything i've said has become truth
Feb 26th 2013
109
                we had to put ourselves in a position to make that deal
Feb 26th 2013
56
                I dig that. They put themselves in that position by...
Feb 26th 2013
64
                     Now (answer to your last question)
Feb 26th 2013
76
                          Okay cool.
Feb 26th 2013
84
                               Why is Trob a headache?
Feb 26th 2013
89
                                    All 3 are talented. And super aggressive.
Feb 26th 2013
95
                                         I thought you also said something about trob being a bit of a headcase
Feb 26th 2013
98
                                              Yeah, T-Rob plays pressed and Royce got his own shit.
Feb 26th 2013
100
                They weren't "forced" to trade Harden.
Feb 26th 2013
63
                     You know what I mean dude. Lol
Feb 26th 2013
66
                     there was no "oh shit" moment, they had the HOU deal lined up
Feb 26th 2013
69
                          I do think that they could have gotten better for Harden
Feb 27th 2013
143
                     and they've done fine w/o Harden, despite what prognosticators said
Feb 26th 2013
67
                          I was never a "OKC IS DOOMED" guy.
Feb 26th 2013
72
                               I think either way they're good to be honest.
Feb 26th 2013
75
                               and in a capped league, production : value is a GM's job to determine
Feb 26th 2013
82
                                    You mean matches Harden's output in OKC, right?
Feb 26th 2013
92
                                         yeah, that's what I mean -- Presti replaced Harden in the OKC system
Feb 26th 2013
97
           it's a culmination of hurt feelings really
Feb 26th 2013
49
                lol
Feb 26th 2013
52
           This Rockets team is overachieving, period
Feb 26th 2013
50
                actually, i said they'd make the playoffs.
Feb 26th 2013
55
                     they will if theres no big injuries.
Feb 26th 2013
57
Certain Posters Humiliate Themselves...They Don't Need Help Doing It
Feb 26th 2013

Aside from the whole Rockets vs. GSW sub-thread here...
Feb 26th 2013
60
I don't...
Feb 26th 2013
110
You Realize That
Feb 26th 2013
116
      yes, everything is predicated on being able to make 3s
Feb 27th 2013
132
      all midrange is bad.

      Your examples actually help prove my point.

Why do people continually call Lin's contract terrible?
Feb 26th 2013
86
All the players you named are older than Lin too.
Feb 26th 2013
94
because they're knicks fans or dumb
Feb 26th 2013
99
What about the "advanced stats" tho?
Feb 26th 2013
104
his 13 and 6 is right around what hill and conley got $40 mill for.
Feb 26th 2013
114
      And they both got longer deals if I'm not mistaken.
Feb 26th 2013
115
           It's A Bad Contract For the Retaining Teams
Feb 26th 2013
124
                Why Knick Fans act like he isnt @ worst a tradeable commodity in Year 3?
Feb 26th 2013
127
                ^^^ dolan's personal accountant
Feb 27th 2013

Morey summed up Lowe's epic in five sentences
Feb 26th 2013
123
the overarching issue:
Feb 27th 2013
129
It's also hard to be a contender with a star
Feb 27th 2013
141
gotdamn some objective perspective!!!
Feb 27th 2013
131
      None of us Morey/Rockets fans disagree with that
Feb 27th 2013
136
           well how could you?
Feb 27th 2013
145
LOL I guess Bun B was on 1st take this morning
Feb 27th 2013

83 percent shooting is like letting 2 bill russells play at once!
Mar 04th 2013
153
      it's a solid starting lineup
Mar 04th 2013
154
           the bill russells are the 2nd and 3rd best defenders in that lineup
Mar 04th 2013
155
                i'm just worried they don't have enough offense.
