Think the last time I posted about the Rockets was back in preseason. It was obvious this team wasn't shyt from the jump. This was the least likeable Rockets team I've ever had the displeasure of watching. I literally don't like more than 2 or 3 guys on the team.

I wasn't on the board the last week of the season so I don't know what was being said but here in Houston there was a big debate between the "real fans" that wanted to make the playoffs and the "fairweather fans" that wanted the lottery pick that we'd lose if we made it. The argument was "well what if Curry gets hurt?"

Well Curry got hurt and we still got our asses whooped. At least we won a game right? Even clutchfans' owner tweeted about the organization's reputation taking a hit. This was the obvious only outcome to anyone that viewed this situation rationally. So it is what it is right now. I haven't felt bad about any loss from this series and while I'm not happy everyone is getting jokes off at the Rockets' expense perhaps America can shame this team into making the necessary changes. I'm tired of the low iq idiot ball we've been playing during the McHale era. It's a special kind of irony that a guy with Morey's reputation as an Einstein keeps putting together teams that play dumb as shyt.

Going forward, Harden and the cotdamn trainer Keith Jones should be the only ones guaranteed a job next year and that includes the gm. I really don't have a good feel for what will happen with fa other than thinking Durant ain't coming. We apparently have have room for two max guys but I don't see any available. Maybe money whip Horford but does he or anyone else top notch want to play with Harden after all of this? Harrison Barnes isn't a max guy. We have no first round pick because we felt the need to get culo blasted 4 more times. We have no coach and at least for now have a gm that doesn't value head coaches period.

Texans are the model franchise in this city. That's where we're at right now here in Houston:francis:

Thank god it's draft day:mjlol:

Not that it would have made a big difference but Ariza shot .371 from three this season. He shot .148 against Golden State.

His overall percentage was .255 for the series

Yeah I think it was Charles who made a good point after the game about him and others not being able to catch a rhythm. Ariza is good off the catch and shoot but too often he's forced to put the ball on the floor before he shoots which he's not as good at. Also, Harden plays like a my player on 2k that's worried about his score when he dribbles out the clock and kicks it out to guys with 2 seconds left on the shot clock. Ariza and Beverley aren't the types that can create their own shots in that amount of time.

SOHH was Bickerstaff trying to send some kind of message by playing Dwight in all the way to the end of the game?? It just seemed weird to still have him in there...

Not that it matters at this point, but it was just odd...

As soon as I saw that he was still on the court, I made the assumption that Bickerstaff wanted him on the court since he knew Dwight's career in Houston was winding down, so might as well just leave him on their for punishment :pachaha:

I saw a tweet a few minutes ago where he said that Dwight wanted to be out there...

:jbhmm: Not sure I believe that.......but at the same time, it kept him off the bench with the guys that he's said to hate....so who knows.....

It's fu*k them still anyway though either way.....

:lolbron:


:salute: to the Rockets fans here though, specifically @DonKnock @MilesTailsPrower ....... I hate your team, but you still good with me.....

Not a single superstar in the history of the league could escape criticism for shooting 38% overall and 27% from 3 as a ball-hogging #1 option. LeBron, KD, and Curry would be killed for this by casual fans and analysts alike. So either Heliflopter isn't a legit star and people are admitting as much by giving him passes every postseason, or people are being insane when it comes to this flopping and flailing bozo. And averaging 7+ assists a game is offset by his usage rate and his 5 turnovers a game. The entire team is a landfill. Morey "the genius" assembled a team full of malcontents and limited dummies; Fright Coward is a stiff doofball; and Slimbo Slice is out there looking like the absolute worst combination of Kobe and Iverson on their worst days on a nightly basis come playoff time. The Rockets have gone nowhere fast since Morey took over, and they're on their way to the same nowhere because the franchise and their fans can't be honest about the roster or the GM. That gutless Clipper collapse was the worst thing that could've happened to them last season, because it fed the delusions and vanity of those morons.
