    Morey & Mike homers will tell you "They don't just spam threes. They have a (backup) plan! 3 >>>>>>> 2!"

    Bullshit.

    Won't be sad when Tilman fires their ass.

    Same old rockets. Nothing has changed still jacking up random 3s with terrible 3 point shooter.

    Morey is 100% going to get fired for this season and we finally go away from shooting so many 3s.

    End of an error.

    Clint boxed out his player but never goes for the ball bouncing right in front of him. Westbrook is sitting in the paint going for a rebound not guarding his player allowing his player to get a long rebound. smh.. there is too much stupid on the court.

    If Harden (or EG and House) were shooting better, it would certainly mask all this stupid, but he isn't

    I miss GG's instant offense.

    There is no chance for anything to change unless Mike gets fired. I haven't really seen a consistent offensive system yet. Read and react is good but you have to have some plays for when the cold streaks come.

    GG would likely be bricking out there as well. It's like a flu that everybody is catching.

    Harden seems content with trying to lead the league in scoring again.

    He wouldnt need to put up 40 a night if he really applied himself on the defensive end.

    Rockets love three point shooting, but they recruit a bunch of bad shooters.

    It’s not rocket science. He’s never been a good defensive coach.

    Then his own admission he doesn’t actually coach this offense.

    So he’s not doing all that much.

    He’s a coach that has had a few great ideas and rode them. He was way ahead on three pointers. As a result he was way ahead on spread the floor pick and roll. And then he said screw it, take my prior two things and maximize usage for whomever is great at it. And there you go. That’s his coaching.

    It’s worked... but league has caught up. Other teams now get better three point looks consistently. His great guy has been given so much rope sometimes he hangs himself. And it’s a year where he can’t fall back on defense.

    I think Morey will either make a trade or MDA will be fired before Christmas.

    EG or CAPELA will be gone soon. (My guess)

    difference is GG wouldn't be afraid to shoot if he was missing. let that sh-t fly and get back on defense.
