It is truly excruciatingly frustrating to watch him play. :banghead: One night he plays like a scrub and another night plays like an all star. Grow up fast Jeremy! At least he owns up to it post game and he has room to grow into a more consistent contributor. Hopefully the coaching staff and our stars could help him accelerate the process strategically and psychologically. It seems like he was trying too hard to prove himself. I find that understandable; if he plays looser and better soon after it won't be hard to forget this game. Also, do keep in mind that he plays real well each time Harden isn't playing and the team plays pretty well. That doesn't ring of a scrub TBH.

I don't think it's fair to fault Morey on the other hand. The team was in disarray and without the poison pill he couldn't have signed Lin and Asik. Being able to sign Harden and Dwight was more luck than anything.

Thanks for the honesty.

Ain't much of a reason to create a new thread for this.

The same "scrub" that scored 26 against Portland, the only Rocket that showed up to play against Chicago just a few games ago as well and scored 21? That scrub?

Please lock this. This is not that other thread where knee-jerk bashing of this player is promoted. At least it shouldn't be.

Yes, that guy, at least 80% of his time in Rockets uniform has been trash.

N yes he is a scrub for a 25 million man. This dude is not worth more than 1 million a year. When I think about the fact that he's due 15 mil next year, it makes me wanna vomit

Oh great...another one of these threads.

I'll save everyone the trouble and do the entire thread in one post.

1) Angry statement made with baiting verbiage

2) Angry replies from fans of said fan

3) Zap asks if we need a new thread for this (we don't)

4) Cue novel-length posts going back and forth arguing the minutia of player stats

5) Accusations of racism

6) Some ridiculous historical comparison. We'll just go with "no one has had it as bad as us since Stalin's ethnic purges." Has that one been used yet?

7) More novel-length, circular arguments

8) Multiple reports by posters against posters for slights both real and imagined

9) Some posters who only seem to show up when something bad happens enter the fray

10) Annoying thread gets locked


There we go. I've just saved everyone a lot of time and effort by running through the ten steps of this thread in one easy post. Let's not do it again.
