Many/most fans are. Many/most/ALL? GM's are NOT. Why? Because you seldom even have the ability to make moves to put you in that position, and even if you do, injuries,bad luck etc. can derail them. What a team/GM CAN do is constantly strive to be better. You keep getting better, eventually you succeed. Better you are a lot more in control of. The Patriots are a perfect example of this. Sure they win it all many times...but why? Because they constantly look at getting better. The problem with championship or bust is...it's usually bust. Would you prefer your team to be bust, or be better?
McHale is currently available!! ;-) But you point out a valid problem with knee jerk 'throw the bums out!' mentality. You then need to get another bum, who is often worse than the one you threw out.
Don't forget, genius Morey created the current Clippers. Gave them all the tools to succeed in that CP3 S&T. Lost all of our depth there.
You conveniently ignored my caveats... which were (i) one step back (or neutral) for two steps forward, makes sense, and (ii) a dynasty is better than one ring. In other words, I'm championship or bust, with the championship coming as soon as reasonably possible. Clearly, if I'm the Phoenix Suns, I'm not calling this year a failed year if we don't win a ring, lol. Yes, it will be judged on a scale and relative to growth, etc. The Rockets are not the Suns, and have not been for a while now. They signed Dwight Howard 6 offseasons ago. The clock is ticking.
And just so we are clear, neither Dantoni, nor Morey are bums LOL so I donno what these dudes are talking about.
did you have this same energy when the rockets were on the verge of eliminating gs but yeah its cf's gotta b**** about something
0.500. May well be purgatory for most teams in the NBA. Especially in the West. But it’s whether we are on the up and up while reaching 0.500 or on the down and outs in becoming mediocre. On this note, yes. Many teams including the Clips are better and more promising than us. At 0.500 with large heavy nearly immovable contracts, I do think it’s pathetic that we are in this purgatory.
True, that was a bad one as well. He also passed on De’Andre Jordan for Dorsey. But there is always an element of the unknown with the draft. Not even SAS knew Leonard would be this good when they traded for him. They honestly thought he’d be a plus Bruce Bowen.
Last season, the wins (regular season) seemed automatic and the losses surprising. This season, the team's drop in performance seems out of proportion with the loss of players.
Complete bullshit Reactionary "Chicken Little" "Over the top player hatred" bullshit Let me guess . .the infamous 'eye test' says so What is a loser mentality is one that goes 'We won - but we should have won by more" "We won - but we need to win the 'right way' which is the only way" "we won - but . . .. we still cannot beat golden state cause I love blowing them and they do things the 'right way'" "We won - but I am not going to complement anyone because it is trophy or bust" "We won - but we need to repeat champions before I will give them credit: "We won - but we need a threepeat" "If the refs gives the other team 20 points CHAMPIONS SHOULD SCORE AN EXTRA 21 points and not say anything the REFS . . .even though the team that got the extra 20 points are the CHAMPIONS and PLAY THE RIGHT WAY." Dadakota . . .you are the biggest "I LOVE THIS TEAM BUT" Butt around here . .. . LMAO !!! DaDa man . . . . I seriously don't think I have seen you give a compliment . . .that is not back handed . . .. about the Rockets in about a decade Rocket River
yes, agree..that was essentially my point, but you put it more clearly. Which is why I injected the McHale reminder...and whassisname that followed him. Many seem to have forgotten.
