So who are you guys going to gripe and groan about now with extreme exaggeration? (part 2: the answer)

So after reading the comments in the gamethread from last night and the recap I have found the answer to the man that will take over what Tracy McGrady and Aaron Brooks have passed down. It is the torch of hate. Hate that has come from once being loved. That love, of course, was conditional. On the condition that you literally play well every game you will be loved. If you have just one unimpressive game then you will be hated forever!
I am sure some of you know the man in which I speak of. He is a man with a worlds of talent. A man who's skill set is as rare as the Miami Heat beating an elite team. A man who fans have clamored for to be given the proper amount of playing time since his arrival in Houston three months ago. That man is, you guessed it, Terrence Williams.
So the guy has a bad outing and now his bangwagon is empty. I must be the only one left on it. I bet WHEN he improves everyone who left will act like they never did. They will act like they never said anything bad about him and they always supported him. And there will be those who say nothing about him and wait for him 2 have a good stretch or a bad stretch and say how that's what they thought the whole time.
I hope you guys stick with your frame of mind as it is now. If you got off the bandwagon then stay off and don't even knock on the door wanting to come back. We like to talk about true fans this and true fans that. I believe in "Once a fan, always a fan". If I'm wrong for that then brand me stupid but I still believe in T-Dub. Sure he looked disinterested last night but here's the good news, IT CAN BE FIXED! I don't think anyone who always plays disinterested has made it to the NBA. You have to be worth something to make to the league, right?
Anyways, I am disappointed in some of you to say the least. Maybe I am taking some of the comments the wrong way and I apologize if I am. If not then I stand by my disappointment in you. I am still on the Free T-Will bandwagon and I aint gettin off because of one game. In fact. I won't get off at all. I liked him at Louisville, followed him in New Jersey, and was ecstatic when we traded for him in Houston. Free Terrence Williams!

It's not one game, he's been pretty awful in every game he's played.
and this is coming from someone who was never on his bandwagon and doesn’t “hate” him. I really don’t care about the guy either way, just sayin’.

So, this is a thread attempting to call the board wishy washy and to puff your feathers?
How insecure are you? I’ve been backing most of what you say lately but shit like this just smacks of insecurity or immaturity. You completely miss why people are abandoning Terrence Williams. You call it hate, others call it poor play and attitude. The only people unable to see this are people who are incapable of looking past their fandom of the kid.
Here comes the truth of the matter. Terrence is not playing like he cares about showing what he can do in any playing time he gets. Every single second he has stepped on the floor outside of his first appearance has been a lackadaisical performance in which he’s content to chuck threes rather than contribute something valuable on his skill set. When he’s not involved in the offense he’s not bothering to cut, he’s not bothering to distribute when he has the ball, he’s either chucking threes or standing in the corner with his shoulders on his hips.
What compounds this to a toxic level is his twitter fits in which people blindly support him regardless of his clear lack of concern on the floor. He has a sense of entitlement that is only reinforced by his supporters that he is somehow owed playing time rather than has a duty to earn it in the minutes he DOES get. Jordan Hill was exiled to the bench for quite some time and guess what he did? He shut up and when he got time he went straight to work with the kind of game that he needs to play to get more minutes. Terrence just fritters his time away.
So yes, maintain your “bandwagon” of two (You and Bone will get along famously) the rest of us will watch as his attitude continues to suck and his play continues uninspired. Then again if you would like I can strike up a fanpost of every single poster on this board when they’ve been wrong on something so I can make myself look like some genius or some stoic. I am not that insecure though.

You totally missed the point
Don’t get your panties in a twist. I never denied him playing bad last night. I even acknowledged it. My point is many are jumping off the bandwagon after limited play and if he starts getting consistent playing time and plays well the bandwagon will be full again. It’s like him now and forever or hate him forever.
And yes this board is full of wishy washy people and I never thought you would be one of them. This is the same situation with your Jordan Hill and you stayed on his bandwagon but now you jump off T-Will’s? Sure Hill played well last night but playing bad is what got him benched in the first place. He was in the rotation fully whereas Williams was never in the rotation. Hill has had way more time to learn this system than Williams but no mention of that, right? Can you honestly disagree with anything I have said. Be real about it.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
I really can disagree with what you said because the system argument is a cop out.
Jordan knows his game, he wants to expand on it, and he has shown flashes of brilliant play since he arrived in Houston even when he first got here and got wildly inconsistent minutes he’d show well and poorly but he always showed he knew exactly what was expected of him. Terrence isn’t even willing to show that in the limited time he gets. Where is the inherent logic that says “It’s his limited minutes giving him problems. He doesn’t play well (intelligently) when he IS given minutes but we should give him more minutes.” I know I’ve answered this question that he has coaching to correct judgment issues and the likes but let’s face it, between his twitter bitching and his unwillingness to play HIS game, he’s not worth giving more minutes to.
I’m not a wishy washy person, if anything I’m one of the four consistent people on this board. I lost faith in Williams because of what Jordan is doing. Jordan doesn’t go out there and try to be a shooter, he doesn’t try to be a Chris Bosh. He goes out there and knows the team needs a big man to defend and play in the post. So when he sees the floor, he defends and plays in the post. Patrick Patterson knows this team needs a PF to defend and stretch the defense. So he gets out there, defends, and hits the mid range jumper. They both rebound. Even Hasheem Thabeet knew that he was out there to defend and he netted a great block in his junk minutes. He attempted a shot and wasn’t off by much, I have plenty of faith even in Thabeet because their attitudes are right.
Williams is supremely talented athletically. No one can dispute that. By reading his Twitter and seeing him in the few minutes he does get you’d have to be blind to say that his head is on straight. Those three youngsters I mentioned take their lumps and understand playing time won’t just be handed over. Terrence carries the attitude of a man who feels he is owed. System or not it doesn’t take much to understand “if you don’t have the ball, you run a backdoor cut or set a screen, not stand in the corner with your hands on your hips. If you have the ball and you have the distribution skill, slash and get to the rim, if someone is open, hit em’, if not, punish the rim or make the smart play. Don’t get the ball at the three point line and kill the possession.” Instead of playing to his strengths what we get with Williams is a guy chucking threes, standing around, and not showcasing what he has against inferior talent. He SHOULD dominate his garbage minutes, instead he takes bad shots and sulks. Jordan gets the ball and seeks to pound it inside and rebound. Patterson gets his minutes and he showcases what he has as an all around player. Even Hasheem got on the floor and understood what to do.
Call me wishy washy if you want, I just call anyone else abandoning Williams capable of sight.

You still miss the point
Sure he isn’t playing “his game”. He isnt playing the way we wanted/expected him to play. So does that mean we shouldn’t support him anymore? Does that mean he will never amount to anything? No it doesn’t. You like to run your mouth about being patient and you aren’t being patient with Williams. Mark my words, after one offseason with our player development staff he will turn things around and prove people like you wrong. There is not enough of a sample to judge him as a Rocket but I guess being unfair is what being a Rockets fan is all about. You can choose to see my point or not to (you usually choose to ignore points) but I stand by what I feel. When he starts playing well don’t jump on the bandwagon because apparently you don’t think he will ever be good now. You like to talk about short sightedness but you are being just that with the Williams situation. Give him a fair chance. Patterson and Hill were here in the offseason and were training for their roles and now they know them. Give Williams an offseason before you pass your judgement. That is what I am saying. I am not defending his sub par play. I am just looking at things from all sides and not just one fucking game.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
you're the one ignoring one point.
The guy has an unwarranted diva attitude with an unwarranted sense of entitlement. Patience is given when due and earned from someone. He told people to be patient with Aaron Brooks because Aaron earned it with his play last season and because the seemingly bad attitude was him being upset with himself rather than having a sense of entitlement about the starting job and minutes. Also, he wasn’t bitching on twitter.
And it is not about “ONE FUCKING GAME” but all of the games he plays. I hate having to drop the f-bomb but i felt that I had to quote you on that.
"I’m not a wishy washy person, if anything I’m one of the four consistent people on this board. I lost faith in Williams because of what Jordan is doing."
And what is that, if I may ask? Hills last 5 game stats 6 min avg, 3-3 shooting for 6 pts, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks. To be honest Hill hasnt done diddly squat, so how can you say that?

Attitude doesn't equal talent
If Williams is playing well then his attitude would not even be in the conversation.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
But
He plays like me, gets paid like a lot and has zero attitude. The way he is, if I’d be on the team, I’d seriously disrespect the guy. Basketball is a team sport. Williams acts like he is the baby Jesus but in fact he is just an immature child who will be out of the league in a minute with that attitude. Rashad McCants anyone?
Honestly, if he just played within himself this wouldn't be a conversation
Instead he takes what little time he has, does nothing with it, and then whines for more time. I thought of it this way.
He’s being asked to build a birdhouse in shop class. First, we’re asking him to give us a model with some popsicle sticks and glue first just to demonstrate proof of concept. Williams doesn’t want to be bothered with inferior materials and wants right to the construction. So he shoves the popsicle sticks up his ass and tells his friends all tell him it’s the greatest birdhouse ever.
Jordan has been given 4 popsicle sticks and he’s arranged them in a square, he’s staring at them and telling the teacher “I have the right idea, I just need more sticks.” And he’s demonstrated that.

Thank you for letting me say that it was Jordan's production I was praising
not his attitude or the fact that he played HIS game rather than hucked long shots and bad decisions. So glad people can ignore what I say to feel smarter or accurate in what they say.

Then I had a case of the misunderstandings.
You’re saying Hill has had a great attitude but no one TRUELY knows if he did/does. Hill isnt the Twitter whore that Williams is so the odds of him venting his frustration is much less. Hill also got some PT when he got here, he was in the rotation, and the combo of him getting hurt and playing bad is what put him on the bench for a while. You’re also comparing two VERY different personalities. Hill seems like he is more a nice/quiet guy, while Williams is acting like a diva. But lets not make it out as if Jordan Hill is out there doing work. 8 points and 8 rebounds in 5 games isnt very productive, that comes to what, around 2 pts 2 reb per? Ill admit TWill isnt taking advantage of the little time he is getting, but lets not bring Jordan Hill into this convo, like Hill is putting up 6pts 3reb 1blk in his 6 minutes.

You're mixing things on this one
My praise of Jordan isn’t his production, so stop bringing that up. It’s the way he’s playing when he’s out there. He knows the team needs a guy to block shots and play in the post, so guess what he’s doing when he’s out there. He’s doing his damndest to play in the post, block shots, and even grab boards when he can. Most of his points are close to the basket, the lane jump hook, and the elbow jumper (in a worst case scenario).
Williams should know damn well that the expectation for him is to slash, create, and work on HIS game, instead what he does is stand off to the side with his hands on his hips during games (no cuts, no screens, nothing) and then shoots 3’s when he touches the ball. He’s only had one game where he distributed and those were his debut minutes.
When it comes to attitude, silence is golden. You can infer some level of humbleness and hard work attitude in a guy that shuts up and when he sees the floor picks up his lunchpail and goes right to work with exactly what is asked of him as opposed to telling his boss what is expected of him. That’s the difference between Jordan and Terrence.

Dont forget
In 34 minutes during preseason AGAINST THE ROCKETS he had 20 pts and 8 rebounds in the first meeting and 16 pts and 8 rebounds in the second. For someone who is disinterested and terrible he sure played well. Oh how soon we forget what once was. This is classic “What have you done for me lately?”

I bad mouth T-Will all the time
From the system, to flashy, to now the disinterest.
If you ask me, CAN he be good? Yeah, sure he CAN, but not playing like that.
Ricky Davis, worlds of talent, Darius Miles,worlds of talent, Marvin Williams, Worlds of talent, Randy Foye, worlds of talent. To name a few more: Stromile Swift, Eddie Griffin, Sebatian Telfair, Gerald Green, Drew Gooden and I havent even mention the Euro busts yet, none of them are where they wanted to be
Hell I trust Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter are probably 2 of the most basketball gifted people to ever grace the planet. I have yet to hear their name associate with any sort of positive mindset
Yes, worlds of talent, saw it in NJ. Here’s the thing, it’s not otherworldly in the vein of Lebron, Melo, Durant, maybe not even Iggy, Granger. He need to stop thinking above the game and be in it. He’s had plenty of practice time now that he should know how the offense is, Nothing skill wise is stopping him from doing well. Yes, he is getting limited time, yeah he’s not here in the off-season, but he was here fairly early in the season. If you’re gonna stop the offense every time you touch the ball, or never make the cut that’ll get you the ball, of course you’ll get pulled and play limited time
Carl Landry went from little minutes to a ton, it’s not because we just hand him the minutes because it was open. It’s because he played within the offense and he played well, so he was left on the floor for extended time, it’s the same way how Patterson and Budinger got into the rotation.
It is too much to ask for to show up and make use of the 4-8 minutes you got? Not asking you to score, not asking you to play like an all star, but play basketball. Take care off the ball, run the plays, defend, take open shots. Am I crazy for asking for the basic things that every basketball player does?
You’re disappointed that the fans gave up on him, I’m disappointed that he needs a ballboy and the off-season to get his head screwed on straight. I said this to BD before, all that potential, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Your point about Landry is a good one.
He came in like a man possessed whenever he got minutes. He didn’t get many to start, particularly before January. Now, Carl Landry’s mental outlook appears to be better than 98% of the planet, but the point is – he played like he wanted to play more and made every second count. I think Williams is trying to do the same thing – and really, last night is the only night I’ve seen him look switched off. His earlier errors were ones of trying to do too much to impress, which is much easier to live with. Last night just seemed pouty.

When I watch him play...
I see Kirk Snyder and Jermaine Taylor. OOOOHHHH, he put up big numbers in a pre-season game, and ooooohhhh he put up big numbers in the d-league. So did Jermaine Taylor? Should he seriously get minutes over Kevin, C Lee, Bud, or Dragic right now? Absolutely not. At least not valuable minutes. Stupid idiot fans have the same syndrome with T-Will as they do Thabeet and Jordan Hill. They were drafted too early. If they were drafted 20th or later, would any of you stupid fans give a shite? No! you wouldn’t! Believe it or not, GMs miss all the time with lottery picks and our current GM loves to stock-pile them. I guarentee that if T-Will was drafted in the second round, he would be nothing but an after-thought and just a roster filler for any NBA team.
The same Taylor
who is putting up 10 pts, 4 rebounds, and 3 ast in 15 mins in the NBA. Are you talking about THAT Jermaine Taylor? Cause if you are, then thats what we need out of TWill for this team and I think he can do that

Man, I liked Taylor
But Lee basically marginalize the need for him, and rightfully so, because Lee is a starter quality guard. He’s tunnel visioned, but than kid was determined to get to the hole and score, it was pretty amazing

Yeah, for the fkn Kings. Courtney Lee would avg 25 pts for Sac-town. It’s just like Kevin Love with Minnesota.. He’s about to surpass Elvin Hayes for the most double doubles in a row. Is it because he’s a great player, or is it because the team he plays for sucks balls? He’s a quality player who could be great .. but right now what he’s accomplishing is more of the lack of points and rebounds around him.

Nothing at all wrong with Taylor - it was a good pick.
But we were able to get Lee and Taylor was eclipsed. Maybe not always and forever – again, why we had to PAY Sacramento to take him and Chicago wasn’t on the phone simply baffles me. The Bulls are a contender with a hole with scoring at SG. I know, I’ve said it a lot, but I just don’t get it.

Bulls at the time didnt think thier SG situation were so dire or can make the difference between championship or just really good
The had Ronnie Brewer who they though were perfectly adequate, of coures halfway through the season they must also be kicking themselves for not gambling on T-mac for nominal fee.
of course knowing what i know now and what Chicago didnt know then I’d have totally call for an Asik Taylor swap, the fact that both Marcin Gortat and Asik looks awesome right now really makes me wonder how good Kyrylo Fesenko really is if he’s not buried behind Favors and whoever the glut there is in Utah

I commented because you're pointing out that everyone thinks T-Will sucks, or he is to blame for everything.
And that isn’t correct.
If anything, Adelman is to blame for the majority of the losses.
I’ll put it this way: This post is not needed, rather than unnecessary.
I don’t understand why people are jumping the gun saying that this blog has turned into Clutchfans, because it hasn’t.
When a team loses, like ours, their fans are usually pessimistic, rather than optimistic. Big deal if people are venting about how much this guy or that guy sucks.
All I’m trying to say is that this post doesn’t change anything. People, like me, will continue to ask for Adelman’s head, while others say T-Will is massively overrated.

If you took it that way then your interpretation is incorrect
And Adelman is 50% of the blame because the players have to play too. Sure Adelman has been a stubborn old man, but he can’t be blamed for injuries and lack of height. And you cannot deny the wishy washyness of this blog. Check the confidence poll from week to week for proof.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
I never denied the wishy washyness of this blog.
It’s always up and down here.
You’re right when you say he can’t be blamed for lack of injuries and height(not for much longer with Thabeet), but he can be blamed for his unwillingness to give young, talented players, such as T-Will and Patterson, more minutes. Plus, his rotations have been shit all year, and I know most people here agree with that.
He likes to play vets over young players. The problem is that he doesn’t trust the young guys. What’s the only way to earn that trust? Playing time, and Adelman has given them inconsistent minutes, which isn’t right.
He’s one of the top coaches in the league, but he doesn’t fit us anymore. We need to start playing Thabeet and T-Will regularly instead of playing old vets in their place. We are a rebuilding team, not one contending for a title. I still think we can reach the playoffs, but our highest priority right now has to be developing young players like Thabeet, T-Will, Patterson, etc., not focusing on winning the title, let alone reaching the playoffs.
He’s a great coach, but he has the wrong mindset right now. That’s why he won’t be coming back next year.

I'm not saying this is a 65-win team.
Maybe if you remove your head from your ass you would not have interpreted it like that.
A prime example of him costing us the game:
The Clippers game. 4th game in 5 nights, yet we go with an 8 man rotation. We are exhausted at the end, yet Adelman doesn’t do a damn thing about it.
Go ahead and say, “that’s one game, no big deal,” but I guarantee you that his rotations have cost us at least 5-6 wins.

I've said it about ThaBeet and I'll say it about Williams
until either one gets a chance to spend an offseason, maybe summer league, and pre-season with the club, it’s impossible to know. Until they get significant minutes, it’s impossible to know.
Williams looked bad on one night – that’s all it is – we’re talking about very young men here, and their levels of maturity vary wildly. Williams appears to be a guy who talks before he thinks, and wears his heart on his sleeve. Those guys aren’t all bad – they can help a team over the top in a tough series. They also can be a PITA.
Morey is playing a long game – the talent is accumulating, so of it will stick.

Three reasons TWill is not getting minutes....
1) Adelman. It has been much discussed on other posts that he is playing to win, when it would probably be better for us long term to develop some players. Now, I understand playing to win, how that is an attitude a team needs to have, how we have a chance at the 8th seed, and how TWill is not in his preferred rotation. BUT, we had plenty of garbage time against indy and we found damn few minutes to play him, and he needs minutes badly. He can’t develop and we can’t evaluate him without some PT, but I think that is a mistake that will not be corrected this season. Adelman is going to play to win.
2) Budinger. I for one expected him to get undressed defensively, and I thought it likely a bad game or three might bust his confidence. I even went so far as to post that I thought TWill might be our starter five games after Battier left. I must say it is good for the team that I was wrong, but I still think Bud’s success is a little fragile. I hope he stays strong though.
3) TWill himself. He is his own worst enemy. The dude runs his mouth on twitter and by all appearances has a shitty attitude. I do not hang with the team to know for sure, but if his attitude is indeed as poor as it appears then all the talent in the world will not get him on the floor. He needs to shut up and be ready when he does get minutes, then make the most of his time. I do not think the Rockets organization will keep him around if he is a malcontent. While he has a legit shot here, Morey will cut his losses and send him to the Timberwolves for a second rounder if he doesn’t shut up.
In summary, I think he has a ton of talent and can help us, but I’m not sure he has his head on straight.
I look at it this way
He is bitching about getting money for not doing anything. Im sure there are alot of players in the NBA who would just enjoy the paycheck and courtside seats, while contributing nothing. He wants to play, he wants to earn his money.

But you know how some people are
Bad attitude= should not play. That attitude shit is a cop out. If he is talented then play him when you have a chance to. Attitude has nothing to do with having a bad night because everyone has one of those.

The boss gives you the task and tells you how the coif should look. But you know better and you change the plans. WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?
THEY WILL FIRE YOUR ASS.
This is not a child’s game. You are paid to shut the fuck up and do your job. You are not paid to play. You are paid to make the best of your oppportunities and help the team as much as it is possible for you. You are paid quite well, might I add. Williams is an idiot, to say the least. If I’d be the coach I’d have him cleaning the toilets after the others. It would be a fair trade for 2.2M a year. I’d do it for half the money.

As someone who was never on the T-Will bandwagon,
I think people are changing their mind because they’re finally seeing what I’ve been seeing this whole time – while he is more talented than Budinger and Lee, he is not so talented that he can afford to do what he does. He honestly reminds me of T-Mac with his playing, except T-Mac had franchise-star level talent, something which Williams simply doesn’t seem to have and to tell the truth probably never will, especially given his work problems. The fact that he’s reacted in the way he has on Twitter also hasn’t helped. I think he could use some rotation minutes, but honestly given his attitude problems, I’m not losing sleep over the fact that he doesn’t. Besides, we’re currently gunning for the playoffs, and most playoff teams use 8 or 9 man rotation anyways.
Minnesotan Rockets fan
I would not be so harsh on him
Look at Micheal Beasley this year, much much better, and he said himself, it’s due to him being more mature as a person. B-easy however, has been humbled by players like Wade, and now Love, Players arguably more talented and still go hard 100%.
I dare say T-will has yet to believe he played with more talented company then him, so he hasnt yet to be truely humbled(except for the ball boy, for a 13 year old kid to be way more emotionally mature than you is pretty humbling). Personally I view getting broken down by a 2nd round rookie pretty humbling, but he didnt play enough to have that happen to him multiple times, so he’s probably thinking that was just lucky.
Never say never though, It’s sad that he need more of a push to get mature, but it doesnt mean it’s impossible for him to put it together. We’ll see how he responded when he plays again, because I have to believe the staff ripped into him pretty good for those awful 6 minutes last night
as far as the playoffs goes, most of those team has star player(except for Denver now, and Denver now goes about 9-10 men deep) having focal point to lean on makes it easier to have short rotations
Here's an idea:
Instead of complaining about the people on this blog, go away and don’t come back. It’s a win-win situation. You win cause you won’t have to see our “wushy washy” comments and we win cause we won’t have to read your lame-ass FPs.

I have been a Terrance Williams fan from the moment he was drafted into the league. I think he has great talent and could be as good as the 3rd best player on a championship team. I must say that this season has been a train wreck for him and he has no one to blame but himself.
He was asked by the Nets to play a point guard type role but he destroyed offensive flow when he had the ball so they took it out of his hands. He continued to kill the offense when he was moved off the ball and hes a player that lets his poor offensive nights affect his defense so needless to say he has had plenty of awful defensive nights.
I haven’t lost faith in him completely because as a big fan of Adelman I think that he and his staff can humble him and show him the way to a long and successful career. What I do think though is that he needs to be shown the bench. If he isn’t good enough to play a team game then he shouldn’t play. He sure as hell isn’t good enough to be a focal point on any playoff team so what gives you the impression he should be big time player on a borderline playoff team with a bunch of talent in front of him? The way he has played from the start of his time in Houston has made me face palm, I fear that he might not ever get it and he will toil his career away as a box score filler for a perennial loser his whole career when he should be so much more. I hope that he learns to be more of a team guy this offseason, he could be the next Lamar Odom/Doug Christie/Rick Fox/Robert Horry player in the league. I fear that he will be the next Jamal Crawford instead.
For anyone that wants to argue attitude vs talent
I truly believe it to be a chicken and egg scenario. All the talent in the world cannot be utilized without a positive attitude about learning, listening, aborbing and constantly adapting your game. Every great will tell you that they continued to learn throughout their careers and if they were unwilling to do that their games would have hit a wall. Im sure we all went to high school or college with a guy that was just naturally talented. One mof my best friends had profession sport potential. He was tall, yet athletic and limber, he played the 5 for us yet he had PG handles and moves. The one thing he didnt have was a good attitude. In fact he had the opposite and because of it he coasted on his talent alone. Guys with supreme talent think they are different form everyone else, but in the NBA they are just another role player until they realize its the extra time in the gym, film room and court that takes you to the next level and only certain individuals on this planet are willing to do what it takes.
So if Williams wasnt
bitching on Twitter, how would everyones feeling towards him be? Everyone always goes back to him complaining on twitter. Why is it that we can sit on here and complain/bitch/cry and its ok, but when he does it “he needs to shut his mouth and play” “he’s not good”. No one would know he’s unhappy if they never had twitter

Because he can do something about it
I’m no ballboy, I cant just go up to him and say “why would you blow it?” I aint got the kind of wisdom Carlos Gonzalez, Jr has, and I’m sure it’d sound much more like provocation coming out of my mouth than a 13 year old.
We whine and bitch because we dont have the kind of talent he has, we dont get to play a game for a living, and he does. Twitter is just gave us a glimpse into his mindset, a mindset he willingly shares. This is not Aaron Brook walking out and reported on the news, this is him sharing his dismay. I have no quarrel with him on Twitter. it’s public, it’s pretty raw, and I get to take a shot at it, and frankly, Boki Nachbar’s twitter is so much better.

I don't even read Twitter
Personally, I don’t care what he says there. I do care what he does not do on the floor. I have never been on his bandwagon. Was not particularly interested in roasting him either. I just don’t see him as being more deserving of playing time than Bud or Lee or Lowry or Dragic. They too are young players, they too have talent, and they, unlike TW allow me to see it on the floor.
Dragic has had much less time to learn the offense than TW and he seems to be finding a way to contribute.
Agreed
I think the offseason will be where we see what Williams is made of.

Let's look at a similar situation
with a different outcome. When Patterson got drafted, he had to be thinking he had a tough path to getting any PT. To say we were overstocked at the 4 is an understatement. His attitude in facing that dilemma was excellent. He went to RGV and made good use of the time there, and when he got some time, he made the best of it. He does what he is asked to do. It was no different with Landry, he was playing a lot because he made the best of the minutes he got early on.
T-Will does not seem to get it. I was at the first game after the trade and he seemed to be playing under control and trying to play within the system. After that, he seemed to assume that he would get minutes at the 3. It’s almost like he took that for granted. The results have been less than impressive.
I am thinking that another outing like the Pacers game might be T-Will’s swan song. There is a young guy on the roster that could be a very serviceable 3 off the bench. Carrol is listed as a 4, but his skills would seem to work well with our bench unit at the 3. He is bigger than T-Will so getting run over by the LeBron types would not be so much of an issue. He is not on contract for next year so I would imagine he would love to show that he can fill the backup 3 position. If I am T-WIll, I would try real hard to not let that happen.
but by being in RGV
he was at least able to play, not just practice. Id rather them send TWill to the D League and get some basketball game PT than sit on the bench doing nothing. When he does get in, he’s not ready because he doesnt expect to play.
by fanoflosingteams on Mar 7, 2011 1:21 PM CST up reply actions
neither Patterson nor Landry was expected to play either
but when they did, they made it worth while. I’d love to see T-will in RGV, but will he accept it or will he just be made that he’s sent to the D-league again?

To everyone having a problem with me making this post
Why even comment?
My points are as follows:
1)Why like him one day and turn your back the next behind one game. No one was complaining about him “standing around”, “chucking 3’s”, and being “disinterested” before the Pacers game.
2)Give him a fair shot in the offseason and preseason with our staff and then you can put on your gown and pass your judgments if you haven’t really seen him play.
3)You knew about his twitter shit when he got here. Twitter bitching does not equate to talent or production so it is just a cop out complaint.
4)Why be so short sighted? When we first got him and he was getting garbage minutes we all saw the flashes of what he can and cannot do well, but it seems like we have forgotten about that. That was the reason most of us at first wanted to see more of him but now, just like typical Rockets fans, one bad stretch and now he sucks and we hate him.
5) I am not defending the guy. I am just asking that we take a patient approach with him. We have only seen a sample size of things but some of you act like he’s been in the league for five seasons and has always gotten play time and was always sorry. Anyone who is now against him better not jump ship again WHEN he puts it together. I believe in him and if I am wrong for that then ban me.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
Because it's a free country
Why like Bush year one and hate him year 2? I was totally saying T-will was being flashy and not passing it to the post against NJ. You read midget, but not my actual commentary on T-will?
He’s had one or two sparing game of garbage minutes before the trade and we saw " what he can do?" Do you want us to take small samples seriously or not?
I dont know why you’re taking such a heavy handed approach, its either we believe in him or not? What is he Jesus?Did the disciples just go"if you all dont believe Jesus right now, dont ever believe in him?"
Jesus performed miracles to convert non-believers and even that couldnt convince everyone, what chance do you have with idle threats? “better not jump back on when he put it together” WHY NOT? If he can reform, cant we?
If he’s not playing well, why cant we critique his game, you make it sound like we are fair weather fan because we pointed out his flaws

Lurker here
There is no torch of hate that is being passed down. People stopped supporting Tmac, AB, and TWill because of their actions. The players are being held accountable for their actions from fans without blinders on. There was a time when I was excited to have Tmac on the Rockets, a time when Brooks was one of my favorite players, and a time when I was excited to see what TWill could add to the Rockets team. I’m not a bandwagon fan of any of those players, at least Brooks was able to man up and say he messed up and gave an apology. I hope Aaron can be content being a backup and find success in the years to come.
Terrence should not be given a free pass on his Twitter comments just because he has history of using that medium to vent his frustrations before he came to Houston. He is an adult and is lucky to have the job he does, this does not give him the right to critisize his bosses in such a public way just because he has the right of free speech. Imagine if you are working in a performance based job where traveling/overtime is a perk and not everyone gets the opportunity to get the extra hours or travel. Complaining about being passed over on twitter/facebook for the world to see while doing a poor job is not way to earn your bosses favor. If anything you will get passed over by other coworkers that are trying hard and don’t complain. By complaining about playing time he is essentially saying Rick Adelman doesn’t know what he is doing. How can that earn anything but a string of DnPs? He is fortunate to get garbage time; play time in the NBA is not a right, it’s a privilege.
I haven’t given up on Williams yet, I’m hoping he can fix his attitude and get his mindset right so he can EARN a regular spot on the team by next season. Until he starts making better decisions on and off the court I don’t see why anyone should support him.

Agreed but...
It still doesn’t give him the right to say whatever he wants on a social media outlet and expect no repercussions. Nowadays people get fired / arrested / expelled over comments / pictures on social media sites. It is the user’s personal responsibility to not shoot themselves in the foot with the “weapons” they are given access to.
Has t-will ever shown that he really can be a good/great player?
He has the tools but there is so much more to it than that.
Until I see him do well with any sort of consistency I will reserve judgement.
You earn playing time with your play… but you can lose it with your mouth.
This is more the attitude of reason
Reserving judgement until evidence is presented. I agree his twitterness is a bit foolish but don’t knock the guy after one bad game and cite his tweeting as another reason to hate him and act like tweeting makes jumpshots.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
You keep saying one bad game
but I don’t see anyone else talking about one bad game. Maybe if you’ve only read TDS once in your time here or maybe if you’ve only seen one Rockets game this season you’d have a point but the majority of people abandoning him are people who have seen every game he’s had a bit of time in and have noticed an alarming trend in his limited minutes. Rather than work in those minutes he flings jumpshots. He even tweeted some bullshit line telling people “I play in garbage time, you expect me to do something else?” or something akin to that line of drivel. Hell, if we all followed the Williams expectations we wouldn’t ever have to work until we were CEO’s and bosses.

Basketball is played on the court, not on twitter. And you were the main one clamoring for him to get time but now you have turned your back on him after one game. This is the first time you have grilled T-Will like this and it was after this ONE game. Now tell me what I said that was wrong.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
You're really good at not reading anything someone posts
I say it’s more than one game, specifically post to call attention to that, you hop back on the one game train. I cite his tweets because it gives insight into the situation because it exposes his lack of work ethic, lack of appreciation for time, and sense of entitlement, all of which contribute to a coach not giving a player time.
I clamored for Williams to get time, the more he saw the floor, the more I soured on him. I’ve been carrying this opinion for quite some time and have held this opinion for his last two or three outings. You keep citing one game but you never acknowledge that every single time outside of his debut that he has stepped foot on the floor he has set his sights ridiculously low and still managed to fall short of them.
So yes, it’s one game if we’re naive enough to not pay attention. However, you blatantly ignoring the fact that I called you out on all his play just shows that EVERYTHING you said was wrong. You will respond, bash lawyers, call people sheep, and then write everyone else off as spamming or attacking you, so please, just call all attention to this bit for your response because I cannot reasonably expect you to address an issue I had to call your attention to twice specifically.
