I am wondering if they read these things just for a public interest sort of thing.  Maybe for public analysis rather than global reports from an ESPN or CBS.  Rahat has access to the organization so they are aware of the forum's presence.  That in itself must somehow seem legit enough to take seriously.

 

When players and coaches recite public opinion during interviews, where do they get this insight?  Does it come from the global sports reports?  When they say "the fans in Houston have welcomed Dwight with open arms" or something of the sort, is that just something they came up with randomly for publicity sake or do they actually poll fans?

It would be great if somehow Steven is really Daryl Morey just blowing off steam or if Jeremy Lin has been really active on these boards this summer in the form of rocketsbestfan.

As far as me, I'm not Morey. I know no one who is ITK. I think Buckko could be Morey tho. Too much emotion from Morey, causing him to be blind to the fact Lin will never fit into this Rocket team and should be traded just to clear cap space.

How the hell does JLin end up in every thread?  

[timetodienow1234567]

Because its a hot button issue and people want more hits on their post and that is accomplished by mentioning Lin

[Buckko]

No, I am not Morey and I'm not emotionally passionate about lin either. However you could have just started a game who's who?

   you guys are killing me  I should be the last one you expect to be Lin, however on the subject......YES they do read these forums...Morey has admitted as much already. now as far as having a secret identity on here?.........that's food for thought.

Morey has admitted it???

YES.........in his recent AMA (ask me anything) segment he said he reads, but denies any interaction on these forums......he said it helps him with ideas

They may read the blog, but it seems highly unlikely that anyone involved with the Rockets organisation actually posts on here. The forum is a nice community, but the majority of traffic to the site is likely just to the articles themselves, which after all are the outwards facing portion of discussions. When you read an article on another site, how often do you read the comment sections? I know I don't do it very often. I suspect that threads which aren't attached to articles and therefore do not appear as comment sections get even less visibility.

I would tend to agree, however I was watching a video of Mark Cuban recently where he talked about every team looking for anything that will give them an advantage, and it made me think about something Sam Hinkie said before he left for Philly........before making any decisions he wants to be sure he has heard every opinion of the subject. what better place to find out the general opinions of all parties than a forum such as this one. don't get me wrong I don't think they govern their process by what they read, but just the process of taking in all opinions on a subject may mean they read a lot deeper than any of us are imagining. 

[Chichos]

I love it, that means we can take credit for most of the Rocket's successes right? I mean he just crowd sourced those ideas from us.

I can say this, I will be watching to see if any of my wacky Dwight/Asik sets make it to the court.  Just so you know, Daryl, there's more where that came from...

 I was thinking of slipping in a few ideas myself

[Buckko]

Hey I have been talking the howard at PF and asik at C lineup since May. Want more ideas, make demo the leading scorer on a strong defensive second unit and he just might be our 6th man.

[bboley24]

Hey Daryl...  Need someone to walk your dogs?  I hear Zan-TaBARK, Moochie and Mobley are misbehaving.

[rockets best fan]

what is this the send a shout out the Daryl Morey thread now

[blakecouey]

I'm rolling reading these posts.  

 

I hope they do read, what better place to find public opinion and perception on certain issues.  Anytime a question is brought up we seem to have discussion on it, and a wide range of opinions are given, most of which are unique views that may have not been seen otherwise.  So I can definitely seen an advantage to the front office, or their minions, reading here.

I also believe this site/forum would be a better place to get insight than the others, due to higher average quality.

 

I can agree RBF may be Lin.  Lin has mentioned before he feeds off the criticisms and we know RBF has plenty haha.

haven't tt you in a while where you been? good to see you back. every since this who's who started it has been funny, but I'm a little harsh on Lin to be him

[blakecouey]

Life's been busy lately, and thanks!

 

That's exactly what Lin would say too...good try Jeremy.
