    I’m pretty sure newb fans don’t know much about the history of the rockets past one year

    Or that Les bought the team for peanuts and considered moving that team to Kentucky
    Or that we had a bad reputation for free agency for along time

    Or that these fans think Barkley just made up that the rockets owe him money

    Or that Dream left for Toronto cause Les wouldn’t pay him a little thank you money for what he did

    You know how the lakers kept Kobe so the fans can feel good that he never left the team?

    I don't know man

    So far the people have spoken. They do miss Les Alexander more than they don't. The numbers are clear

    Eh, they're definitely the same in terms of cheapness, but Les showed a little more class it seems so far.

    Les by a hair, but it's early!

    Never take ownership for granted.... While Fertita is not that bad it could be a more flexible approach.

    You know who signed Chris Paul to this gigantic contract then sold the team right after that ?

    You know how those lower bowl seats are empty?

    Look dude majority doesn’t mean correct
    It’s just means a majority of idiots

    At one point a majority of Clutchfans thought Jeremy Lin was better than Patrick Beverley
    @Zboy

    There’s lots of polls every year saying we’re winning a championship too

    So Tilman is a sucker to eat up that contract? Dude, it was Morey who messed up and gave CP3 that contract

    Why are you insulting Clutchfans by calling majority idiots? This is the best forum in the internet FYI

    You don’t know is exactly the correct answer

    It’s also you’re too lazy to know

    Just google up stories . It’s an amazing tool this google thing

    At least you should be aware of this Barkley saying the rockets owe him money story since all of you react to it

    Tilman bought the team cause he’s a billionaire Houstonian fan.

    You know who’s been here since the beginning and seen the lack of knowledge of the rockets drop like Daniel house from the playoff rotation ?

    Crane is by FAR the best team owner in Houston sports history. His decisions and hires completely changed the culture of the Houston Astros.

    Barkley? Come on man. That guy hates the Rockets and did not come here to play at his best. You just have to watch his TNT rants against the Rockets

    I was thinking that but 2 Chips>1 and Les always had us in contention. Astros have been great for 4 years now, Rockets have been great for longer.

    At least I think so. But it’s getting closer. If he wins another it’ll be even.

    You still haven't really told me why Les Alexander is a better owner when all this mess of salary cap issues happened under his watch

    who hired Morey?

    Let's just say I bought an ugly foreclosed house and was going to renovate it.
    Are you going to blame me cause the house in it's current state is ugly?

    Les inherited the team that Charlie Thomas and Steve Patterson built.

    The Rockets have had dark days of no playoffs. I don't recall that happening under Tilman so far.

    Les is better because:

    1. He delivered 2 Championships
    2. We became a global team under him esp with the CHinese Market
    3. He never constantly came to the media to talk crap like Tilman

    yes I will blame you. You knew it was ugly, why did you buy it? You bought it, you deal with the repercussions.
