    I'm not getting in between your feelings for Les, just saying the Harden era Retros looked pretty cool. And I really love the Gemini Rocket unis, all the variants.

    Your patience with Tilly is great and more power to you, but we all have different tolerances. Especially if you don't walk your talk.

    I hear what you're saying and definitely get the impression that Fertitta is in her "early Mark Cuban" phase, where he is trying to get everyone to notice him. He wants to feel like he's the reason the team succeeds but a has surprisingly low understanding of how to deal with media and his employees. What good does it do to express your thoughts on Mike D'Antoni's contract publicly? He would do well to learn from Daryl Morey, and just make sure everything has a positive spin when doing interviews. Throwing players and coaches under the bus does nothing for your organization.

    Don't try to feed us this lie we have seen this off season look like the same as last off season it is a repeat and we have nothing to show for it accept a repeat you want to be on top get new player adapt a new system exploit mismatches and above all else play to win.

    Rockets owner, the loudmouth penny pincher wants everyone to know that he's thinking about spending some dough to build championship level roster time & time again, yet this fraud has so far done the exact opposite. He wants everyone to know how rich he really is (even has 2 choppers!) & he definitely cares about bringing a championship to Hou because we can tell this dude is a giant bullshitter...

    Don't forget we traded a draft pick last year because he wanted to save money. Only fools still believe him.

    The Rockets need a legit 4 who can elite rebound and stretch the floor. That guy isn't available.

    The End.

    What is left for us to get better? Could have tried for a sign and trade with Boston for something involving Clint maybe Horford and picked a couple guys who can score and board like an Ed Davis, Wes Mathews types, Aminu etc. I don't see how this team can get any better at all from last year. They need another playmaker and there are no needle movers left. It is becoming just homerish to feel anything different regardless of a Warriors team or not. I last year thought we would have lost to the Blazers in 7 or so with the way we were playing. Both Blazers and Jazz have done extremely well with their MLE's and trades and we are sitting on our asses trying for a guy who didn't give the team a meeting? Front Office has let the team down two years in a row it shouldn't be acceptable to bring the same team again next year

    GS buy 2picks
    Jazz buy 2picks
    Lakers but 1 pick
    Nuggets buy 1 pick

    It’s expensive to buy a pick last month.
