    Does it matter how he pronounces Restaurant if we win the chip?

    It’s that “tree falling in the woods” scenario. Fascinating where a thread can lead lol

    You idiots who know nothing about Houston

    Tilman tried to get the Rockets in 93 but Les outbid him

    He’s always wanted to buy the Rockets

    And that was probably the best thing to happen to Houston. Sir Uncle Les went on to ensure we got not one but TWO BACK to BACK CHAMPIONSHIPS under him

    Lord knows what would have happened if cheapskate LTS Tilman became owner. He would have probably traded our best players right away.

    Tillman is an ass. As soon as I read a few quotes from him I knew it. He’s got a lot of Trump-type **** in him. Which is cool. I guarantee you he was fun to party with when he was a young guy, but as far as running a team? Disaster waiting to happen.

    Look at his new book title. It’s literally caricature for a d******d businessman.

    All would be cool if he had ANY feel for basketball like Jerry Buss, but he doesn’t. At all.


    To top it all off, he’s a cheapskate? Yuck.

    Yeah I’m not a fan of his because he seems like a giant ******* who meddles too much. I think the good owners put competent executives in place and trust them to do their job. I don’t think this is the Tillman method. His book “Shut Up and Listen” just crystallizes the foregoing in my mind.

    That said I still think we have a shot this year, and if they win it, he’ll be my fave houston owner

    Don’t think fans care about Houston especially the newbs

    They can’t even find Houston on a map of Texas

    I don’t give a damn what Tilman does at UH and I have a graduate degree from there. If you were pure, you would only care what the owner does for the Rockets. This isn’t a college football forum.

    he's changed the uniforms which was a major complaint
    and he was willing to get us another star to replace Chris Paul

    UH , no newbs knows what that means, at least on the GARM.
    they probably think it's Udonis Haslem.

    There's no "seems like" about it.

    The bbs was warned about Tilman, by yours truly and a few others, the moment his name came out as a prospective owner.

    I didn’t mean to say leaving on Major, I meant to say firing him after one more or less successful ish sort of year.

    I’m not a Major fan and wasn’t really impressed with him as a QB or coach, but it was handled in a clown show kind of way and that had Tillman’s fingerprints al over it. Similarly to the clownish way he’s handling Mike D right now.

    I don’t eat fajitas anywhere other than there. They are so good with the side of dipping lard that every other fajita plate is a disappointment.

    It’s crazy how this guy takes one aspect of what Frettita said about Westbrook and quickly generalised him as unsophisticated while ignoring rest of 99% aspect of what Fretitta said about how Westbrook makes Rockets better. This does not scare me as a Rockets fan. It tells me that Fretitta can make bold moves that can either work or not work. Statistically its an upside, chemistry wise its to be seen, End of story.

    People only sell if they don’t want it anymore
    Someone mentioned James Dolan.
    Dolan is a bad owner but he’s not going to sell.
    He’s not in it cause he wants billions
    He already has billions

    Only cheap owners who stiff their star players sell and run to palm beach
