    still would have ended up with 2 rings if no refs machinations in last 2 years...
    are you gonna sit there and blame Tilman for not paying the refs in order to be allowed to win?

    Tilman deserves credit for running the Rockets like a for-profit business rather than other teams that are trying to actually win a title?

    yep. When the rockets get beaten by the Lakers of clippers in the playoffs, I’ll take comfort in knowing that Tillman was able to save a few million dollars and be happy with it

    No. He sucks. Most of our insiders like Cod and Nook have stated numerous times he's turned down avenues for us to improve the roster in favor of saving money. He is the reason we are playing small ball and we have no depth. This is what happens when you have an owner who cares more about money than winning.

    Not a fan of his.....my point being that the fans won’t be winners long term, but he will personally benefit financially from owning the Rockets. I watched a recent interview where he said he thought the market would eventually crash and the smart people would be on the sidelines and waiting until after the crash to invest. He runs the team exactly the same way. This is who he is and it has made him rich as #%^*. I agree as well that he knowingly lies about doing whatever it takes, but he is a casino owner who knows the value of hype to generate interest in his product.

    "Tilman deserves credit"

    I'm assuming the thread is about how he is applying for loans so he can set up payment schedules for the players??

    Get shorter players. No one over 6 foot 2 inches.

    I wouldn’t worry about Tilman. There will probably be gov’t assistance for all the owners of sports franchises. Our gov’t will step up and help those who need it the most.

    Yeah, this is why Tilman is rich, and other NBA franchise owners are poor...?

    Tilman totally saw this coronavirus induced recession coming the year before last year because of his China connection.

    Simple question,

    Is it worth to trade 5 past years First round picks, 3 future Firsts, 2 future first swaps and 6 2nd round picks to be 6th seed in the west?

    is this crazy?
