    Today was the last straw. I can’t stand Tillman treating us all like we are dumb. Telling us there are no restrictions and we will pay the luxury tax. We could have a dream team right now if it wasn’t for him.

    I can’t believe that we had to trade knight and a first to get Iman Shumpert and somehow Knight and a second gets Andre Drummond???? Are you kidding me, if we still had Knights contract and our pick we could have Drummond right now with Covington? Add this all up to the all the trash he’s pulled since he’s taken over. Stop going to games. Boycott this owner..


    Harden is about to demand a trade. Morey is about to leave. We are gonna be irrelevant for years...

    1. Let Ariza Walk
    2. Traded Chinanu Onuaku and a second round pick for Marty Leunen ??????
    3. Traded Ryan Anderson and De'Anthony Melton for Marquese Chriss and Brandon Knight
    4. Played a game with House's contract that cost him time with the team.
    5. Traded Chriss, Knight, 1st and 2nd round picks for Iman Shumpert
    6. Traded James Ennis to 76ers.
    7. Traded Wade Baldwin, Leunen, Stauskas and a 2021 2nd round pick for cash.
    8. Made a lowball offer to MDA.
    9. Did the ridiculous incentive based contract for NeNe that got shot down by the league.
    10. Cut Gary Clark
    11. Would not take on additional salary in the Westbrook trade.
    12. Did not use Iman Shumperts bird rights.
    13. Refused to spend the MLE in either offseason.
    14. Traded a first with capela to get Covington and get under luxury tax. Refused to expand the trade!

    Tilman got lucky with inheriting a 65 win team.

    He needs to suffer through a decade of mediocrity, which is where this team is headed before he learns an actual lesson.

    Unfortunately, us as fans have to suffer along with him. This is just how sports work when a bad owner buys a team (ex. Donald Sterling).

    I will not stop going to games, and I don’t care for boycotts. The city does not care about the Rockets like that to where you’ll see some boycott that will actually make any sort of impact. In my eyes, talk of boycotting is just that...talk

    trade Tilman for Capela. We'll throw in his whole family as filler plus future first born babies of his kids.

    www.change.org - someone should start this asking for Tilman Fertitta to step down and sell the team. It's like he had the slogan: "Make the Rockets Great Again!" before he bought the team...

    There is no viable solution to this problem but I understand and agree with your frustrations. Vent away.

    We have no question the worst owner in the NBA.

    Say what you want about Dolan, atleast he paid the tax.

    We're 5 to 10yrs away from being today's NY Knicks if Tillman remains the owner.

    Good for you. But between the NBA screwing us over and Tillman being cheap we have no chance at winning. My money will be spent elsewhere.
