    I do think I know what he's getting at. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with the rockets direction, nothing wrong with disliking their moves, nothing wrong with questioning, and nothing wrong with making negative comments. This is all fine, you don't have to agree with everything they do. You don't have to be a Morey stan, it's your right as a fan to be critical of their moves or players when they don't have success.

    The problem is when "fans" seem delighted to see the rockets fail, and seem to be actively rooting against their success. There's a clear distinction between these two groups. The only "feigned ignorance" is acting like these two groups are the same. Anyone who is a member of the latter group, get the **** out and find a new team.

    Dunno man, just waiting for a team to pick up Joe Cheese or Jerry Lin. Really stoked for the upcoming WNBA season in the mean time. Die-hard Houston Comets fan here.

    I'm married to the Rockets. We spoke our vows inside the Lakewood Church which at the time was the Compaq Center. I don't/won't cheat. You can't tempt me with your Glamor, Lakers and your Morman, Jazz, and your hipster culture, Blazers, and your Liberalism, Knicks.

    Admit it, RR. This thread is a shot across the bow of the “complainers.”

    The guys and gals (not that I’m aware the latter - they tend to be some of our more intelligent members, IMO) who complained before the season began, complained during the season, complained at regular season’s end, complained during the playoffs, complained at the ignoble end of our run, complained leading up to the draft, complained during it, complained once free agents were available to sign, and have complained ever since. The ones who love to complain and never stop. Did I get that right? I won’t be insulted if I didn’t.

    Definitely want to see rockets succeed. Not 100% percent sure that was OPs intention, but context matters. the sentiment of most of the blind followers seems to be if you think morey has been an overrated GM you are an idiot and should go find another team or you aren’t a true fan who stuck it out under the losing years.

    Fans who tell you what you are and aren’t, and demand respect because they’ve been on the forum longer can go kick rocks

    It’s pretty much the consensus here. It’s why I don’t read comments after mine and fire back. I could , but why?? I leave MY comments now here.. then move on along. I have as much knowledge of basketball as anyone here. I’ve been hoopin since age 5- Div II.... but @ Clutchfans it’s not 1 negative word .... or your an outsider!!

    “True rockets fans” need to get off their high horse. The most passionate theyve ever been is when they are complaining about the complainers.

    This type of discussion is what makes the board interesting and keeps us coming back. What’s the point of having a forum of fans circlejerking each other and the team no matter what the team does. At least that’s my opinion

    Lol that’s my opinion. Wasn’t aware I had to be on the forum for a certain number of hours to be allowed to have.

    Y’all sure love making it personal when you can’t defend your argument

    I’m hopping on the okc thunder bandwagon. Now that Westbrook doesn’t have scrubs getting in his way, he will take over the league.

    IMO, they ought to GTFO, they are ruining this board because they take joy in misery. The Rockets could win the championship and they would still find a way to complaint. There is nothing constructive about their criticism, just a general hatred and trolling. The last couple years has seen their numbers increase. I'm tired of seeing this board filled with nothing but trolling posts, it has severely diminished the greatness of this site. I don't understand why admin doesn't go on a banning spree to thin out their numbers. If I was Clutch I would stomp them out of the board like the little roach infestation that they are.

    There is no other team and never will be another team.

    It blows my mind to see people say oh I root for this team too, or I love player/s X. F all that noise.

    Edit: there are few people I feel can get away with liking more than one team, like @malakas who I absolutely have a ton of respect for.

    Rockets all day, everyday, until I die.

    The beautiful thing about being a fan is you can completely hate the moves your team does but still continue to root for the team.
    I'm going nowhere, but Tilman hasn't made a go for it move in his first 2 off-seasons yet, when we have the best player in the NBA.
