    yup its pretty much the same ones over and over that are b****ing all the time. finding any way to spin things into their own narrative. its really brought the quality of garm down a ton for the past few months.

    Wow, the venom and word-twisting in here has reached new levels.

    What in the world poisoned this fanbase so much?

    Seriously. Goals are meant to be achievable. You don't say "I expect the team to win out the rest of the year," and set them up for failure. We clearly have a bunch of undergrads and videogamers posting on Clutchfans yelling about how to manage an organization, given how innocuous this quote is. And where are people getting "forget a championship" out of this?

    So much rage. I just don't get the point. I think it's become a tribal identity thing.

    This is what alot of Rockets fans feared when Tillman took over. It was quelled a bit with such praise from DM and Harden, but this might be the start of a complete crash of our favorite team. Maybe Harden and DM feel the same?

    65 wins managed to 50 wins

    If faried and rivers walk away, 40 wins for next year.

    Why not improve the wins?

    I echo the sentiments of those in Tilman's/Rockets corner. This emotionally charged, kneejerk stuff is crazy. We've suffered major injuries (pl), and must consider the prospect of facing GS, at full strength for the last time...ergo the need for possible flexibility and going all in next year.With that said,it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that CP3 and CC come back to combine with the rest of the FINAL roster to take out the Worriers.

    In order to keep at 60 wins pace, it’d have to keep ariza and use full MLE last summer. Then deal ariza picks for a Harris.
    It looks like it will have depth issues and can’t win 60 games again next season.

    yeah, and then it quickly became evident that Morey had a horrible summer and 60 wins definitely would not be happening...50 wins would be great based off how we started the year

    Were so many on here not just talking about tanking like 2 months ago? Now there’s outrage because Tilman is talking about 50 wins? Stop...

    We literally gave away future assets to cut costs and you think we are about to go all in next year..

    Have tilman morey done enough to win 60 games?
    Have they done enough to win the west?
    Why not? Add the depth to fix it.
