    The day they traded for WB imo. Though he’s been good, he’s just not what this team needs, it just sent all the wrong messages in terms of addressing this teams shortcomings

    the ariza low ball; or @LonghornFan warning us about Tillman shoulda been a clue..

    If you are going this way it is CLEARLY they day we extended CP3.

    Westbrook can simply be seen as the exit from that AWFUL decision

    Shush! The 1995 Rockets won only 47 games! Like Clyde Drexler says, you should not even try to estimate the heart of a champion!
