    He bad.

    Repackaging lemon wedges and unused Brodie cups are questionable but could be seen as hustle to a shareholder.

    This is beyond treating players like "assets." But I guess that could be seen as revolutionary or locked-in to some...

    It’s the Landry’s inc. basketball team now. This isn’t the same thing most of us grew up loving.

    I feel sorry for the longer term fans. The ones who've invested so much emotionally, and also actual dollar-wise into tickets, merchandise etc over the years.

    Meaning we can't just wake up one morning and say F the Rockets.

    Part of me wishes I was a fair-weather fan so I could do just that.

    Because honestly I absolutely loathe Tilman and Patrick.

    Let me try to get this straight:
    - KPJ throws food in CLE troubled young man, not mature
    - CLE trades him for pennies on the dollar to HOU
    - Awesome ownership and group in HOU
    - Going above and beyond take a chance and put a support group around this kid
    - Make him starring PG, give him opportunity of a lifetime

    - KPJ arrested for alleged assault on GF
    - HOU ownership wants to cut ties, concerns with how this behavior will impact their young developing team
    - HOU is a POS joke, laughing stock of NBA

    WTF !?! Am I missing??? I totally do not understand this logic. Maybe because there is no logic. It’s emotional reactions. Ownership is applying reasonable logic and trying to do what’s right and protect the other players. They supported this kid, loved him, gave an opportunity when most others weren’t willing to. Unfortunately everyone knew it was a gamble. But they didn’t give up. They gave him an opportunity and the kid couldn’t make it work.

    So this is what’s right for the franchise. Move tf on! They’ve done more than almost any other organization would. It was always a high risk high reward gamble.

    Our fan base is an emotional wreck right now. Anybody complaining must not of lived through the joke of ownership group we had before Les. Wasted years of Dream's talent with that circus.

    If this team breaks through as expected who will the Know It All club blame next? If your happiness in life is impacted by a sports team and the only way you know how to cope is by shitposting 10-20 times a day you may need to go touch some grass and nurture the important circles in your life for a little while.

    Man, this cracks me up. I actually knew a restaurant owner who poured unfinished iced tea from a glass back to the pitcher for another table.

    Then sit on your hands when they start winning again and dont say a peep! Except what will happen is that the sourpuss gang will still find SOMETHING to complain about because why wouldnt they? It was happening when we were winning with Harden. It happened during a tank. It happens during every draft. Every trade deadline. It will happen when this team starts winning again. Its more a shitty fan thing than a shitty ownership thing and even further a shitty fan with a shitty life coming here trying to make other peoples lives shitty too with their cognitive dissonance and lack of self esteem needing to find validation from strangers on sports forums and chat rooms.

    Why do you keep casting those who doubted KPJ and complained about the FO for mishandling it as people who want to see the Rockets fail? It's actually the other way around. Those who are livid about the FO are fans who WANT to see the Rockets successful. It is those who kept defending KPJ like what the FO has been doing that were ignoring the interest of the team in favor of an individual player.

    Come down the high horse and admit that you were as wrong as the FO and move on.

    Who the **** is bringing up KPJ other than yourself? This is the Tilman Fertitta thread right? Thanks for propagating the stereotype for me! This fanbase could be gifted with another owner and GM and the flawed reasoning would be that it would lead to more wins. Maybe the next owner should send out a fan opinion form to CFans members to be able to put together a winner since all the smooth brains here seem to know what it takes to run billion dollar companies.

    Haha, you wish. Funny you are talking about people's lives, going about something you do not have a clue about.

    So most of us are all law abiding, tax paying citizens and that makes us shetty.......in the face what happened in NY......

    If nothing, that is just being normal

    Running your mouth and being vulgar is not being any different.

    LOL what? Holy ****ing tangents Batman! See how you NEEDED to inject some subjective redeeming quality about yourself and then implied that it belongs to a greater group of better people? I hope the therapy you recieve from this site works out, but you could spend some of that hard earned cash on a better outlet for your shortcomings in life.

    I learned today I dont pay taxes and am a criminal! LOL add that to the racist and domestic abuse apologist snark -- Im really entering rarified air this week! You virtue signalers are hilarious. "stop being mean and be civil" among the detritus of the board at large its really just too funny.

    As a long term 30+ year fan of the Rockets I can say that I have zero opinion about Les Alexander, Charlie Ward, or Tilman Fertita. I find it weird that so many of you get so worked up about ownership financial decisions. Of course I’d love if the owner had a blank check — but that has literally never been the case for this team. Why are we shocked and so angry that THIS owner is considering financials?

    The Rockets have always been the least popular sports team in Houston, and Tillman keeps finding ways to bring them even lower. I'm sure kids in Houston don't give af about the current Rockets. The Dynamo may soon surpass the Rockets in popularity.

    Slap a Rockets logo on there because this is what the team has become. Landry's division of sports and arena food.
