    Usually we can look forward to turning a corner, and it’s so exciting ‘cause “what’s behind that corner?” Sometimes it’s some gel, sometimes it’s some culture, maybe some transition D…but this time there is no corner in sight to turn.

    Even if we’re blind we can feel the wall and follow it with hopeful optimism towards a corner. Hopefully not feeling the wall in the opposite way, away from a corner.

    But now it’s like there isn’t even a wall. With no wall how can there be a corner. What if the wall is a giant circle and we’re going in loops, ergo NO CORNER!


    i.d.i.o.t.

    did you know Silas is Greek/Latin for forest? I read this on the web. Forests have no corners. They just go and go and go and go.

    They can also get burned by stupidity, carelessness, and inattention.

    Is @CHAMPBOY leading you??

    He can't figure out the direction either.

    It didn't deserve its own thread.

    "And with the third pick of the 2023-24 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets select..."

    People should start preparing themselves mentally for this.

    But there's also another corner that can lead to the 5th pick or something. :oops:

    I will go here with you.

    We are blindly free falling in a vortex of hopelessness. It’s been stated we going towards the lottery. With each spin it gets harder and less enjoyable not the knowing when or where we land. Top 6 is a given but is that even worth the fall. We made this jump with reservation in the past but now it seems to be our entire design for the future. But it can’t be, for that one word the stings when heard. Damage then and even more damage now… Westbrook… why.

    Tilman, I enjoy his toys but he is fast to point out they are for him and his family first. His son Patrick waits to make it all his…

    They won’t because they have no math skills and think that it’s the NFL. Quick summary…we have basically a 1.5 in 10 chance of getting those guys. For the even dumber fans of Houston (which based on this thread there are many)…it’s like staying home from the beach because there is a 10% chance of rain.

    More than half our roster is under 22. That alone means just getting older with more games experienced under their belt can make them better.

    even if there's no corner to turn I'm sure we are headed around the bend . . . the future's so bright we gotta wear shades
