    Is it even Royce who's deleting his tweets? Maybe it's his manager or assistant who's doing the sensible thing, letting Royce blow off steam in his tweets and then protecting him afterwards.

    This went from shocking to sad to embarassing and now it's just annoying.

    He's a complete loony and I hope he gets his just desserts for these sorts of actions. This is a ******* embarrassment. It really is.

    Look on the bright side.

    Sooner or later this will blow over, and then people will be back to complaining about the media circus that Linsanity and Harden bring to the team.

    There's some irony in there somewhere... :p

    Has anyone stopped to think why he's so opposed to see the 3rd party doctor that the Rockets have assigned him to???

    Could it be that he's afraid of what he might say?.. Maybe its NOT the Rockets fault for once?

    Not saying he DOESN'T have a mental illness, but it could be possible that not everything can be attributed to his disorder, and everyone isn't out to get him.

    He's obviously a very troubled young man, highly, highly delusional, and paranoid. Im not a doctor, but this is extremely obvious. Any doctor that would clear him for life in the NBA should lose their license.

    Honestly, its unfair for the NBA to allow him to continue in the NBA. He must be forced by the NBA to see MULTIPLE doctors over the course of a long term treatment in an institution before he's allowed to return, and the Rockets should be given an injured player exception for their troubles.

    This young man needs help. Serious help, and its not the Rockets place to be burdened with a paranoid delusional young man headed in freefall.

    Enough is enough. This ungrateful brat does realize that the Rockets took a chance on him and bent to fit his needs right? He is an unproven rookie, he isn't a blue chip A #1 or anything, he's a nothing. This is seriously the most disrespectful display I've ever seen towards the Rockets short of the Tmac surgery saga. The Rockets didn't take it from the then highest paid player in the league, they damn sure aren't going to take it from this clown. Don't even trade him, send his ass to Rio Grand for the next 3 years. On a plain.

    he's standing up and being honest for his #anxietytroopers !!!!

    LOL, this would be amusing and funny if he was on another team, but it's getting pretty comical regardless. Dude just threw his career out the window. I guess he doesn't realize this is the real world and you follow directions by your employer, not you dictating things to your employer.

    Why are all Royce's recent tweets in the Future: Look , they say Nov 15th. And why did that photo of his phone calendar say Wed, Nov 15th

    Aliens?
