    you really had to bring Leslie into this. :p:p:p

    This is the Tilman Fertita show now bb. We have three weeks to watch him and Morey work their magic to duck the luxury tax while staying flexible for buyouts and future trades because next season is the one they pay the tax.

    Every Houston sports fan who lived through the '70s '80s, and early '90s knew what Choke City meant. Even the Cougars managed to choke away a championship game they could not lose. The Buffalo game was the pinnacle moment of Choke City. The name "Clutch City" was born out of that reputation when the Rockets finally dispelled that choke label.

    After the short-lived glory created by the Rockets, it went right back to sports wasteland with all three major sports teams floundering in the '00s. It wasn't until the mid-'10 when the Astros and the Rockets both rose to contending status.

    Rockets didn’t need to cheat for their championships...Astros not only cheated, but were dumb enough to get caught

    Rockets the only ones that didn’t have to cheat to do it, and they got 2 of em...Les needs to stop the fckery and bring back the pure championship trophies...they belong in Houston, not in some basement or garage in Florida

    Great. Now Tilman will get jealous of all the attention and fire Morey.

    What’s so hypocritical about the dumb newbs here is back then they criticize us pure fans for saying the owner Leslie was a worse owner than Cuban

    now these dumb piglets are saying it’s ok to trash Tilman but somehow Leslie gets a pass?

    I like OP but this isn't aging well. :D
    Rockets won by 30 (139-109) vs the Wolves on January 11.
    This thread was made January 12.
    The Rockets have since choked and have lost 4 in a row.

    Astros still >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Rockets falling by the wayside with the shitty Texans.
    Rockets = Texans = Rockets
    Tilman = Cal
