The Rockets have possibly the WORST practice facility in the league.

If you want this fixed , the only solution is for all of us to eat at Landry's everyday .

Haven't you heard ?? Tillman is in financial trouble

 

WE TALKIN' 'BOUT PRACTICE!?

You are correct, but as long as the Rockets have basketballs and 10 ft rims does it matter? The pics of the other practice facilities are cool to see.

Eat at Landry's guys.. Tilman is broke.

 

Wasn’t Tilman talking about building a new practice facility in the near future?

 

this is a good topic for 1 of our media guys to ask him about the next time he’s available at a press conference

if the Pelicans and Thunder have a better practice facility than u do then that’s not a good look

 

I thought their was talk of Tilman working on a new practice facility? Supposedly somewhere outside of the downtown area

edit: nvm this was addressed.

 

Maybe Tillman could convert an old Joe's Crabshack that's been closed down into a practice facility. There's certainly enough of this around town. Awesome job on pulling all the practice facilities. The Rockets one looks like a local church gym.

 

1) Ugly gyms produce better athletes than pretty gyms, in my anecdotal experience.

2) We outperformed all 29 other teams, have been good at developing players and never looked like we're not prepared for a game. I don't see the problem honestly. Is there any link at all between an expensive looking facility and a non-expensive looking one?

3) If you ask me, some of those teams would have been better off putting that money towards luxury tax or buying 2nd round picks. I would rather we get new f'ing jerseys or give free tickets for red rowdies to get closer to the court.

4) Don't be surprised if we have more invested in trainers and equipment than everyone else. Management is smart that way.

 

You just got done saying that our practice facility is attached to the Toyota center. The majority of the time throughout the NBA season during practice the main court within the stadium be intact. If they want a second court, in all likelihood they have that option. It's just not going to be in the same room.

Small but fine?

 

Don't you hear Les Alexander's chuckle when you look at that picture?

 

It's better to have than not to have if money is no object. To me, I don't want to give Tilman any excuses to hide behind. If he's going to drop a hunk of cash for an asset that is difficult to monetize, I'd tell him to hold on to his money and hope we land someone to pay the luxury tax for. A championship will cover the cost of a practice facility a few times over I think.

 

Tillman is in financial trouble he can't afford to build a state of the art practice facility
