    2.2 billion is overvalue for such a bad team. Players are overpaid. It could be as low as 1.7 billion.

    I bet Tilman loses $500 million.

    You are really obsessed with Tilman's money.

    I think it's just because that's fresh news. Hopefully in a couple of years the money conspiracies can chill unless there's tangible evidence that the owner made a decision.

    I mean, sure, I drove past Tilman Fertitta standing in front of the Starbucks on the southeast corner of Hillcroft and 59, wearing an advertising billboard that says:
    EAT AT LANDRY'S:
    PLEASE.
    But why obsess over his money?

    id rather not make the playoffs at all at an 8th seed. lets take our chances in the lottery.

    i dont think this team can turn things around enough to be a serious contender without some moves. the west is just too damn stacked man. 14 teams all have a legit shot of getting 8 spots. its painful to watch james have to do so much for this team to have a chance. i cant stomach 3 more years of cp3 if this is how he is going to play. no teams want to help the rockets get better. the draft may be the way to go to improve the team.

    I think 2019 First and Knight contract are stapling together. Tilman is likely to dump 2019 First.

    My expectations are that we were a dominant, alltime great team in the history of the universe in 2017-18 and only an unholy confluence of **** luck (a hamstring, Scott Foster, etc) kept us from winning the post-season exhibition trophy to put beside our league trophy.

    last year was our chance...1 hamstring away from a title

    who knows when we’ll have a season as special as that again...could easily be 10+ years

    Harden’s prime will be wasted

    The Rockets have the look of a "broken" team. I don't see a path out of the mess they are in. Simply put, they picked the wrong role players. Plus, CP is either injured or is in a premature aging process whereby he became 40 overnight. Harden's lifestyle may be catching up with him. If they make the playoffs, and there is little reason to think they will, their stay will be short lived. And that is the cheery news for the day.
