    We are waiting for the debate. Which would definitely be entertaining. I might pay per view that.

    Man, just 3 years ago, we were right near the top of the NBA world, with the "greatest team ever assembled" on the ropes and a third Larry O'Brien trophy in our sights.

    Then CP3 pops a hammy and the slow-motion flushing of the Rockets franchise began.

    The difference is Morey not a lame duck GM.

    Most importantly, Tilly was not owner then.

    Life comes at you fast.

    Watching the Rockets being penny pinched while on the precipice of winning a title has been infuriating. Dumbest chit I have ever seen.

    Tilman waiting for the best bargain bin deals. Do you how much it costs to buy a supercar for all your kids?

    He has to save money for that.

    I think Joel Embid is a headache that no amount of Tylenol can fix. Nope, not interested.

    As for the coach, I think it has been decided. The delay is crossing all the t's and dotting all the i's in the contract and transition.

    Yep. This trade is dumb. I like getting rid of westbrook but we literally waited a season and a half to finally get a decent size 3/4 that does what covington does. Westbrook and house for embiid and we'll talk!

    I agree that is a lot for Embid and the corpse of Al Horford...we keep one of those pieces sending out at least

    how do we know they haven't made a decision? Just because they haven't finalized a deal or announced the decision prior to finalizing the deal doesn't mean a decision hasn't been made.

    You could almost feel it at the time... but it's still unbelievable. Some people are still in denial. I guess they can enjoy that for now.

    The sooner you hire someone, the sooner you have to start paying them. If the cat is in the bag, might as well wait as long as possible to put off that fat paycheck.

    It's tacky and cheap, but we all know the Rox ownership by now....
