    Westbrook entertains. Doesn’t mean we should want him.

    Tim Duncan did not entertain. You should want him.

    Entertainment business first and foremost......you didn't deny it

    You want to talk Westbrook? That same guy that went to the NBA finals and has been MVP
    of the league?

    He must have done something right along the way

    More than, "just entertain"

    Bro, that one was too easy. do better man[​IMG]


    And yea, thats a picture of dream doing up a 99er(barkley was on the team then too) on the bottom corner, research 1994 and doing all you can to win, that will steer you back towards houston Rockets and routing for whats best for the team, not tilman only.

    Clutch city isn't about Les, isnt about Tilman, Isn't about Charles, Harden, Morey, any of just one(except you dreamRudy, the real deal Rocket) Its the Houston Rockets. If you're answer to things that hurt our team is look at the last owner rather (we should apply that standard then, and now) you may just soley be an Anti-Les, or Tilman only fan.

    Not as easy as you make it seem, wish you researched tilman our current owner as much as les the guy who has nothign to do with us anymore.

    https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brie...-fertitta-says-he-laid-off-45000-employees-as

    "This is what people don’t understand, is we all pay today, yesterday’s bills with today’s money,” Fertitta responded. “And when we just got shut down in a 48-hour period, you still have a payroll and severance, $100 million for me because my payroll is $1.5 billion a year, which is done now. But my cash burn today is still $2 million a day, which is unfathomable. But that’s why we’ve got to stay liquid. I went out and did some finances this week that will take me to the end of the year.”




    TM: What would you like to see in it?

    TF: I don’t know. I really haven’t counted on the government. I’m not one of the largest companies in America and I’m not one of the smallest. When it’s all over with, you can write an article [saying] that I survived and I didn’t get any help from the government.

    All the way to(check out the video, from the man's own words):

    Tilman is a schmuck, but if Green is making money, then he obviously is a valuable player. A bust is not marketable.

    Also, in greens defense. He had a solid true shooting and should be an elite shooter/scorer, Morey values all of that and has emphasized it too. he went all in and always says he considers harden the greatest ever. thats all scoring adn creating, not really basedw on defense. maybe he values a battier significantly and would mobley too, but you need your scorers and stars first to surround imo

    What a bull of in this post. State it's not a green v Mobley thread, proceeds to sht on green game while sucking Mobley off. I don't really care who we pick but please make it less obvious of how much of a Mobley man u r. To top it off tilman is pulled into the discussion.

    Morey never drafted **** except for capela. Why bring Morey into this? He never had to make such a decision choosing between top 3 players on draft night. Not sure what your analogy or comparison is about.

    I don't get what the big deal is. Aint nothing wrong with making money, thats fine by me. But the criticism of the guy is during contention if you're trying to nickle and dime, then not doing yourself favors by lying and blaming publicly. not a good look. doesn't help your cause.

    as far as now, go make your money. And to be honest I think the best plyer is whose going to make the money. Timmy D, as 'fundamentals' as he was, was a top selling jersey and merchandise often. Go figure, Winning cures all, it will sell even if you're boring. Always, best player available while rebuilding. I trust Stone, the team to make the BPA decision

    Solely because he never lost enough games to have the chance.

    Basketball is entertainment. It’s a spectators’ sport. Green has the potential to make houston basketball exciting to watch.

    Silas had a plan for Westbrook and Harden coming in. But never materialized. I think he can build on KPJ and Green.

    Goto 3:59 for the details of our owners situation, he also talks about the Rockets. IF you have time, before that when he starts he gives a shoutout to morey and hong kong and another nice touch, later in the video Sec Munchen tells lakers to kick rocks so that was nice.
