    They definitely messed up bad on CP3. But have you seen Harden this year? He's looking like a shell of his former self. I'm starting to wonder if we didn't get extremely lucky to move on from him when we did. He still had peak value.

    I imagine a fair few people imaged a Scola/Lowry/Landry-type Rockets team after the Harden departure.

    Full of grit and hustle and heart.

    People would be fine with losing if they were seeing that effort each game.

    This... this definitely isn't what people had in mind especially when they were promised a 'franchise altering player'.

    Franchise altering alright. From a 15 win team to a less than 10 win team with him.

    Fixed it for you.

    I don't think people truly realise just how bad this franchise is going to be, and for how long.

    With the no clue family in charge.

    Everyone was blowing Stone in the off season for all his maneuvering but now the Fertitas are to blame when the team sucks on the court. Stay classy clutchfans lol

    Wrong person to quote - because I didn't jump on the Stone train my brother. Ironically, I made a very similar quote to yours only a few days ago.

    And I've been a very vocal hater of the Fertitta's from day one.

    Fertitta has always been terrible. This isn't sudden breaking news. Many of us including myself have been saying that for years. These days were clearly on the horizon and it isn't going anywhere soon. Everyone that was blowing Stone pretty much were trying to make themselves feel better about how this team went from a true contender to the worst team in the league in a span of 2-3 years overnight. Now those same folks are crying about how terrible this team is

    This team is not bad and Tilman is not a bad owner considering the McNairs and other owners. There are some things I do not agree with, such as not playing John Wall and Garrison Matthews, in addition to not supplying the roster with a big man.

    I think if Wall was playing, we'd at least have 4 to 5 wins now. Matthews should've been getting House's mins from the start. No one can tell me or properly explain why House is still getting mins.

    And as for a big man, after the Laker's series 2yrs ago, it should've been priority #1 to land a big man

    This team is absolutely terrible. There isn't a player on this roster that knows a thing about leading a team to wins at this level. The closest player that qualifies for that is EG and even then he needs to be a role player to have that kind of impact behind actual stars. Tilman is easily the worst owner in the league. He's proven that since he took over. Nothing hes done since he took over at the end of the summer in 2017 has been positive. Everything was cost cutting and hurt the team year by year and it finally was enough for everyone to leave in a span of 2 years.

    you're really trying to justify 4 or 5 wins as if that's something to note. ouch.

    There was a long line and it lasted for a really long time. What was I supposed to do? Leave and come back? Everyone was doing their best hands and knee act. I don’t think so. There were no Disney World Genie Plus passes offered. It took all summer but I got my turn. It was wonderful. For a bald man he sure does have a lot of hair though. Everybody was flossing during AND after! Fun party but Fertitta ruined it by enrolling the club into the regular season.
