    Don’t understand the fans of Houston. Rockets haven’t won anything in nearly 30 years and now are the doormat/laughing stock of the NBA and nobody holds anyone in this organization accountable. Everyone appears to love Tilman, Stone. and the coaching staff. I know…I know…just shut the h### up as we’re on the cusp of greatness next year with an 86% chance of not getting the first pick!!! Never ever seen a less demanding fanbase as Houston. Nobody is held accountable for anything (by the fans) so the result is the team does nothing and quietly collects the league’s revenue sharing perks. As fans, we get no national tv games and get to watch three straight seasons of league worst play with a coach and gm who have already accumulated the worst record in NBA history. This is a call for action, unfortunately nobody in Houston is listening.

    The funny thing is where was all this outrage when a number of us saw how Tilman was wasting a 65 win perennial contender in a span of 2 years and demolished it prematurely. Yall didn't appreciate what the rockets were, look at you now.

    So nowwwww yall want to bittcch and complain everyday when the rockets are in the full rebuild and the worst team in the league which was forthcoming and yall were warned this was coming. None of this was happening when the rockets were ever so close to breaking through the GS dynasty. For a lot of yall that hated Harden, thought westbrick was great, believed in Tilman's cheapness and LTS that he never gave cp3/harden the full rotational help needed, you absolutely deserve this and what the rockets are.

    Reality is a bittchh aint it. How easily it was to think oh the rockets will be back to relevance in no time. WRONG. get used to this. it's not going anywhere anytime soon

    stop with this free pass nonsense. people like OP were the ones giving out free passes years ago, failing to see what was coming. You're way behind and have no room to complain all of a sudden. You deserve this just like Tilman who's responsible for most of it.

    Bingo.

    I don't want to be one of those guys who says, "We tried to warn you," but... we actually DID try to warn you.

    Talk about your revisionist history. Quit trying to sell me we were a Trevor Ariza away from beating the warriors in the season following the 65-win year.

    Our success was all about the balance between Harden and Paul - our superstars. And two critical factors killed the team after success in the initial run of the tandem

    A) Paul came in out of shape and slower rendering us an incredibly poor defensive backcourt, especially against fast point guards.

    B) Harden fell in love with the efficiency of iso/pick n roll and kick ball. It hurt team chemistry and players b****ed about their lack of touches and involvement and when defenders keyed in on Harden in the playoffs - Harden pulled a Harden


    And don’t get me started on the league countering the vertical spacing that initially worked so well with Capela

    I don’t need to sell you on a damn thing. I couldn’t careless less. And this isn’t revisionist history. Certainly not for me. I was one of a number of folks who saw these sorry years coming from the start, starting with the sorry ass Summer of melo right after the 1st year of cp3/harden. I’ve already posted the dismal 2 year span as it was literally happening how stupid all the decisions were.

    For folks like you, you deserve this dismal team. It’s revisionist history for you, cause you were one of the ones on the other side thinking tilman was right in all the dumb choices he made.

    Well I’m glad I “deserve it”. Especially when I don’t see it as dismal. We got out of all the bad contracts and brought in young talent in record time. We just need to balance the roster and add some coaching/maybe a new gm.

    You probably missed the major positives still b****ing about what they didn’t do even though they did what they should have.

    enjoy your misery. You definitely “deserve” it

    If you don’t see it as dismal you’re just lying to yourself or you just enjoy losing and bad basketball. Either way congrats. That’s what I would expect from a tilman supporter. There were no major positives.

    Yup again enjoy your fake fascination. You’ll be doing so for a long time

    I have been enjoying being right. That’s why I bump the threads created about laughable play in and wins and a bunch of other delusional threads. I continue to do so

    can I fill your haterade for you? Don’t want you to run out. In a life you only live once and are so smart that you hate the franchise - seems like you’d quit wasting time on this board instead of trying to convince people you are right


    Love ya - smoothie boochies

    I don’t need to convince people. The rockets do that for me everyday. For folks like you you stay delusional. Congrats
