We play the Spurs twice the first week of March, do we throw the games on purpose?

    I don't think that will be necessary. I believe in our guys innate ability to suck more than the other team. Few do it better.

    Spurs are like we haven’t done this since the Duncan draft, it’s our time.

    As long as Sengun is protecting the paint, I’m confident the spurs will win at least one of these games

    The Rockets haven't tanked since the 1983/84 season .... This is the Spurs 3rd tank since the last Rockets tank.

    Considering the Spurs went 18 consecutive seasons winning 50+ .... that says a lot about the Rockets as a franchise.

    Nah, we were tanking hard the last two years, especially when we almost lost our pick to OKC.

    That's when this instance of the Rockets tank began .... its not over yet.

    Point is, the Rockets haven' tanked since 83/84 until the last three years.

    Wake me when its over.

    We just need to make sure Tank Commander Green is back healthy by then and he'll take care of the rest.

    1st or 3rd worst team. It doesn't matter anymore. We all have equal 14% odds?

    Well, it would've possibly mattered before Brandon Miller decided to do his thing and Nick Smith became injury-prone. Right now, it's looking like a 2-man draft with some "maybes". Unless you want to take a chance on one of the Thompson Twins or something. This seems to have gone from a "pretty good top-7 or so" draft to ... pray for Victor.

    Why? The Spurs are getting the number 1 pick anyway.

    I saw the script

    Pop is retiring soon lol that ain’t a good enough reason to hand him to the spurs .. If we’re talking about conspiracy … then it’s the Rockets who win the draft . You know the houston rockets are a big market and are known for having legendary Big men ! It’s time for the new era
