For giving away KMJ and all our decent backups for absolutely NOTHING!!! Oh and also for making sure that we still have no size compared to other teams and the bigs that we do have aren’t tough enough and/or are toothpicks!!!

The KMJ loss was so huge that it overshadows those other mentioned. Personally thought Garuba and Christopher had potential. Picking Jalen over 7 footer Mobley another monstrously huge mistake. Not keeping Jarrett Allen huge mistake! Signing Silas over JVG huge mistake! How many mulligans does this non-basketball lawyer get???
One thing I've learned on this board is that other players are always better than ours because no one watches them play. It's like the idealized version of each player compared to the night in and night out version of our players that we watch religiously. It's hard to watch even half of the games, so I do get it, but yeah, this is a perfect example. When KJM was here, we saw all of his flaws, and now that he's gone, we only remember the slashing and dunking.
After one game? I promise as soon as we go on a winning streak threadstarter will quietly disappear giving Stone no credit lol. This Stone hatred is beyond basketball with some of you
Rafael Stone is a fraud and the Rockets are now in their Brian Hoyer Texans era. I cannot be paid to care about this team at this point in time.
C'mon. Chill out. We'll get there. Granted, it's just one game.. and we were going to have matchup problems with their FRONTcourt...But seeing that backcourt dominate like that..... FVV and Jalen do make for a weak guard tandem on D.
