    RR,

    So you are getting butt hurt that you have to hide behind the kids in the stands, that is your argument?

    Wait until those kids grow up on 14th pick after 14th pick and stop going to the games and move on to something else.

    Wait until those kids watch a revolving door of their favorite players traded again and again for no improvement.

    Then see how they feel about the franchise?

    Bitter, **** yes, I am bitter, I am tired of the BS excuses.....they should have lost this game - it was BETTER for the organization overall.

    Kids have short memories...they would have had fun regardless, the wins don't matter as long as Clutch the bear messes up their hair.

    I think JVG was a good coach, just wrong for that team at the time...but I would welcome him back with OPEN arms over McHale.....and be very happy about it.

    I won't lie, I wanted them to lose. I was in the 8th row behind the goal and couldn't resist the urge to cheer. THe fans wanted the win. They were loud when it was close at the end and they didn't care about draft picks then so I must admit, I found a way to not care either and cheer for the team.

    Interesting that you pick the kids that I was hiding behind...not the other fans or the players or the Rockets staff...but kids that I was hiding behind. Sheesh, Dada.

    But you still don't get it so I'll repeat it: You would rather have these kids and fans and players and staff leave the arena with their heads down just so you can have your way. Forget what everybody at the Toyota Center wanted. And forget about what the Les, Morey or McHale wanted. Lets make sure Dada and his troops get that 13th pick.

    Dude, that is high and mighty.

    A win against the last place team in the conference that will make us 9th or the possibility of increasing our lotto selection odds? Logically, winning this was detrimental. It served no purpose other than giving temporary gratification to the happy-go-lucky rocket fans. Most of them fail to realize the gravity of situation we're are currently facing.

    It was fan appreciation night. Losing this would have been a huge FU to the fans.

    Let's revisit that on draft night. It may not matter at all...but it just might.

    It is not about what I want, it is what is BEST for the Rockets organization, I am sorry you can't see that.

    Tell him that Gogi is way better - and Lowry throws basketballs at female referees who are also cops.

    If Gogi was way better, we would be in the playoffs. Period. Better in that stretch yes.....but not by much

    Impressed by Greg Smith's weak side rebounding. I think Smith would have played better than PPat during our horrible stretch.

    Way way better, but the team ran out of gas at the end, and McHale is a dumbass in 4th quarter situations by never playing a legitimate center.

    Gogi is actually better than you think. He was doing his thing the whole time. It was other players not pulling their weight on the floor. He is the point that we have been waiting for. It will just take some here time to figure it out.

    Think about it. You know they can't keep both Dragic and Lowry. Why hasn't Morey tweeted anything about fans wooing Lowry??

    depends what you think is the right PG for you. Personally I like someone in the mold of a Rondo with little better midrange shooting.... triple double FTW!!!

    This is one of the dumbest things I've read in a long time.. So Les and Morey should care more about how people feel about ONE GAME then something that is quite possibly better for the franchise?? :confused:

    I've been arguing this but he doesn't get it. As long as he can get his instant gratification of a win that means nothing, he'll choose it over potentially helping the franchise for the future by losing. Don't try argue logically with this guy.
