    Lmao WB means well while making mistakes and meanwhile TF is just playing everyone and doing a Loki the God of Mischief impersonation.

    doesn't matter if he means well or not. The fact is he was a terrible mistake from day 1. and so is tilman.

    both have been disasters from the start

    Mike Dan Tony really needs to remain in his seat with his seatbelt fastened, and bring his seat back to its forward position, in preparation for landing.

    I think the issue was more then just a phone call. Tillman was never believer in mike or he would have extended him after 2018 WCF .

    This narrative has been spun but it's not supported by facts. Morey has publicly wooed DAntoni. Tilman and Morey and Tad flew to Dantoni's WV home to get an extension hammered out and thought they had one done. His agent nixed it.

    Tilman wanted to re-sign Dantoni before this year, he just thought he could throw his dick around and bully Dantoni into taking less money with "incentives" because that's how he operates.

    I agree that Tilman should have called MDA, as a sign of courtesy and good manners, and communicated his intentions that he should no longer be the Rockets coach. But what I don't understand is ... MDA had aspirations to continue being the coach? After the resounding failure of his system and being absolutely unable to make the necessary adjustments during all the decisive games? Really? Amazing.

    I mean, opinions can change.

    With that being said...LOL @ DD.

    Also, how did you even find that, @IBTL? o_O

    I'll never quit on the team personally, even if we become Knicks south. I'll always watch because I love the sport and I'll watch them any way along with every other team...but I'll just bandwagon onto teams with players I like.

    I'm bandwagoning the Nuggets tonight just because it would be great to deny the media their LA matchup. Even though I do like Kawhi...

    Albert Einstein : “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” ... Widely known are the words from Albert Einstein

    The Rockets Organization from the Front Office to the Coaches and the Roster needs to Change.
    The Rockets need real 3 Point Shooting Point Guard that can tske over tje Game for James Harden and have more Youth on the Team in the Worst way.

    Tilly talking about stepping on necks after not re-signing Ariza, trading away 1st & 2nd rounders and DeAnthony Melton to cut salary to get under LT was a joke. This was the season after a Rockets won a franchise 65 wins and pushed GSW in WCF to breaking point before CP3 snapped his hammy.

    The time to step on necks was in offseason, trade for Jimmy Butler and/or sign Lebron James.

    Not alienate key assistant coaches and decimate your roster of glue players, cutting corners by adding euro-league vet min players as replacements for guys who helped put Rockets defense in top 6.

    Tilly does not walk his talk.

    Tilly is a coward and a loser.

    This seems like nothing to get upset with over as a fan. Most assumed that D'Antoni was gone if the Rockets failed in the playoffs again anyway. I don't understand all the Fertita outrage. I would've been upset if he had extended D'Antoni.

    It was time for the Rockets and D’Antoni to end their partnership, but nobody is going to want to play or work for Tilman Fertitta if he treats his well-respected employees like this. All he had to do was pick up the phone, thank D’Antoni for his service to the organization, and say it’s time to mutually go our separate ways. Instead, he can’t be bothered to act with a little bit of class.

    Yep, changed my mind after seeing his actions, the great day comment was because he was a Houstonian and would keep the team in Houston - he has since proven to be ****.

    We are allowed to view evidence and make an updated opinion when circumstances change, IBTL - I know you love to follow me around like a lost puppy trying gotchas......

    Must be tough to be bothered so much by what someone posts on a message board - that you go search for things.....to just say "Gotcha".....I pity you.

    :)

    DD

    PS. If we choose JVG, I love it....I hated JVG for the previous team - thought he lost them, but for this one, he would be perfect, get to digging young man....
