This is the saddest era of Rocket basketball since the 70s...

Uhh. Playoff team with two MVP caliber guards. How is that “the saddest?”

Were you around for the Cato-Mo Taylor-Shandon Anderson years? Or the post Yao years where we were the 9th seed every year?

 

I think the Rockets of the late 90s to early 2000s was a lot sadder than now. Mobley/Francis vs Harden/Westbrook isn't even a comparison, really. I'll wait and see how the chemistry fits and how we play before making any judgments.

 

Let's hold off a little bit until the full details come out.

 

What makes is sad is having two MVP caliber guards and still prioritizing tax savings, giving up yet another first round pick to do so.

 

If we get a decent Center like Looney it will be ok. We have 2 spots available

 

Um.. Francis/Mobley era and K-Mart/Scola 9th seed era were worse eras than Harden/Westbrook. come one guys!

 

Naw let’s cry like little b****es and act like the sky is falling. This dude don’t know Rockets sadness.

 

lmfao

Bro...

Just wait until Harden and Morey are gone, and all that's left is Tilman. *THEN* you will see a sad era of Rockets basketball.

 

@Zboy @CometsWin

Huh? Tmac/Yao era got us first round exits

Harden can sleepwalk through the first round

I really question the historical knowledge of Clutchfans

except for some proven fans

 

I guess the OP enjoyed watching Loozer, Okur, and Fisher in a Jazz jersey dominating us in the playoffs lulz...

Those were dark days.

 

Do newbs even remember the Francis era or the Kevin Martin era?
@Rocket River

Thank god 99ers are still here

 

Lol come on dude. Even I someone who infamously known for criticizing Harden, acknowledge that the Francis/Mobley era was far worse.

It's hard to say "worst era of Rocket ball" when the team has been in 7 straight playoff appearanced and is going to go on to their 8th straight appearance.

 

Go watch us select 14th in the draft 3 years in a row or lose game 7 to the Mavs by 40 in the 1st round or watch Carlos Boozer sh*t all over us in the 1st round for multiple years and then come back in here and tell me you're sad. That said, Tillman worries me. After Harden/Morey I fear we could become Knicks-level bad as an organization.

 

Yea two MVPs and we are not even contenders in most peoples eyes. Thats literally pathetic.

A 65 win team that took the most stacked roster of all time to 7 games turned into a gimmicky laughing stock within 3 years. "Saddest" is an understatement

 

it may be the most infuriating. but its not the saddest. come on man.

Harden is averaging a million points. That alone is less sad than my boy Scola getting us the last pick in the lottery year after year.

THINK before you post

 

@Os Trigonum @Air Yordan

When I tell you newbs don't know JACK about Rockets history

I am proved correct

EVERY DAY

 

I assume people know nothing about the Rockets
except for a select few

 

@Os Trigonum
I told you only the 99ers are the Clutchfans alumni where every single esteemed member knows Rockets history
