Just for the fans who want to see basketball not owners I mean does Harden go to the club for the cheap steak and lobster ? @Jontro
These cheapskates never show up to games The ‘owner’ is never a reason why people go to an nba game none of us real fans came to see Les or tilman But these fake fans pretend to while we all know they can’t find Houston on a map of Houston
I'm right there with you, Tilman has turned into this forum's fav scapegoat... How long was Les the owner? An actual penny pinching Communist Money loving tool.... And for years, he never had any sort of reputation other than that of him being the owner. Not the most exciting thing to talk about, not the main attraction. He was in the spotlight every now n then when it came to a free agent getting paid but pretty much almost never in the spotlight. In comes Tilman an all of sudden, no one wants to play for him. He is broke, he is cheap he only cares about money. He wants to draft possibly the best player in the draft because of financial gain. Its his fault everyone left, despite well documented proof everyone wanted out for their personal failures and inability to handle adversity. Now people are blaming Tilman for players not giving Houston workouts? Despite the fact that the organization has been extremely professional and generous to everyone that has gone. News breaks that Matt Bullard will no be coming back, everyone loses their $hit blaming Tilman, then they find out he is actually moving up to a better position with the same ownership and they all stfu because their narrative is bs insane. As I have said before, super rich owners don't just win chips, Steve Ballmer for example has not even brought a finals to his team by just simply paying money like crazy. But everyone wants to ride this fantasy that with an owner they like we would have already won back to back to back chips with Harden who has proven time and time again to be incapable of leading a team. An owner is never the reason people go to a game, but in Houston the "fans" love finding reasons on why the owner is keeping them from enjoying/liking or supporting our team.
On the subject of money, if they sell next year's uni, there better not be a Credit Karma logo on it. Also not a fan of the sponsor logo on the courts. Doesn't look good. Sponsor ads are already on the long announcer table, which is visible to TV camera. Why mess with the balance. Ads on the ball? Ads on the arm/leg sleeves Ads on Ref's uni. Ads on the green light they used for challenges. (Sponsored by mountain dew)
The only reason I see the cheapskate title applying to tilman is he talks a big game about doing whatever It takes to win and just does the exact opposite while conveniently avoiding luxury tax If the man can't bother to going all in on Harden, he's not gonna spend money on anyone.
All these fake fans who say they knew Les are liars They have to be old as me to know Les after he took over from Charlie Thomas to even have an opinion on cheap owners Houston has bad owners for many franchises Do they even know what Les did to make his money back in the day ?? No I don’t care what Tilman does . That’s not what the draft is about . anyone think about Les when we got Bryce Drew and Mirshad Turkan ? we wasted gigabytes of hard drive space talking about crappy players we drafted that don’t exist in the nba anymore like Joe Chee we got the number 2 pick. If people start thinking about Tilman and not be excited about players then they were never fans period
What do you mean not all in with harden ? You mean pay him the max salary ? harden left cause he wanted to be with Durant That era is over
