(POLL) The deal is done - your prediction for the rest of the year...

That sounds terrible.. we didn’t commit to being a STH holder this year to watch the franchise give up and win 20 games. Not happy

 

Why? Are you expecting to be competitive with John wall as your lead option? Why not endure a rough year for the high lottery pick?

 

The 6th seeded WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!

 

I accidentally clicked post before I finished my response.

 

Tilman won't let them full tank. If the Rockets get a top 4 pick, then they'd be forced to pay a top 4 pick salary slot. He won't let happen.

 

Lol, take your time!

 

I was just saying as I season ticket holder we don’t appreciate committing to this year during a pandemic and the team giving up and potentially only winning 20 games and being one of the worst teams in a league. Not what we signed up for. I’m sure others feel the same. We had the option to not get tickets this year and just carry over to next year but we decided to renew and now we are going to be one of the worst teams in the league.

 

I’m resetting my baseline to the era of Cat and Franchise. It probably will be worse.

 

Imagine Kyrie taking a ride out in the middle of the Mediterranean and seeing the horizon...

'Mr. Tilman is that the edge of the earth?'

...

 

Understood. I would be upset as a season ticket holder too. Why didn’t you roll them over?

 

omg... don't get me started on the mathematical futility of tanking. Suffice it to say for every success story there are 6 or 7 failures with the strategy. Bottom line it doesn't work. It does nothing but destroy your franchise while you repeatedly roll the dice.

 

It does work if you have good scouts. Denver got to where they are now by being bad. So did the Warriors. So did LA. So did the Bucks, so did the Mavs. We are not a FA hot spot....this is the only way bro.

 

Oh no we kept our same tickets for next season and beyond it was just for this year they offered us a chance to opt out and we opted in thinking we would at least be competitive.

 

Bhahaha. It didn't work for any of them. The Bucks and Warriors were atrocious teams for 20 years, so were the Clippers. LA did not use the strategy they picked up LB and AD with $ and fame.

i.e. your idea would doom the Rockets similarly to the Bucks and Warriors with DICE rolls potentially until 2040 - if we are lucky. In effect you are saying "lets emulate every failed team because it eventually worked after decades, i.e. let's be the 90's clippers etc."

 

Honestly I don't see how we win more than 15 games this year. We maybe the worst team in the league. We didn't get anyone playable back in the trade to fix any of our biggest holes.

No shooting,
No size,
No rebounding.
No 3 and D wings.

And we downgraded from Harden to Oladipo.

 

Tanking this and next season is the correct move.

This season has decent top 4 picks. Plus Covid means the loss isn't as big. With no crowds the loss in revenue is small.

Next season has potentially one of the best draft classes of all-time.

It's the correct move.

I want a Championship. Not a 6th spot hope to make the 2nd Rd.

 

the sad part is I don't think Raffy and Tilman are done yet. folks better get their NBA jersey insurance

What? It literally did. An it wasnt 20 years. What? They were only able to get AD because they tanked for Lonzo and Ingram.

With good drafting it doesnt take that long. Warriors had a dynasty LOL. What, ill take years of being bad if we get chips. The alternative is being a middle team with trash picks AND THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO.

 

Disneygaryclark is that you?

 

LOL did he say that?
