    Kinda serious question. Are we willingly tanking? Guys on the squad has pride. But if Rockets org management comes down and say tank; how do they convince the players to do it.

    We'll see how this game goes I guess. Let's see with the team trying their best and see how far it can go.

    Don't get me wrong, I loved Harden. Hate the way he bailed, hope he never wins, whatever.

    What was really bizarre is that he made me not watch both games against the Lakers. I mean, I've watched every single game, every season, for as long as I've been able to afford League Pass. I couldn't watch the last two games. So, yeah, I'm glad he's gone. I know we'll suck, but at least I got my Rockets back. I know Tillmann is cheap and we'll probably suffer, I'll have to come to terms with that and hope I'm wrong. But I couldn't watch Harden anymore, for as much as he's given us during the past 8 season, simply not showing up is not something a professional should ever do. I still hate T-Mac to this day, so that's that.

    Bottom line is I'm more excited with tonight's game, to see a bunch of noones getting beaten by an awful Spurs team, than facing the current champions at home, the team which eliminated us from last season's playoffs. That's how low James has brought me this past few games.

    Yeah it stung not getting Allen. I read he probably gets 100M in the offseason though. Tough decision for a 10-10 guy with no offensive moves if that is what he lands within a year. It stings not getting allen, but I get the move both ways.

    Wall & Gordon out and you wonder why Harden wanted out

    I don't blame Harden

    Harden traded and got back Calvin's broadcast rights.

    Passive tanking, guys won't admit it to media, but when games get out of hand, let's say by more than 15 pts, they probably chill.

    His vagina hurts because he recently found out he’s a scrub.

    Starting PG out.
    Former starting SG was just traded.
    New starting SG not here yet.
    Backup SG out.

    With Wood, we're the Anthony Davis Pelicans with a worse Anthony Davis.

    Woohoo.

    Going to miss this guy.



    Christian will too methinks.



    But on to the next Rockets legend.

    Hopefully its Wood, not a lot of trust in new Rockets FO or ownership to draft one.

    Yeah that assumes we were still trying to contend. At this point, get ready for some blowouts.
