    Hard for me to admit but losing is our best option. We need that pick.

    C'mon man... Astros management gone, Morey gone, Hopkins gone, Harden gone, Watt gone, COVID-19, CRAZYTEXASICESTORM-21 ... and you think that draft pick is going to go well? Either we won't get a good pick or we'll get a good pick, make the pick, and the guy is going to trip and blow out both knees on the way to shake Adam Silver's hand at the draft ... :(

    lol cmon another player on this team changes nothing even if its an all time great.... we had one at the start of the season and he thought this team isnt even worth giving a try....

    in fact we still have better record without harden this season despite the losing streak...
    just admit you have a loser mentality and now you just want to embrace it...going totally out of closet...100% apathetic loser

    This isn't pointed at you, Reeko. It could have been a reply to most any post here lately...

    Back when we were contenders it was all complaints all the time around here. Nice to see that some optimism has arisen from the carnage of our first bottom-feeding year in literally decades.

    I think maybe some folks here were crying about the legitimately contending Rockets for so many years because they'd been hoping and praying for a tank and a rebuild all along. If so, they got what they wished for and I'm glad they're feeling so good about it. (I'm certainly not.)

    I hope they enjoy obsessing over how low a seed the Rockets might achieve, crossing their fingers until they're broken over a literal lottery, and the team spending years and years working their way up from the bottom of the league just half as much as they enjoyed trashing our team, players, coaches, and GM's when the team was good or even great.

    The Rockets red glare
    The bombs bursting in air
    Gave proof through the night
    That the tank was still there

    Did you see how I replaced a random word in a song there? I replaced it with 'tank'

    It’s 2021 so should I be on one knee, offended, or offended that your not offended? Asking for a friend... I do know laughing is not the answer.
