    Beats all you idiots that felt this team didn’t need Harden and that the offense would be so good with “democracy ball” and “no sticky ball”.... welcome to reality b****es.

    Appreciate what you have when you have it... now hope that the Rockets draft well in the lottery over the next couple years and this doesn’t last long.

    Also make sure you let Fertitta and Senator Cruz and LT. Governor Pax how you feel.

    Don’t matter how much a offensive genius Silas is - these guys can’t shoot!

    How about when you have a Harden, you go all-in with him and spend more than the other teams?

    Look up the salary caps the past few seasons and see how much Rockets actually spent. Could the franchise have spent more money to provide Harden more talent?

    The answer is ABSOLUTELY.

    I hate to pull the race card on the coach but dude the reason you didn't get a coaching gig for 22 years is not because you're black its because you lack complete common sense

    we get blown out by 30 points by the Bulls we can't shoot from the outside and yet by far our best 3-point shooter Mason Jones rots on the bench game after game

    I mean if they are about to trade Gordon and wall then I will eat crow and and they are showcasing them but I don't think that's what's going on

    I don't think we can trade Gordon or wall regardles

    I think the coach picks his favorites from loyalty in from being friends and being too nice and smiling too much and then he if you don't get on his good side like Mason Jones you sit on the bench even if you're the best three-point shooter and we need three point shooting badly


    I tried to get Silas the benefit of the doubt I waited half the season before I made this post but damn he would rather cut off his nose to spite his face what a moron

    Jvg or Lucas would have been worse

    This comes from the top...I no longer trust tad or tilman in making coaching hires...all three of our top choices including Silas absolutely suck

    I could be petty and bump the “trade harden” thread. But I won’t because it’s not even worth it. Do people realize how hard it is to get an all time great player lol. It’s insanely hard, especially in the nba. And so many here wanted him gone in his prime smh

    Every NBA team can have their day. Bulls will win some games. But we're getting blown out. Can't blame it on lack of practice or lack of rest. We had both so.

    Gonna call it a night.

    Down by 28 to the bulls? 8th straight? Expectations are low enough that Silas won’t be on hot seat. Injuries and early drama (you know losing a franchise player) plagued his first season as head coach.

    but don’t get it twisted this team has a myriad of holes Stone better get to filling this offeseason

    JVG would have gotten much more with this group. The Rockets are poorly coached. After extra day of practice, they look worse

    Would love to keep Nwaba back but he should be playing in a contender team.

    I've said trading him was the stupidest thing we could do since the rumors started.

    We mortgaged our future multiple times in the interest of short-term victories over the years. When we acquired CP3, we traded away a raft of attractive young players: Montrezl, Lou Williams, and Pat Beverly along with our first round pick in 2018. Our 2019 first rounder was traded away to offload Brandon Knight's contract. Our 2020 first rounder (along with a number of future picks and swaps) went out the door with the Westbrook trade. The last first round pick this team had was in 2015.

    You can't put all of this on Tillman. Fact is we went all-in and didn't get it done. Our window has since closed, and we are left with a roster of mediocre veterans who make sense as "fit" players on a developed roster but have no value for a team full of subpar players.

    The best shot we had for continuing to play somewhat capably was the Harden trade, and the FO decided accumulating first rounders was more important than getting any talent back at all, basically giving away Jarrett Allen for nothing and Caris Lavert for an over the hill Oladipo. Chances are any moves we make at the deadline will be to offload talent, not get anyone back, so we mine as well get used to blowouts and sucking.

    But but but cf’s said the culture and ball movement would be great. Reality checks sure are a b**** huh. Rockets sucking for years is news to you? It shouldn’t be. Only delusional folks thought this team would be any good or relevant without a true elite player hiding the long list of flaws so many of these players have. If You didn’t appreciate what this team had. That’s your own fault. Get used it what it is now
