Nah bro. We're just saying the manager is doing bad. Love the Rockets, love what Stone is doing. KPJ,KMJ,Tate,Wood all made me excited for the future even though we're at the bottom of the damn league and lost all staff and personell after cheaping out and frankly a dude lying about it. thats what its about. to the owner, enjoy the fruits of your labor it is an increidble psition to be in, as a houstonian that should be awesome to have a local take over the team. I was happy and felt he'd be better then les, btu the lies began, the deflection, meanwhile we're down to not one meaningful game last year. The frustration is fair. And we're adults evaluating the team, if you can't handle objective criticism on our actual transaction and be able to differentiate just like when we're talking abotu one player, coach, or whatever that we're talking abotu the management from the top then thats what you're messing heres just a few examples for you to enjoy what it is that we feel is hurting the rockets, not what defines the rockets and thus is above criticism https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...amn-turmoil-unsettling-vibe-surrounds-rockets I think his agent did me a favor, OK," Fertitta said at the media availability, explaining that he now had an easy out if the Rockets had a disappointing year and decided to move on from D'Antoni. That's typically not the kind of comment made out loud, much less to the media, by an owner who is attempting to defuse drama. Of course, it's also an unusual approach to point out a coach's age and publicly wonder whether he wanted to continue working beyond next season, as Fertitta did when asked by the Houston Chronicle weeks earlier about a potential extension. That prompted the 68-year-old D'Antoni to make it clear that he planned to coach "at a high level for at least another three years." Nor is it normal NBA business practice to spill the specifics of an offer that wasn't accepted. Fertitta volunteered that the "great extension offer" he made D'Antoni included a $5 million base salary -- below market value for a coach of his stature -- and $1 million in incentives for each playoff round won. Fertitta failed to mention the buyout language that guaranteed D'Antoni only half of his base salary if the Rockets fired him before the extension began. That was the primary sticking point for D'Antoni, who hoped for a commitment of two more seasons beyond this contract and never seriously considered a half-hearted offer of one more year. “Last year (getting under the luxury tax) was a fluke. We were going to be in the (tax). It was an accident. I’m still trying to figure out how we got under. I was positive we were going to be in it by $11 million. But if I’m in the luxury tax, I expect us to win.” https://spacecityscoop.com/2020/07/01/chris-paul-trevor-ariza-costly-houston-rockets/ https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/10/16/21519593/daryl-morey-houston-rockets-luxury-tax-resign https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/20...tta-tells-final-hours-of-paul-westbrook-deal/ Theres a whole lot more that hurts not helps our franchise, so yea...we're going for the rockets, are you tilman only fans? Of course what he does is consequential so we want him to get it right, and he hasnt, so lets steer the energy the right way and he can enjyo it, get that tropy, all the good stuff... "
I wish Tilman was serious and about winning. Sorry, you don’t get to tear down a 65-win team, see every major player and front office executive walk out the door (some even making up excuses to get out of town) and then tell fans to stop complaining, stop joking around and “treat them seriously”. And no, you don’t get to chalk it up to “normal (franchise) turnover”. Thaddeus Brown - GONE Daryl “going to spend more time with my family…(10 days later) Just kidding” Morey - GONE Mike D’Antoni - GONE Gutting Mike D’Antoni’s coaching staff (and making Mike a one-year lame duck coach) - GONE James Harden - GONE Russell Westbrook - GONE Role players - GONE People are rightly skeptical. Who else is gonna bolt & get the hell outta town next? You appointed your son to shadow and follow Daryl’s every move and now Rafael. And what are his qualifications (to be in the front office, sitting in on decision making), besides being daddy’s boy? You’re scared of the repeater tax, having never paid the luxury tax ONCE. “Getting under the luxury tax was a fluke! No idea how that happened!” Not gonna pay the luxury tax while you have James Harden, who the hell ARE you gonna pay it for? You get into a public pissing match with D’Antoni over his contract. (A half-hearted lowball offer at that.) Why were most signings minimum free agents? Why were draft picks traded to dump salary? Remember when the MLE went unused two summers in a row? (Part was used on House one year) How many trade exceptions went unused? Then lies to the fans. (Either himself or through his media mouthpieces) “Getting under the luxury tax was a fluke! No idea how that happened!” “Whatever it takes!” “Green light to bust the budget!” “Luxury tax has never come up.” “Daryl’s hands are not tied behind his back.” “Win at all costs!” SIGNED Were any of these signings for more than the minimum? Minimum signings everywhere, depending on mid-season buyouts to save us. 2017-18 Danuel House Isaiah Canaan Briante Weber Gerald Green Demetrius Jackson R.J.

@J.R. just nuked this thread Our new commentators are going to have to say "brought to you by Carls Jr Credit Karma Money" after every play We're doomed Fern Titz is a broke POS
Look…..all these facts, you know, CLEARLY taken out of context. And you need to put more time and effort into your research. This was slapdash at best. (Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk, oggiddy-oggiddy, WISE GUY, ay)
This has it all, bet you they ant gonnna respond with substance...just more emotional pleas for their oddly picked idol to latch to. dude even made us look bad in front of the government asking to classify loans not meant for his size of business:/ before that he said : TM: What would you like to see in it? TF: I don’t know. I really haven’t counted on the government. I’m not one of the largest companies in America and I’m not one of the smallest. When it’s all over with, you can write an article [saying] that I survived and I didn’t get any help from the government. @bmd so yea I think you're getting mad at the wrong thing. This is lke if us fans said harden start playing defense you're making us lose and you saying SHT UP SUPPORT HIM OR DONT BE A REAL FAN...no we're rooting for the rockets and we're callng it out if someone is messing with what you were right about a GREAT city and organization tthat precedded the current and former guy.
@DonatelloLimestone owner willing to spend and pay the LT for a contender…this is what Tilman should’ve been doing during the 2018 offseason and entire 18-19 season
At this point in the off-season for the Harden Era, Tilman was saying the same thing. That was the frustrating part of the whole tear down. They said one thing and did the opposite.
Exactly, when you have your window, you go all in. Take swings you can be milwaukee this year, raptors a few years ago,basically when you're in the contention level anything can happen when thats done with, then you can do what you're doing, save money, you'll still be a hometown hero. But, we got dollar value dolan? Lotta BS, but even without the spending.
The Bucks won the championship Because their coach actually played PJ Tucker as a forward and not a center Looking back , that system and coaching was just for show and had no chance of winning a title no size, no mid range , no bench @J.R.
Lol the Nets owner has way more money than Tilman @Reeko You only get Tilman cause Les sold it to him. let’s say I’m selling my Porsche I can sell it to @Ziggy a 99er or some dude who’s going to blow his student loans it’s up to me to sell to whom ever I want
None of those teams had a chance And Chris Paul still didn’t win a title getting close is losing in a game 7 in the finals that dumb Nba 2k Morey and D’Antoni ball was proven wrong don’t care if they got Pablo Escobar as the owner
Lol, if some dude told you I'm going to be a top 10 net worth owner, I am a billionaire brand with a show and I'm a local and then all I want to do si win. which is what tilman has said to us, to what fault is it that you keep bringing along a guy who aint here which is your obsession? Mean while the ACTUAL CURRENT owner who affects us has lied, cheaped out, but you can only seem to find yourself looking bak ITs interesting to hear you bring up PJ tucker as you've been outspoken on how you think Trevor Ariza makes no difference. In fact you guys have called harden a choker and not a leader to win on. IMAGINE if you were a bucks fans, you guys would be saying Giannis has chokced in the semis in his MVP year, they lost 1-4. The guy still hasn't improved, why would you go all in on him, he already showed he got killdi nt he Semis, why would you think he could win? Tilly save your money! And PJ? talk about 0 points...you mentioned that about ariza, but PJ just got played 36 minutes plus while winning the ring on a 0. You'd be happy with the bucks not making those moves, saying we wouldn't have won anyone, counting mark larsy's savings or pointing to the former owner saying, why did he sell it ot this guy? In either case, you're rooting for an owner or are subservient to an owner not hte team, not its players. You're negative when it comes to the guys who laid it down on the courtt, boot licking when it comes to someone with more power than you. Thats the facts. if you were in MIlkwaukee and had anysay, bucks wouldn't be getting rings in october. Yet you **** on actual rocketes while defending your name sake. Tilman only 99ers are something else brotha, join the Houston Rockets. PLease.Root for us to shoot our shot, even if it cost the owner one year of money and he can make it back later..Unless tinman =tilman, then i understand and you gotta go get yours, but if you're an actual Houston Rockets fan. ...cmon man
