The Rockets have possibly the WORST practice facility in the league.

I have the worst case of not caring about their practice facility.

 

It's always those keyboard warriors that like to announce to the mass that they don't care on a thread/topic/video they waste time entering/watch

 

quit making sense, just show him the numbers that the suns, spurs, pistons owners used and told fans to finally support or convince them to support the upgrades despite it costing the owner....

...

Actually the Rockets have the worst case of not caring about their practice facility.

This is the most curious thing abotu the tilman stans. Here he is in 2017 exactly saying that the facilities are a problem, they are under par and not competitive for the nba level let alone there have been advances since then from small market and big market

"
“We do not have a proper training facility with what you need today to be competitive,” Fertitta said. “We only have a one-court practice facility. When there’s a concert or another event going on, they can’t use the other (arena) court. So, you’re down to this one tight court that you can’t even stand next to the wall. It’s bad.



“I’ve already been to other facilities and have seen they have better facilities.""

So here, these guys screamed See hes saying the right thing, you guys are just haters, he wants to invest! You guys are haters, narratives, obsessed.

Then 4 years...as usual, underdelivering and over promising...just crickets while smaller market teams move ahead.

Now they changed to, well it doesnt even matter, practice facilities dont make a difference, even though their jesus has a quote saying it does....awhile also saying I'm sure hell do it with no evidence except that of him lying on record MULTIPLE times, not just a slip up we are giving him a hard time for-i consider that his little rant after 2019 loss a slip up- but its just repetitive ...and one thing for sure, hurts our team compared to the rest of the league par, but one guy saves money...and they are all about that...but the players, coaches, anyone else...throw em to the wolves... Thats why I write long post, to weed out the twitter warrior victim mentality that you find on there...a lotta screaming crying, very little content.


@tinman, yea I know i know...Les was a loan shark and C thomas was an owner. Congrats? 2021. How about our current owner that sets the mandate now and hell just for you, the dude bought white tigers to the middle of downtown then pushed in court for a decade of delays to avoid building them white tigers...oh yea he also cheaped out on the rockets and lied to you publicly...but yea I know, you're very passionate about student loans. Welcome to 2021 rockets kiddo. Love you bud, you do you.

 

i mean he/she should create a thread about how much they don't care. they shouldn't post it in though because that would I dunno

 

Hol up, no one is defending The Rockets training facility or Tilman for not making another one happen.. Some of us just simply see things logically and I can't think of a training facility in THE NBA that held a team back. Its better to have a nice one than a bad one but I highly doubt its impeding any progress for the team.

Tilman acknowledged that The Rockets are behind in this area, we are just coming out of a pandemic so I'm pretty sure that set back any plans for things that just simply aren't that important at the moment. Not sure what you are trying so hard to prove. Just because Tilman mentioned something that Houston is lacking makes him a liar for not building one? Did he set a time table? A release date? Did he say there were plans in place? A lot in development? Anything? I'm sure he would love to get one going but I don't see why it matters to you or me. This has got to be one of the most ridiculous threads I have ever seen, I mean arguing over a training facility for the team you are a fan of. The training FACILITY!!!!! This is an actual topic at the moment, and here you are as usual spilling your "facts" with your long ass posts thinking you are red pilling everyone about Tilman.

Some of us just simply aren't that passionate about training facilities, some of us aren't so passionate about Tilman as you are. You hold on to his every word and Lord forbid he fails you on one of them because here you are ready to pounce every chance you get over nothing.

The team is doing good, we have young players and a bright future. We have some bright people handling things for the team, people Tilman chose and hired. People that someway somehow injected life into this franchise from nothing. We have players we can talk about, pick one... Any of them and we can have threads over them. We have so much potential any position on the team we can talk about. Speculate... Hope for or heck even critique. Yet here you trying convince people of what exactly over a training facility?

Welcome to 2021, Les is no longer in charge so we are seeing the very first rebuild from the ground up in how long? Since we traded for Steve Francis? Perhaps maybe even longer than that... Since we drafted Hakeem....

We finally have an org with the desire to rebuild this neglected team for years and years and years at the hands of Les and the reaction is to $hit on Tilman for a training facility.... Unreal...

 

This is a thread thats been on the practice facility for years, tilman has yet to address it. States u aren't defending tilman, proceeds to defend him, using the pandemic as an excuse for the delay. I hate people who says something but never delivers. Might as well shut your mouth so people don't hold u accountable to it. Hell if he never said anything about doing whatever it takes to win it all or acknowledging that we are behind in practice facility area, people won't hold him accountable.

 

So I'm defending Tilman because I used logic in order to speculate as to why this possibly has not been addressed? Maybe Rockets don't need a new training facility? Maybe they can train in the current one? Did that ever cross your mind?

 

lol

 

This whole thread is dumb. Crazy how it started with one guy researching all the facilities in the NBA. I mean who does that? Lol. What a ridiculous waste of time lol

 

LOL when googling and posting an image is considered time consuming research

 

First off, I got a little emotional, this post is long, you know me, you know what i like 5 stars.
but for the conent, cmon

you are jumping through loop hole s to defend this. you dont ask this many questions of why a player or coach didn't do better, the reach for context is just a long shot as well as the justification for a guy who went verbal on not one thing, but several and has shown a pattern to lie and deflect. and honestly, that would help his cause bro. he wouldn't get the hate which is 90 percent of basketball community outside a handful if he didn't add that element. AS mentioned The nuggets owner son took over the team, he made mistakes. he publicly came out to his fanbase and said while he was new learning, he made decisions he wish he did better, he owned them and is committed to bringing a winner. he delivered. a little humility goes a lot of way , be it the boss or the employee. you think in your own job, if someon lies deflects ,or owns up when they dont get a job done what type of reaction will you get. he just doesnt help him himself, you still can't explain why the dude called up espn and lied aobut MDA's intentions and contract...mda who cares right? Well mda's agent is one of the most connectted guys in th league, owns the summer league, relationships right to the top, and it just hurts our rep and he mentioned its the first time he had togoto press to clarify the owner lied and misrepresented the offer.

its just not for the league. this is a luxury business, and its about the league standard. we're falling behind, the guy himself said it 4 years ao and i hope he does do it, but thats where pressure/acountability from a fan base who pays money while he raises it on us on a publicly funded TC and then we say, its ok man take our money and save yours? This is definitley the only one i've seen

A rebuild is a good thing? we obbviously needed it, but do you consider thet spurs a failed franchise bc they havent 'rebuilt'? and just had sustained greatness..what weird barometer man cmon, i love this young team too. Ive posted about it several times, check it out I have good things to say about stone, great things about our young players...it doesnt change that tilman has hindered rather than help rockets progress,lied to it, and is probably one o the less than handful of owners in this league who has that repuatation he does. it ain't bc hes rich, white, texan, or whatever else you twitter victims want to come up with...all the owners are, somehow this dude getting more his way, wonder why?

You really think we're passionate about training faciltiies? developmental coaches? things we never see, no we are discussing this is a direct competitive business, both on the court and how that on court product is accelerated and when we are the only team as tilman said the worst in the league in our facilities and that it matters, maybe then it matters. from his mouth, from a bunch of other really successful cut throat businessman decisions to build facilities. rockets are falling behind, we have a great history city and franchise, and you're rooting for the only beneficiary which is an owner who hasn't come through yet rather than our team which i can't imagine happening about spurs fans screaming a new facilitiy, this ain't worth you're money holts/dell...go get yourself anotther jet, why wasste it on us?! but the internet has all things.

I hope youre right and you have some personal info we dont. like i said, just ****ing deliver. this was 2017 and hes lied about tax, lied about contracts, just a pattern of not taking responsibility and deflecting, i don't know where you came from, but in texas I grew up not taking that if dude is lying to your face.

but to say that developmental facilities and depth that even he said...3 years BEFORE the pandemic, while other teams are moving forward during thet pandemic, for a rebuilding team that you said you wanted and then to scoff on development? You realize they work on their games daily, rockets re the only ones with one court. other tams hve more developmental coaches, support staff, harden himself and kd and wb talked about how in okc theyd goto the facilities get individual workouts with coaches then compete...its culture, thats what these teams are doing, thats why startups make 'campuses' they aren't dumb, they keep development in house and encourage an environment where everyone doesnt have to think, just come in put more work in...only here do you have a limitted schedule and availability of that. cmon man, the whole league has done it...why root or whats good for landrys, unless you are apart of the organization then i get it...it makees sense, but for the rockets basketball club? its difficult to make sense

 

if youre going to worship and die on this hill, then contradict him while defending him, not sure where you go with this. my answer to the above statement

""
“We do not have a proper training facility with what you need today to be competitive,” Fertitta said. “We only have a one-court practice facility. When there’s a concert or another event going on, they can’t use the other (arena) court. So, you’re down to this one tight court that you can’t even stand next to the wall. It’s bad.



“I’ve already been to other facilities and have seen they have better facilities."""

November, 2017.


Like i said, ill applaud when he gets it done right, but he has a pattern of lying, overselling bullshit to anyone dumb enough to still belive him. if you are family or an employee...then i get it, loyalties personal, that honestly makes more sense. but if you're about the rockets, youre math ain't adding up.

 

When Tilman said that he had a head full of dreams and a veteran team that spent time at clubs. It was true but not a pressing issue. The last few years have been hard on most but worst to others. His statements are still true but now he has the youngest team in the league and his businesses are down because of the pandemic. I’m sure he could just rent a strip center and put some courts and offices in if he needs to. The problem hopefully goes away quickly. The “Bingo hall Rockets” but with paint snd marketing we have a new training center and headquarters.

 

Literally cant see how Bucks training facility made them a champion and the Rox training facility made them the worst team in the league.

Maybe you can check @DatRocketFan since you seem to nbe the training facility expert.

 

More random thoughts if he add a restaurant to the new bingo hall / headquarters I would eat there (most of us would). So now he can hedge his assets to afford make it happen. We get a new way of being informed and support the team.

 

Clueless comment trying to compare the champions to a rebuilding team to prove your anti practice facility argument. Its accumulation of things. Aside from the obvious size of the place, they have an owner that actually went all in on their star, and they weren't rebuilding.

What dummy thinks if we invest in building a practice facility we magically become like the bucks.
U have to invest in long term plans (rebuild) and u can reap the benefits later, that applies too so much sht. Hence y its also important that we slowly rebuild and keep tanking.

I gave u an example of leicester city of how a brand new owner brought and invested into the team. He didn't magically transform it but he did what he says he was gonna do and look at them now.

Honestly look up leiscester city if you can get your head out of tilman's ass.

 

It's like I asked tilman defenders b4. If he doesn't go all in on Harden, if he doesn't invest on practice facilities why the fk even brag/talk about it.

Like aside from not being a man of his words if he doesn't do it now when is he gonna do it? Like what is the appropriate time for posters to point this out, since apparently there's alway excuses for the man. (Pandemic, tanking, bs excuses)
