    It was reported that Eli Witus was responsible for the Scouting Department.

    Rafael just took the glory credits.

    And guess what…if we were to do a re-draft tomorrow, Reed lovers (DD) would still pick him over Castle or Harper.

    Now what Stone did rather well were a few contracts....his field of expertise.

    The bonus and guaranteed parts.

    Now don’t blow your top off. Take a deep breath, I didn’t mean to be weird. Again, I’m sorry for hurting your feelings little fella.

    Spurs winning without Wemby adds insult to the Rockets injured franchise. They just won comfortably on the road while the Rockets are busy losing home games as favorites. Damn near the antithesis of the Spurs.

    SA appears headed for Duncan Era 2.0 while the Rockets go nowhere fast (or slow, doesn't really matter) for the next decade.

    This entire season was disgusting on many levels.

    I bet they are still secretly guided by Gregg Popovich, he is somewhere in the back.

    You got one of the best in business in the last 30-40 years.

    That's true

    I'm actually surprised Tate would foul on that play, even if he shouldnt have been in. But none of it happens if Jabari doesn't F up

    In a rational world, a coach (or GM even) should not keep their job with multiple historic failure like this

    The Rockets are not rational.

    this has happened to the rockets so many times, I feel like we should all go get lottery tickets or something. the most improbable stuff happens to the rockets in the most traumatic ways. lets not forget that there was a fan who won 25k shooting an improbable half court shot.

    I'm really afraid this game ended my fandom of the rockets. this is too much for me. compound that with other teams finding success with less hardships. I dont feel like dealing with it.

    there are people out there that go though life not worrying about sport. I want to be one of those people.

    There are consequences to being this "dumb" in an NBA game.
