    True - but don't be surprised if that is what happens.

    FIFY.

    We live in a world that you have to double check everything you put because everybody it's sensitive now .

    Yes, send them to the glue factory would have been a tad less offensive - but still inappropriate for a representative of the Rockets org.

    Fine for you and I or fans, but not for people managing a brand.

    Still - most seem ok with it.

    I thought the tweet was hilarious, but I understand a company wanting to protect its brand.

    Is it me? Dwight sounds pissed. That can't be right. We just won the series.

    I found it funny as heck too, I am just thinking that it will be trouble from the Rockets point of view, and possibly the league too - maybe the quick apology will work maybe not.

    I promise though someone in the Rocks org is sweating their job right this minute.

    Oh wow, missed the emojis completely the first time. Yeah I'd say it would be good to avoid going that far. The Mavericks tweet is such bs though. They showed no respect before or during this series.

    I remember staying up late to watch Houston v. Boston in 1981 because it was on tape delay and ran after the late news and I was pissed when I missed the Lakers/76ers Magic Plays Center game because it was just not on.

    I agree Cuban showed no class in his "That is not a good team over there" but the Rox have always been above that nonsense.

    Still, maybe just a warning and a lesson would be appropriate.

    It's not about the joke... It's about where that joke was posted. The rockets brand should be held to a higher standard and should avoid these types of incendiary tweets. Simply congratulate the Mavs and move on. Maybe throw in a little jab like "you're ONE trophy is cute". Done. Send.

    I can see that.

    However I don't believe the Mavs are "wishing us well" in the next round.

    Did you miss Blazers last home game against Memphis...

    They were raining party rain because Blazers won one game and avoid getting swept against the Grizz....

    That was championship parade material
