    Rockets are winning tonight.

    They are not tanking.

    Quit dreaming of a tank. That's not the plan.

    If they lose enough in the next two months to be projected to be a top 4 pick, it was not by design.

    We've already seen what Fertitta has done, its not good. Rafael hasnt made moves that have been that great tbh. He's done an okay job. Good job finding Mason Jones. That's it. Woods and Tate are going to get paid in 3 years and we arent going to sign them. If Peanut head was smart we would tank right now.

    Good for the current seed. This team will be a playoff team with flexibility at the deadline by March 25. This team will be over .500 by March 1, 2021.

    I don't care about your crying about a tank or your nonsense about who cares about losing a top 10 pick to the Thunder.

    You've been crying about everything since I was mad at Morey for leaving. Everything is negative for you, it's a terrible look. Enjoy basketball or turn it off. I'm not sharing a prediction on what the team is doing. I'm telling you what they are doing. This is season #2 until March 25, 2021. The team is going to give it their all to win enough games to have a playoff seed. You can all dream about a tank. That's not the plan.

    That't not right way.This team is going nowhere if they go for the playoffs. That is a first round exit? What is the point? Do you know how silly it is to resign Oladipo? It makes no sense. They should trade him. We should not be over .500

    Why are you getting so combative? There is no reason to care about losing it when the reward is much greater.

    What? Im not being negative by advocating for a tank. I want to win a title. What you are advocating for is spinning the wheels. I enjoy basketball. But I can watch other teams for that. i want the Rockets to win long term. Man...you got way to upset here for no reason.

    Because you post every five seconds. I'm not telling you my opinion. I'm telling you what the team is doing. Your dreams of tanking aren't happening.

    You want a top 10 pick?

    Wall was picked #1
    Oladipo was picked #2
    McLemore was picked #7
    Cousins was picked #5
    Eric Gordon was picked #7

    You are acting like this team can magically get Anthony Davis by tanking. None of this is guaranteed.

    Giannis was picked #15
    Kawhi was picked #15
    Jimmy Butler #30
    Bam Adebayo #14
    Devin Booker #13
    Michael Porter Jr #14
    Tyler Herro #13


    QUIT ACTING LIKE THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO GET A GREAT PLAYER.

    Nikola Jokic who I think is a better player in 2021 than James Harden was picked in the second round. There isn't a blue print for guaranteed success. Enjoy a team that is going to compete and stay flexible.

    Seriously, what do you think you're adding to this fan forum by just chanting, "We should lose. We should lose?" It's one thing to do that in a thread where it’s topic appropriate. It's another thing to basically say "we should lose" in a game thread and then act flabbergasted when people call you out.

    The only thing mediocre is your grammar. And that's being charitable.

    Oh okay you're being an ******* now. I see.

    Dude.........Im not even going to address this sentence.


    Porter Jr was picked at number 14th because of injury issues, Herro is also not a superstar. Would you like me to show you the laundry list of players who have been picked as a number 1? You hoping we'll just find diamonds in the rough is completely nonsensical. Those guys are the exception among exceptions not the rule.

    Tanking is the best way. Its the most logical way. The fact that you think we'll find some great 15th pick is not looking at the totality and is being naive.

    You compete into nowhere. Compete for what? They are competing for nothing. My god...some blind delusion.
