Just wanted to say thank you to the Houston Rockets for the last 36 years for all the fun seasons from the Twin Towers to the Championship years to T-mac & Yao, and to the run-up to the 65 win Harden & CP3 Rockets that got a hamstring away from a ring. Thanks for all the great joy (and heartbreak) Charlie & Les, to GM's Patterson, CD & Morey, to all the coaches from Bill Fitch, Rudy, Jeff, Rick, and MDA and to all the players (except Pippen). It's been a fun ride! Oh yeah - FU Tilman Fertitta
Understand the frustration...Let's wait out until the season starts to pass judgment on Stone + Tillman.
Thank you to all the nights of fun and excitement. When draft night is the only thing we have to look forward to it's going to be sad times! 9th seed to worst in the league is what I'm expecting!
In 36 months this clown has taken what was either the best or the second best team in the league to what will be a lottery bound team once Harden is gone. I can’t remember a more destructive owner who did this much damage to a team in such a short span of time
Robert Sarver is the closest comparison. He walked into a 60+ win team and thoroughly destroyed it all
Tillman Fertitta might sell the Team to Seattle if he gets a huge profit. I dont think the Rockets will exist anymore within 6 years or so. Due to the Virus, Attendance being nonexistent.
Crazy Connection Seattle moves to OKC OKC trades Harden to Hou Former Sonic Westbrook, Harden traded elsewhere Rockets moved to Seattle, name changes to the Sonics Seattle Super Sonics The Rockets never existed, along with Tillman Fertitta. Sell the Toyota Center to Rice Basketball, sell Hakeem statue to Hakeem himself.
Ima boycott and leave nothing but bad reviews on every single one of his over priced “establishments” “Cheap food” “watered down drinks” “ slime in the ice machine!”
He’s going to have to sell it eventually even at a loss. And it probably will be at a loss. He couldn’t afford to buy the team in the first place, he’s driving its value into the ground, and he’s lost an enormous amount of money from his restaurants and casinos during the pandemic. Think he was cheap before he lost all that money? That was nothing compared to what’s coming next. He couldn’t afford the team before and now he really can’t afford it. So he’ll sell it. The only question is how much more damage he’ll do before he does.
Thank you Les and the NBA to selling this franchise to a “billionaire” who’s completely illiquid and has to nickel and dime to stay afloat.
I think so too, but I’ll be happy to be here for the rebuild whenever he’s gone and no longer doing damage.
