    It means keep this thread plastered at the top of Clutchfans in case he logs on.

    BTW: Is anyone down to make some donations to @Clutch to get our front page changed to something insulting Tilman. A basic "Sell the Team" with his face on the front page would make me extremely happy. It is how Houston Rocket fans feel, and he should get the message loud and clear.

    I went to that game. I stood outside the parking garage hoping to meet some players. I remember when those dudes got in their car and followed him. Went on CF the next day and couldnt believe it.

    He knows he's getting **** around the league. His head coach, GM (most iconic GM linked to his team for 15 years) quit, now both stars quitting while reports of his cheap behavior and cutting payroll are becoming public. He's trying to make. acase

    he lives in an echo chamber.

    But that's like a fat guy who doesn't work out posting a pic of a really ripped guy. "See what happens in a gym???"

    I just looked at his Twitter feed for the first time. It's like that movie where you watch a video and then die. It's a hot mess of self-indulgency.

    nobody said he was smart. This dude used mob ties etc and shitty restaurants cutting corners to amass his wealth. Outside of that, any other avenue he would fallen flat. Kudos to him, like trump he lies and fools people

    It's terrible optics but I'm pretty sure his point he was trying to make is that the reason he hasn't gone in to the tax previously isn't because he's trying to cheap out on paying a couple extra million for potential roster moves around the edges to help a contender, but he's been trying to avoid getting into a situation where he has a tax bill like that, which is probably along the lines of 75% of the owners (and for sure would have been Les). I'm probably like one of 5 people who read this forum who give him some benefit of the doubt on that. If Morey had the edict that he could go into the tax, but not deep into the tax unless it would put us over the hump and not pay the repeater, all of the around the edges cost cutting personnel moves we made prior this year generally would support that.

    Everyone's main issue here is with cutting costs, but my biggest issue so far under his tenure with respect to player personnel moves by far was the Russ trade where we ironically took on a lot more money.

    The Ariza trade looks like just straight up cutting costs though, unless we really do use the full MLE (we'll see).

    We gave away a really good young player in DeAnthony Melton to save cash.

    Warrior fans hated and booed their owner Lacob, at one point too, when he was new and dumped fan favorite Monta Ellis outta town



    Never forget

    I think representing how we all feel would be pretty freaking legit!

    Did Lacob ever do this when he got championship level players like we have had? Did he ever get rid of assets to make a buck during their championship runs?

    Never forget deez nuts.

    I love how Tillman thought he was only tweeting to people he knows.

    Deleting the tweet afterwards is the funniest part.

    Like ah **** I'm self-aware but not enough to keep composure during the most critical time of the Rockets franchise.
