    I miss Hakeem Olajuwon.

    Robert Horry, Sam Cassell, Mario Elie, Otis Thorpe, Clyde Drexler, Matt Bullard, Rudy Tomjanovich

    Really the whole 1994, 1995 Houston Rockets.

    I don’t like 1-10 scales...but on a scale of VSpan-to-Gene Peterson

    I’d put Paul at “Llull’s draft Rights”

    Negative 3. He was alright early in the season, but when it was time to really show up he never did. We need clutch moment players for Clutch City!

    I miss the 2018 team, and Chris Paul was a big part of that. However, they did run it back and give it another chance the next year, and the magic was gone. I am not sure things would have been that much better had he stayed another year or two. I still don't think we beat the Lakers last year, even with CP3. I think all this drama would still be happening regardless, and CP3 is still 36 years old with a monster contract. Long term, getting out from his contract was probably the right thing to do, but obviously trading him for Westbrook was not.

    The present is the only thing that concerns me. I enjoyed his time here. He's gone. Be Here Now.

    I think it's obvious who the fake Rocket fans are.

    Dude was one of them largest reasons for our most successful season since 1995 and put his heart and sole into that season trying to get us that ring and led the right way instilling discipline and structure to the team. He was a better coach than Dantoni.

    I tried to lie to myself last night and think no big deal, just trade him for the most you can possibly get and move on. Then 30 minutes after the news dropped about "hold out" I had to go for a drive to clear my mind. That didn't work. At all.

    Based on my own experience, I think the GARM spiraling out of control is a little warranted. We would miss our beloved Harden if he jumped ship. Any true fan wants James to win a championship in Houston before he retires. Trading him now breaks that collective dream of ours.

    However, Rockets come first for Rockets fans and we could parlay this news into a great trade if it's all true. So staying level headed also seems the right thing to do. In other words, there's a range of emotion that are acceptable, but clearly some of the bull ish finds it's way beyond the range of acceptability.

    also being a rox fan isn't what it used to be with this owner.

    Only thing I miss was the healthy hamstring when the Rockets should have won the Chip.

    Minus 100

    I hated Felecia before he played here , I tolerated Felecia when he played here .... I'm content with hating Felecia again.
