    Very very insulting to Patrick. It’s all about Tilman and nothing about Patrick.

    Do you work for the front office? I'm sorry man, I hope they add your name to the list soon. Will that make you feel better? I'm sure not even Stone himself cares...

    We know some of the personnel but the casual fans who are interested do not.

    "If There's been personnel change and will probably continue to change. Who really knows why its like that now and when he adds other people to it"

    this is the exact page to put it so people can know the hierarchy of the business and who does what.

    Like honestly this is a first for me usually any school/company/business list front office or upper management. Its like a short paragraph and a pic, not a whole fking life story one page long about one person.

    Modesty. It may not mean much to u, but don't assume people r complaining about it due to politics.

    Only dude in the whole league that does this, maybe he's just new.

    Like no ones gonna make any comment if he has a page long on the gm, president and coach also. Maybe formatting. But to me a page long praising himself, kinda weird.

    Apparently there's grammar errors on it too according to some readers on reddit, i didn't read the whole thing, but if that's true quite unprofessional.

    Aside from the obvious, even stylistically it's horrible, poorly chosen layout, font and photo sizes, colors, everything looks like someone's first stab at this. Compare it to not just the content, but the how the example teams linked above just look. Professional versus amateurish.

    Does it really matter? I understand wanting to see the credits on a movie or show to research what else these people have worked on and find more of their work.... If there was a list this thread wouldn't exist and you probably wouldn't have spent 3 seconds looking at the front office personnel anyways.

    Does anyone really care and why? I'm not talking about caring who the GM is, I'm talking about really knowing every single front office personnel. Who here knew the personnel from before Tillman was owner? Doubt anyone can name the 2016-2017 personnel without looking it up...

    I really don't understand your slant here bro. Like really it makes no sense. It's simple as hell. This is the official place to list the front office personnel of each team. All other 29 teams did it no problem. This is just so irrevocably stupid I dont understand why you're trying to argue. The page calls for a list not a propaganda page. If I ordered pancakes and you gave me bacon and eggs it'd still be a good breakfast but it's not freaking pancakes. Even Dolan could do it right.

    It's like having this conversation
    Me: Who's in the Houston Rockets Front Office?
    Page: The owner is Tilman Fertitta.

    Me: Cool, Who else?

    Page: Tilman J. Fertitta, a Houston native, is an accomplished businessman and recognized as a world leader in the dining, hospitality, entertainment and gaming industries and is often referred to as “the world’s richest restaurateur.”

    Me: Ugggh what about the CEO?

    Page: Fertitta the sole owner of Fertitta Entertainment which owns the restaurant giant Landry’s, the Golden Nugget Casinos and Hotels and the NBA’s Houston Rockets.

    Btw that last one isn't even a full sentence!

    Embarrassing.

    And u would use this page to look it up.
    The point is there is a time and place to plaster yourself. If he wanted to tell us his life story, an owner profile section will suffice.

    Just saying modesty and professionalism goes a long way in business.

    The rocket does provide a nice media guide about the front office all the way at the bottom.

    Casual fans will get turn off reading that monstrosity of an autobiography.

    Three pictures. No captions on who is who on the last pic. Formatting kinda disgusting.


    Oh wait media guide is from 2017-2018, jeezus how unprofessional. Still has a pic of cp3 and Harden in it

    Just saying front office page is unprofessional.
    A page long about the life story of the owner and if u wanted to learn more
    Having a media guide of 2017-18 instead of this year is kinda stupid.

    But keep believing we are out attacking the man cause of his politics. I swear, u criticize someone and u have these weird ass defenders defending God knows what.

    I actually never said that, I said leftist like to blame one man for everything. Not that leftist attack Tillman for his political stance. I'm not even trying to make it political but it is easy to tell who is who on this site. People who get triggered over the smallest things tend to lean to a certain political party.

    I don't really criticize, I disagree and share my opinion. I still respect other's opinion even if I find it silly to care so much about front office directories. I never said OP is stupid or dumb or his opinion is dumb... I've expressed that its not that important, that it really does not matter and stop hating on the man just because of a website that has a small bio on the owner for a front office section. Maybe Tillman himself ordered it or maybe the web designer is working on that section. How long has it been like that? Was it like that last year? Does it, matter? No, as long as we can all have a hate Tillman thread..

    U keep inferring that the criticism of tilman poorly formatted page front office is based on political stance and not actual criticism.

    First off its not a small bio, its a page long with three pictures. Grammar mistakes is riddled in there, one picture has many people but no caption so a causal can't even follow along

    Plus the media guide that talks about further front office info is fkin 3 years old.

    These are valid criticism. U r just making it sound like this is a thread where we are just hating on tilman cause he's has a different political standing.

    He's certainly gonna attract the best and the brightest to work for him with that approach. Glad we have an owner who doesn't let his ego get in the way of doing the classy thing. "Stay classy Houston"

    I don't give a rat's ass about Tilman's political opinions. He's entitled to support who he wants to support. In fact, I've constantly been saying that I don't think Harden or anyone else's problems with Tilman are based on politics. Just answer one simple question. Does this page accurately depict the Houston Rockets Front Office? You can go on and on about it not being a big deal but it really isn't a challenge or whatever to make this page what it's supposed to be and they messed that up. Everyone else did it why couldn't we? Also why would anyone other than Tilman knowingly turn the front office page into a Tilman handjob section? Come on man don't be so obtuse.

    Dude are you serious? That’s an extremely bloated bio. It’s embarrassing and egotistical. Should be edited to be much shorter. Anyone who reads that will think “insecure douchebag”

    You just made it political. Whether you intended to or not, the first four sentences are a paragraph of contradiction, if being non-political was your intent. I couldn't care less how you lean politically, but this isn't the BBS forum in which to post political content. That would be D&D, according to Clutch. Just an FYI.

    Other than the coach, players and GM has something changed from 3 years ago? Exactly, its just 3 pictures and a quick bio thrown together and not even spell checked. 3 nice pictures at that. Tillman happy, Tillman happy holding Rockets Jersey and Tillman happy with his family...

    What I think you are trying to argue is that The Rockets website should reflect the professionalism of the team and compared to the rest of the league this section is lackluster at best. The Owner should not be in the front office section since he is not part of the Front Office. The website should list the front office personnel because any company or corporation that wants to distinguish itself as professional and serious will list the people that makes everything work behind the scenes. It is not a matter of opinion but a matter of professionalism and a business standard around the globe.
