    Too lazy tbh. You can find plenty if you look through threads from yesterday... like when I posted that. Probably a lot more on other platforms too

    If this article is true, Tilman is practically upside down. This franchise won’t win anything if that is the case. I don’t blame Harden for running

    I’ll add to that that while Harden wanted the Westbrook trade he only accepted it as a “silver medal”. Harden wanted to form a super team here (adding Westbrook to him and Paul) but broke Tilman wasn’t going to pay for that.

    I think you're responding to a Russian bot, no way a Rockets fan is that out to lunch right?

    Look what Tilman just retweeted. WTF???

    UPDATE: He deleted the retweet, probably after Patrick pointed out how bad the optics were.

    Apparently without thinking first. Just like his hero, Daddy Don.

    He is astonished that any owner would be crazy enough to pay tax.

    He temporarily showed his hand. He really is the worst professional sports owner in the business (next to Mike Brown of the Bengals). I am cursed following these two all-time cheap teams!!!

    My brother-in-law lives in the Bay Area and has been a Warriors fan since he was a kid. He was distraught over the Klay news this morning, then they sign Oubre and he's feeling a little better.

    Meanwhile, we traded RoCo, drafted #52, and signed a handful of nobodies.

    Honestly I respect this. Tilman is open with his priorities. I can't even hate on this man anymore. This is just objectively hilarious.

    We'll never have a good team again, but the man knows what he wants out of his purchase, so I have to respect that.
