So.....tanking is part of the culture change. You think people in favor of this thought we were going to be competitive immediately after a Harden deal? Of course not. This is a rebuild. Easy on the told you so.
It is a culture change. We went from Championship contenders and a feared team to the Biggest Joke of the NBA! Tillman got what he deserved. Patrick Fertitta needs to be removed from all decisions pertaining the Rockets. The fans are the only ones who did not deserve this.
People like yourself have long painted Harden as a negative influence/impact on the Rockets. It's time to eat up, you get what you deserve.
Dude. I was told this was a playoff team and that Cousins and Wall where part of the much needed culture change. How the hell is tanking part of a culture change when you got people calling out teammates in a presser? So yeah I said it when people were big upping Wall and freakin Cousins as these great leaders and I have no issue with the I told you so. Did you have this same energy when people where saying good riddance to Harden?
But.....this is what was supposed to happen after a Harden deal. It’s a rebuild. It’s a tank job? Get what I deserve?? Don’t be so short sighted. If the Rockets are still irrelevant 5 years from now then come at me with a “get what you deserve”
lol, a lot of the anti-Harden people weren’t expecting a tank job after he was traded...fools thought this was a playoff team and that the culture would be much better without having to cater to a diva now people want to rewrite history like “everyone knew it would be a tank job after Harden left”...nah, many thought otherwise and then were hit with the cold, hard reality
It's been bought up before. Tanking implies losing on purpose. Whether or not that was true last month; it's apparent they're trying to win now but can't. Losing against injury ridden bottom teams. Rockets is not blowing leads, they trail against any team they face (good or bad teams). As this losing streak grow, it's going to get picked by national media chatter soon. Losing quietly vs. being butt of the joke in the league. This is not to hurt current player/coach's feelings, but the competition level difference gap is too wide.
Oh, we are talking about different things. I’m talking about people who saw the writing on the wall for this rebuild years ago and are ready to take some lean years for the future of the organization. Your talking about people who thought this year’s team was going to be competitive. I agree, that’s whack. I am saying tanking is part of a long term culture change.
A 20 game losing streak is supposed to happen after a Harden deal. Really? Gonna have to do a deep dive to see what you were saying after the trade.
The team has lost 20 games in row. That's an embarrassment. And you've been calling for a Harden trade for years, not just after the trade request. So keep desperately holding onto your terrible assessment in the hopes that some years down the line it will shine through. Spolier alert: It won't.
I was enjoying the vibe of the team shortly after the deal. Please don’t pull a “this is fun” post of mine and say that means I thought we were gonna be competitive. I was ready for the change. Yes, the loosing was supposed to happen. That’s what tanking is.
