    If Rockets had a proper facility instead of a High School gym Chris Paul wouldn't have pulled his hammy and we would have won back to back championships.

    It's about investing into the fking future. Like do I have to bold the my messages for u to understand?

    Plus u r da one that compared the bucks to us, making it seem to others that my stance is that we need to invest in a newer practice facility to become instant champions which is not my point whatsoever.

    Like ask yourself this if the owner himself notes that the practice facility is outdated, what is preventing him from actually fixing the problem to better our team?
    Like why r u personally making excuses for an issue tilman himself point out to us?

    I just posed what small market championship teams was able to afford. I would think the Rockets has more money or and has similar goals

    its obvious Bucks and Raptors paid money to consult with experts

    are you saying Tilman paid money to experts and they said "that sinlge court setup you have is perfect!"

    Yeah it is. That takes time. If you’re willing to do it and spend so much time on such a ridiculous topic then great for you. I choose not too.

    The floor of the court in the training gym is made out of used French Open clay.

    Lol, don't worry. some of these dudes had the time to get on post and start demanding where we have a specific financial statement or analyasis that this investment will lead to wins...they didn't care that the rest of the league is doing it, that we're competing against them for talent, staff, to keep talent staff.

    and now that their dear leader literally said 4 years ago, way before the pandemic(which is more reasonable excuse) saying that we were under par, not competitive, and it is a disadvantage then they went to oh you spent a lot of time clicking buttons which is literally all that we f'n do here and some amazing posters taking time to drop knowledge in other post shouldn't ?

    its lke tilman, they keep a moving goal post, but in the end their agenda is the perspective of the owner...rarely do you see bucks fans, clippers, nets, spurs, suns fans crying that their upgrades are not financially viable for a billionaire

    they won't answer this

    "
    “We do not have a proper training facility with what you need today to be competitive,” Fertitta said. “We only have a one-court practice facility. When there’s a concert or another event going on, they can’t use the other (arena) court. So, you’re down to this one tight court that you can’t even stand next to the wall. It’s bad.



    “I’ve already been to other facilities and have seen they have better facilities.""

    Come on Tilman make a restaurant / training center and let the public watch some of the players practicing as we choke down an overpriced, not so great hamburger & the “Thriller” chicken tenders.

    you could even put some replica championship trophies for all to see.

    lol, you make it too easy. You're right on criticism abotu les on china

    but where is yours for tilman?
    Tilman doesnt care about luxuy suites only? He raised prices on majority of the arena...while he cheaped out
    And tilman ain't gonna sell lower bowl seats to companies out of honor? the dude who wouldnt build an outdoor space for white tigers he parked in the middle of downtown? The guy who just plastered credit karma now on our jerseys?

    I love you tinny, but you make your bias too easy sometimes. You're special though, don't ever forget that. 99er fo life

    if you say so, I know you're time is special but you were on this board multiple times reading and demanding people show you proof of financials or that the practice facility will be better or guaratnee your wins despite hte rest of the league, big and small market doing it.

    Then, I posted the actual owner you're defending his investment or lack there of saying 4 years ago, well before the pandemic saying that our practice facilitise are inconvenient, a disadvantage, non competitive for this league and have a heavy need to gain....

    and then all of a sudden you just said its a waste of time

    Didn’t Tilman promise to build a new practice facility when he bought the team?
