    Certain Florida posters on Clutchfans have zero love for Houston
    Especially their nba team

    I know you are woke and hate everything conservative but dont let it blind you....

    Les was a trash owner that kept the team mediocre on purpose to make as much money as possible. Then took the two trophies The Rockets won when he inhereted the championship team. Les was interested in China more than he was interested in this city.

    An actual Rockets fan bought the team, decided to put the team first and rebuild at the expense of low attendance and you get upset when he helps out the community. Just wow

    You're the one bringing politics into this.

    My issue with Tilman is how he destroyed one of the best Rockets team in history. You rather have Tilman even if he f'd up the Rockets. I'd rather see the Rockets win. That's the difference between us.

    Let's just hope your hero Tilman stays away from the team and lets Stone do the work much like Les stayed away and let Dawson and Morey do their thing.

    Exactly! There is probably someone in China posting the good things Les did for China.... They must love him over there.

    Les sold the team when we had our best team since Dream
    And all he talked about was Yao’s jersey being retired

    Nobody loves China money more than Les Alexander
    I’m surprised he didn’t make fans swap dollars for yen

    he makes LeBron look like George Washington

    He did not destroy The Rockets. Les inhereted an actual championship team with a real all time great super star. Tilman inhereted a team ran to the ground by Morey, Harden and gimmick MDA.... That team was falling apart all on its own. Tilman did the right thing and pulled the trigger.

    Im glad he did as a Rockets fan, since The Rockets have had two incredible drafts and are building the right way. Thats more than Les ever did in how many years.

    Nobody has hired Mike D’Antoni as a head coach after the Rockets

    Rockets went to Galveston for training camp and then Westside (Jim Mac) for regular season practices.

    Fans of today would riot if the rockets practiced at gallery furniture or Kemah

    Let's not forget how much Tilman stood up for Morey
