    That gargling will quickly turn into pitch forks after realizing the Rockets aren’t sniffing what we saw tonight. It’s why the Rockets need to keep rebuilding and getting lottery balls.

    It's getting to be a bit much at this point lol.

    I mean, every other teams fanbase that isn't here is saying the same exact things. I've seen them. Everyone is jealous of OKC and SAS, it is what it is. I mean I get it in one of the posts in GARM but this thread is more about the Rockets than its about OKC v Spurs

    Like damn, we get it, The Rockets aren't beating OKC or San Antonio, this is literally what every other team in the west is saying right now. Just like with the Warriors dynasty when they got KD, just like Lebron going to Miami. It's obviously on teams to figure out how to build a team to beat OKC but just like the Warriors thing some Rocket fans just want to tank until the next Wemby.

    Like myself, I think reality struck a bitter chord we’ve all been in denial to some degree about


    Another poster said it…it’s unlikely this team will be good again in the next 2-3 decades

    We really are in a DARK Place.
    Atleast when we were tanking we had hope.

    What do we have now? :(

    i do agree rockets need to build through the draft. do not trade for any 30 year old player ever again.

    FVV and internal improvement from the young core. What else could you possibly want? You heard Stone and Udoka. The Rockets will be right there… with Sengun guarding Wemby and Reed on Harper and FVV on Castle….

    This makes so much sense it’s EXACTLY why Stone will do the opposite

    i looked forward to rockets fans having a little self respect. Even that has been taken away from me. I have never seen it this bad. ill be rooting against the spurs and every player this fanbase wishes they could have had.

    Well if you trade for a 30 year old (especially a lottery pick for one), you sure as hell better be 100% sure you can compete with anyone- and the Rockets didn’t do that.

    Let’s hope one of the Suns picks turns into the first pick and the Rockets get to draft some Robert Swift/Patrick Ewing hybrid discovered on the streets of Brazil that can compete with the French Martian.

    Bruh at this point we might as well start an OnlyFans and stroll the Bissonett streets.

    Our self respect & national respect was lost in the 1st round. :(

    LOL @J.R. there are some big **** lizards walking the Bissonett sidewalks that could body Wemby in the post. It was 25 year ago but I saw some Shaq and Barkley looking girls in 8 inch heels running faster than Vernon Maxwell going into the stands.

    Biggest issue with KD trade I have is he raises the floor of the team and so it makes it harder to naturally build the team since he's not going to be here when most of these guys are in their prime.

    With no KD, it would have been better to see if the team could have repeated their last season success and go from there or if they all fail and fall back down to earth, ah well, you play the lottery game again.

    We tried to rush the timeline or rather force our way into being a contender and its clear this team wasn't ready for those expectations.

    Do you think SGA would not want to be 7'4 as well....it is a cheat code.

    I agree, the Spurs just keep drafting defenders around Wemby.....they are the team winning everything this year or the next years.
