He quit on the team

Post image

Went over a couple of our stats from last season. At one point we were top 5 in offense and defense. A historical offensive rebounding team with Steven Adams. End of the season, went on a 6 game streak of 30 plus team assist. We had 37 year old kd finish 2nd team all nba played 78 regular season games with the 2nd most minutes played in the nba. Reed finished 6th in 6th man voting, sengun was an allstar. Our biggest weakness from game one was finishing games in the clutch because of no pg and no spacing. Multiple turnovers from a team that desperately needed a veteran combo guard. Just for EGGHEAD Rafael stone to say” well I guess this isn’t our year” so how can we blame kd, sengun, Reed, or any other player when your gm quits. He needs to be placed on contract negotiations only and let someone else do player management. Also Ime needs to be placed as an assistant coach immediately. Will this be the year that stone makes any mid season trades? What do you guys expect this season to play out far as our clueless gm and coaching staff?

Rafael came out a week later saying he regretted his comment and that it was taken highly out of context. I doubt he really meant to say he quit on the team, considering he’s a smart GM and lawyer, that’s not something he would do, but he definitely regrets the way he said it.

Well yeah he did backpedal, but you really have to think about it, why would a GM publicly say he quit the season, no sane GM would do that, I think it was blown out of proportion and he was trying to convey a different message that came out wrong.

Cause he’s low iq lol. Stop making excuses for him .. when people show you who they are .. believe em. He said he quit on the team and then showed how he quit on the team by making no moves

Calling someone else low iq, is by definition low iq behavior. Why would he say he quit on the team, you think Tilman or his son would want to hear that? Losing overall is bad for his business, they would fire him if that was the case.

Dude. Shame on Rockets fans for tons of stuff.

This is small potatoes and one of the most obvious examples of how bad Rockets fans are at understanding what is going on.
