    Sure rotten apples exist, again try not to generalize and put all critical fans in one box.

    That is precisely what would cause a rift.

    Go from case to case and evaluate one individual at a time. My 2 Cents.

    A lot of this stems from the fact that the Rox were rarely true contenders and the title window is really small.

    They were on the cusp but something was always missing or injuries happen.

    This year if nothing bad happens, it's looking brighter than ever.

    To think this thread divides the forum is to willfully ignore reality... Just because you don't say it doesn't mean it isn't so.

    Not only did I not generalize... I was pretty damn specific.

    Then name those dudes by their moniker.

    If being specific means, I still dunno who you were talking about, maybe this is one of the only ways.

    That is funny. I was the one encouraging him making the list.

    Also I asked him and not you.

    He wasn't talking about doubters but pretenders who pretended they rooted for the Rox winning.

    Said on numerous occasions the Rox have what it takes to make it to the Finals.

    Holic isn't fake, he is just a troll, doing it on purpose.

    Swapshop and Tomstro are minor doubters but there are way worse. I am offended.

    Don’t be offended. The guy is clearly stupid. I laugh it off.

    Yep, I would not give my hard earned money to Clutch just to post here to gloat over Rockets losing it all.

    I am not rich.

    I mean it's basic comprehension.... Did l make a blanket general statement or did I describe something specifically?

    Let's just leave it at that, whoever feels addressed, might respond.

    It was not in my intention, to take these things too far.

    It just did not feel a positive thread.

    I did want Zhou in the rotation, yes. And I wanted to see him get run with the starters.

    Why?

    1. Because we lacked the combination of length and shooting at the 4/5 spots just like we do now.

    2. He was on the roster!!!! (Should I recommend playing a guy that's not even on the roster foo?)

    3. We drafted him and signed him to a 4- year deal. He needed to be processed. And we needed to tap his potential. Especially since we had no one else on the roster besides Hartenstein with that potential and Zhou had been in our system a year already.

    With pleasure. I'm looking for a better image hosting site. . . .

    Note: his feet are not even on the ground.

    1. He's got length but his shooting was terrible and his strength was not up to par.

    2. We had lots of players on the roster, Michael Carter Williams

    3. Yeah we signed him to a deal, we also signed Ty Lawson to a deal and he's gone


    His potential, he didn't reach it so he's out.

    It's like having a job, if you are bad at it, you are gone.

    Ignored is the way to go. So much more peaceful. Can't stand the negativity from all these so called "Rockets fans".
