I was doubtful for awhile there, but the talent on this team is proof that they earned it. Even if you count Green as a miss.
"Earlier this season" Wait I'm confused... is it bust now being reported or is that a typo? Since they're going to speak to the media makes me think it's a typo.
Stone is fine at this point. When Silas was here it was Stone calling all the shots. With Ime, Stone takes a bit lesser role and is moreso shaping the roster to Ime's vision.
Sorry, but the old Rockets fan in me would LOVE to see Rudy pick up the phone and treat Ainge like an idiot.
It's just being reported now because I'm fairly certain the Rockets were waiting to see how the season ended before releasing the news. Something tells me if they finished with 30-34 wins, with public sentiment being down, they would have swept this news under the rug.
Could you please tell me what makes you so high on Witus? I have no idea what he does but people seem to be happier about him extending that Stone.
At least he’d pick up the phone though. Might be a rotary phone or at best a Nokia from 2001 but he’d at least have a conversation…. And treat Ainge like an idiot with some dignity.
So I can purposefully be awful for 3 years , and then be .500 and get rewarded for a job well done ? Tilman talks a big talk , but that seems Iike a low bar .
lol posts like this crack me up. How can you be a basketball fan and be so out of touch with reality? Yes, this kind of turnaround is exceptional when you look at recent basketball history. It’s absurd to think otherwise.
If the Rockets bring in a President of Basketball Operations to run the front office, it will be promoting Rafael Stone to POBO.
This is emblematic of the delulu CF take that all the good moves can be attributed to Ime and Whitus and all the bad moves can be attributed to Stone. When Stone took this job all they had were Harden who was doing all he can to tank his value, WB who had negative value, a bunch of washed vets, and a looming deadline of losing all their picks and swaps in 3 yrs. In just 3 yrs that team is now transformed to one of the youngest teams in the L filled with promising talent while still reaching 0.500. To say that's all Ime when Ime has only been here for a year and to even think Stone somehow did a poor job is the height of delusion. Yeah I'm sure Ime was sending texts to Stone to draft Sengun and Tari Eason in preparation for his eventual takeover in 2 yrs
your right . We were one of the winningest teams of the last decade and then we traded an mvp level player and purposefully sucked for 3 years … now we are back to .500 after that great job ! as long as we had the plan to suck it’s fine we sucked . We didn’t even make the play in this year .
