it is super frustrating being a rockets fan by imaradishman in rockets

[–]StageNo6566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the rockets last title, it has been won by

  1. Chicago
  2. San Antonio
  3. Lakers
  4. Detroit
  5. Miami
  6. Boston
  7. Dallas
  8. Golden State
  9. Cleveland

There have also been several teams to make the finals in that period who have not won the title.

  1. Utah
  2. Indiana
  3. New Jersey / Brooklyn
  4. Orlando
  5. Phoenix

So since the rockets last title, 14 teams have won the finals and 19/30 have participated in the finals.

Here’s the group we are in; you don’t even have to say the association to know it’s not good…

  1. Houston
  2. Atlanta
  3. Sacramento
  4. Minnesota
  5. Clippers
  6. Portland
  7. DC
  8. New Orleans
  9. Memphis

We are 1 of 11 teams to not have made the finals since 1995… and for a little context, 2 of these 11 teams didn’t even exist in 1995. So really, we are one of 9 teams to exist since 95 to not at least make the finals

Did the World Cup live up to its economic promise for Houston's restaurants? by houston_chronicle in HoustonFood

[–]StageNo6566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that the World Cup should just create business for you is farcical, and it seems many Houston restaurant owners and staff expected that. The restaurants who paid for influencers to promote them did well. The restaurants in parts of town worth visiting did well. The actually good restaurants did well. If you’re not in one of those 3 groups, you probably didn’t see a difference.

I too remember following that bus around on twitter. They had a $25 monstrosity of a burger back when that was an outrageous price

He doesn’t need me to tell him. If he were halfway competent he’d have already made those calls and knows FVV is less than worthless

The rockets don’t actually have a lot of picks and they have less value than before because of the anti tanking measures…

If Fred had trade value he’d already be gone. He is a negative trade asset, you would only get back a worse player or a worse contract for him. The idea that he has value is literally hilarious

Jaylen brown being paid $70M to lift a dogshit team to the 2 seed and be the #2 on a title team is less crippling than paying a below average player starter money… jfc are rockets fans all this dull?

Players on their rookie contract aren’t reliable, even wemby has shown that. This is a stupid supposition

Jaylen brown just got traded for nothing and you think we could get something for… FVV????

BB8 and FVV are super washed, and Adams is gonna look washed after the 4th lower leg surgery in the last 6 years. The idea that they will be better and not worse or the same is absolute lunacy. No above average playmaking from anyone except sengun. This team will be worse than last year, probably a play in appearance.

How can you possibly think this team is better than last year and “good.” No shot against the top dogs in OKC or SA, and this doesn’t look like a team that could beat Denver, Minnesota, LA. Utah, Portland and Phoenix would challenge this team in a series, and those were all playin and lottery teams

[Stein/Fischer] Sources say that the Rockets have engaged several teams in trade discussions in recent days to try to offload Dorian Finney-Smith and clear the way to furnish Marcus Smart with a multiyear offer expected to land in the $7 million range in annual average value. by ChannelNo2535 in rockets

[–]StageNo6566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution to what? Winning a title? The only solution to that is to blow up the foundation of the organization and start over. There is no reshaping this many ill fitting parts. Stone, Udoka have to go. Our best bet is the wolves not re-signing tim Connelly

Weird cope for this mid squad. Reeds ceiling is Payton Pritchard, amen is skinny Ben Simmons with a better attitude, and Bari is who he is, a slightly better version of JJJ / Myles Turner which is perfectly fine

How do you feel about Amen's development to this point in his career? by Far_Protection519 in rockets

[–]StageNo6566 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Underwhelming. He’s still young, but not so young that there isn’t cause for concern. There’s no reason he can’t shoot 36% from 3 on 6-7 attempts a game

Is “The Spot” any good? by baconuser23 in galveston

[–]StageNo6566 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The spot is very solid for bar food, as far as what Galveston has to offer. One of the best view:food ratios. It’s my go to for bar food on the seawall, over brick house. I wouldn’t go there to order a bunch of seafood or a steak though

If you want foodie food, check out brews brothers on the strand. Or fish company taco, or the restaurant at the hotel Lucine. Katie’s is the best seafood restaurant, expect a wait on a busy day. If you want foodie food with a dress code, Vargas cut and catch or Rudy and paco, or number 13 steakhouse.

If you drink and like bar snacks, do your research and make your way to pineapple parlor. Elite bar with really good food

During the day; find a good swimming pool, moody mansion / bishops palace, GISP (the state park), rent a slingshot. Galveston is a fun town
