Rockets Welcome Clippers as the Tough Times Continue
CE-Out. The Spoiling Game. Wall-In.
Houston plays their first game after being officially eliminated from playoff contention tonight. The Rockets has the playoff-bound Los Angeles Clippers, as Houston hopes to play the spoiler role for the remainder of this season.
The big news of the day in Houston was the resignation of CEO Tad Brown, who is deciding to move on from the Rockets. In a matter of three years. The Rockets lost their previous starting five, head coach, general manager, and CEO. If you didn’t know who’s team it was, you know by now: Tilman Fertitta. Houston’s owner continues to burn the team into the ground as he salivates over his profits from Landry’s and his other business ventures. If only he cared more about the team he ludicrously purchased. But, that’s asking a lot from a man who titled his first book, “Shut Up and Listen.”
John Wall will play tonight, as Friday night’s bout with the Clippers is the first in a back-to-back for the Rockets. Houston travels to the Mile High City to take on the Denver Nuggets tomorrow night. Another tough playoff-bound team. Only 13 matchups remain in the season for the Rockets… let the spoiling games begin.
