Predictions Update: 11-22-99

[Surfguy]

I am impressed by A.E.NeumanWorryWart's predictions. He is right on the money so far. If only we can get past Dallas and Vancouver with wins, he will be THE MAN! Clutch will have to hire him to be the site's new Rockets forecaster. We shall call him "Mini-Clutch"...haha.

"Mini Clutch", oh shucks http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/wink.gif

For the record, I would have rather had the Rockets win them all and not be this correct http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/frown.gif

I originally stated with my predictions that the upcoming Dallas game would turn into a must win game. I am not all that confident that the Rocks can actually beat the Mavs now http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/frown.gif What has the world come to!

I am with you on that, No Worries. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/wink.gif

Look on the bright side, No Worries.

If we win them, you'll be happy because we won. If we lose, you'll be happy because you were right. No lose situation. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/smile.gif

My predictions are not winning... I say we fire Rudy, crucify Bryce Drew, ask Calvin Murphy to come out of retirement, trade Mobley for Isiah Rider, a 12th round pick, and Michael Finley (yes, they're on 2 different teams and we're only giving up one player, but if these goons can figure out the salary cap, they can figure that out, too... what? whaddya mean no 12th round? Ok... then 6 2nd round picks! pfft!).

What does everyone else think? http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/smile.gif

Trade Barkley, spare the feelings, and get what we deserve: a better team player.

Fire Rudy, and hire either Calvin Murphy, John Thompson (if he changes his retirement soon), or make Clyde Drexler coach. Clyde wouldn't turn it down, I'm positive.

Who to get for Barkley? Not sure. Any good power forwards worthy of the defense and simple rebounding with garbage detail expertise? Is Barkley trade worthy for a good player I hope for?

Well now that the Rockets are well on our way to destroying my family life as I know it, and making me do illegal things with ... well that's another story ... here's the update.

Looks like Cabbage, Sleepy, NoWorries and Axeman are the odds on favorites to make the all "Bugsy-Segal-LasVegas-SportsBook" team. Now if they win only one more, not three,just one. LOL

Thanks to AirFrancis for his input.

[popeye]

Sorry. Clyde would turn it down.

According to him, he needs about two more seasons (Houston Coug-s) under his belt, then he will consider a pro job if one comes along that "makes me feel right about everything".

Asked about the Rocket job: ";.... depends on the circumstances in two years."

[Francis3]

Who would even want barkley. Unless they think that they need him and they think they could win it this year.

[Cohen]

Call me an optimist, but I am expecting a break-out game soon, in the next 3 or 4. I predict we win one by about 22 (nice round number)... because our boys maintain will their intensity for 4 quarters (and don't think so much about their shots going down the stretch...they just shoot the d*mn ball like they've done since they were wee lads).

After that, we'll still have some down games, but should start winning our share.

My Zionist Friend Called Leonard:

Your fresh air is ... well ... dammit ... it's downright refreshing! LOL

[Bailey]

Is there any guarantee that Clyde'll be a decent coach anyway?

[Cohen]

To my cartoon friend:

I only missed by 2. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/wink.gif

(BTW: The Leonard reference escapes me http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/frown.gif )

[No Worries]

How sweet it is!
