    I was disturbed that someone on this board didn't know who Calvin Murphy was.
    I've decided to make a thread on what laws we should create to educate them.
    Once educated, then they we will remove the noob label off them.

    Men of the Clutch Table.

    [​IMG]

    Laws that I'm proposing to the table:

    1. Read http://www.nba.com/rockets/history/history.html , plus take a quiz on it. Members must score a 90% to pass.

    2. Watch Clutch City and Double Clutch. Go to Blockbuster and rent them.
    Members cannot skip any portion of the video and must be able to recite the Rudy T Speeches.[​IMG][​IMG]

    3. Read Dreamland.
    [​IMG]

    4. Read [​IMG]

    5. Must be able to know the history of the numbers of the Rocket Players. Example #5 is Cuttino and Juwan, #11 is Max and Yao, #10 Dunleavy and Cassell

    6. Listen to Gene Peterson call several Rockets games. Say "How Sweet it is" randomly during the day.

    7. Know the Rockets draft picks, the best and worst of them.
    [​IMG]

    8. Practice signature Rocket moves like the Dream shake, recreate the miracle Ralph Sampson shot vs the Lakers, Do the Maxwell turnaround 3pointer vs Miami and the Mario Elie Kiss of Death.
    ..MAKE ALL THESE SHOTS

    9. Shop at Kroger. Because Rodney McCray made that Kroger commercial.

    10. Attempt to break Calvin's consecutive free show record (78)


    Any more suggestions?

    Thats not a horrible idea but maybe instead of taking a rockets history course people are just banned for making bone headed statements!

    for me, if certain members of the board does not start weird topics about every former rox with weird logics to show off some kind of weird superiorities towards others, I probably would be a lot more willing to read and reply in topics concerning rox's past... :(

    of course, I wouldn't know whether is answer is off topic or not, seeing as I have some certain member on my ignore list and can't see the original arguments (weird this time or not) now.


    -- that being said, please don't ask me why I got into this thread at all... I guess I'm just that bored now. :D

    *blush*

    A part of me agrees with this idea. But another, more sensible part of me remembers that you're the same one who hates Juwon with a blind rage and exalts Vernon Maxwell to sainthood for reasons beyond human comprehension.

    But yeah, not knowing who Calvin Murphy is openly is just asking for it.

    :cool:

    tinman's busy trying to figure out why his subscription to the Houston Post seems to have stopped. He's been on hold w/customer service for 12 years.

    This should be a sticky, classic.

    I love the part about "How sweet it is."
