Red Rowdies: "You got traded!"

In general I don't think it's a good idea to provoke like that, coz it could bring the best of them.

 

Yeah, that's the best taunt I've heard since the "No Means NO!" taunt for Kobe during the '02 Playoffs.

 

Man... Thats harsh man... One thing to treat a loser like Mike James like crap.. But Stro has always been very nice to the Rockets and their Fans.. I don't think he deserves all of this hate.. He seems like a pretty cool guy.

 

Yeah, just a bit slow in learning

 

that's uncalled for. Stro was nice to us, he came here with good will, front office dealt him away cold-heartedly.

 

ya i agree

 

the end justifies the means

 

I agree, Stro wanted to be here and he at least tried, whether or not he was overrated or didn't materialize into the 'great' player some fantasized about him becoming is completely irrelevant.

Save your venom for the jerks...banishing Stro to Memphis is enough of a punishment, he didn't ask for it and he's been classy about it and hasn't taken shots at the Rockets for doing it (at least AFAIK).

 

Man that is harsh. Not what I would expect from us. The guy gave his effort when he was here.

 

Actually, I heard "Rocket Re-ject".

 

Harsh... but no worse than the Michael Finley "Dallas reject!!" chant.

I know Finley is a class guy, too and all... but it still makes me chuckle every time.

Some things are mean, but still funny.

 

I thought it was funny that the fans were singing "na na na na hey hey hey goodbye" when Gay got his sixth foul... but then again he's just a rookie and he didn't ask to be traded to a losing team so I kinna feel bad for him too

 

Morally, you're right. But ... Stro is weak-minded, so taunting makes him play worse. James is tough-minded, so taunting might make him play better.

Anybody who goes to the Wolves game: If you're gonna taunt Mike James, please taunt him about bad shooting. His weakness is that he thinks the way to prove himself is by shooting, and shooting, and shooting. We want him shooting away as many possessions as possible, before they can run any plays.

 

Exactly!

 

Well said TM1.

 

I've never seen the entire TC so loud on a consistent basis as it has been this yr. It must be the Rowdies. KEEP IT UP! The loudness is contagious!

it even spread to my section and my seat is a couple inches from the club!

 

What's the Mike James chant? "Raptors reject?"

 

You just don't do something like that to a nice person like Stro. I would not do that to M James either. Just put yourself in his place - Never treat others the way you would not want others treat you.

In Stro's case, he did not even want to be traded (back!).

 

I'm sorry but it's hard to sympathize with a player as lackadaisical as he is. I don't want to call him 'lazy' and offend someone like last time. Oh screw it. He's the laziest player I have EVER seen! How many plays did he get beat by Yao down the court?

And that constant thoughtful look in his eyes, the atheletikcism... good riddance.
