    Can we change the "Got Pippened" section on the front page back to "Got Rocked" because the thing is that I just don't think we should have any aspect of Pippen remaining with the Rockets. I mean even though Francis didn't have a SUPERB game against the Bucks I really don't think his game should be compared to what Pippen did or more realistically didn't do for the Rockets last year. I thought to get Pippened meant you had to go 1 for a billion and blame the loss on your teammates. [​IMG]

    Just my thoughts. I think it might insult Francis to see that he's being compared to Pippen's play last season.

    I just don't like how the word "pippened" sounds..."rocked" sounds better, and goes hand in hand with the rockin', Rockets, rocked thing....Besides, the Rockets haven't done too well in the "pippened" days!

    I like "Got Pippened". It is an insult to Pippen, and I like any insult to him.

    I'm sure alot of Rockets fans want to insult Pippen, but when you refer to a Rockets player who had a bad or so-so night to the pathetic Pippen you are comparing your players to a really disgusting person. No matter how bad a Rockets player will play this season, they don't deserve to have any aspect of their game compared to the insensitive, unmotivated, selfish, cry-baby, pathetic, cancerous person that is Pippen.

    Houston Rockets will play with heart and they will play as a team and support each other as they develop into a title contender. Any player that does not do that will be gone.

    If you really hate Pippen, then you wouldn't want to compare our hardworking players to his pathetic person.

    I think CC should change "got pippened" back to "got rocked." I do, however, believe we should continue to call Scottie, "Quitten." That IS funny.

    It's still EARLY in the season. I will always believe.

    I'd like to see it changed too. I'm tired of any reference to that loser and seeing "Got Pippened" brings back bad memories.

    OH, THE HORROR!!!

    No offense Azim, but it looks like Clutch only removed the HTML in question to put up this special email list...It is gone, but I bet only temporary. Clutch still may leave it or change it...

    We'll have to see if it returns after the "Special Expanded Coverage"...

    Anyone care to speculate on what's happening?
