The Rockets Organization GTFO of Clutchfans thread, please

lol. It's dangerous to have access to a player's every burp and cough in an age of blackberries and iphones... it's a recipe for information overload.

 

IMO, the lowry thread should not have been closed. There are countless threads on baseless rumors and those were not closed (maybe because they were positive rumors). If its not popular, it will drop and its gone. If it doesn't drop the list then people are at least interested in it and that is the whole point of this website...

 

maybe some of the mods were sick of people reading into a tweet that was about LeBron and not Lowry (like myself)

 

hmm no proof at all... but I do have to admit, sometimes I wonder about this BBS. Does Clutch show any signs of living a life style outside of that of his career? If so, then I think we know why.

 

That Lowry tweet wasn't a freaking rumor. If if he tweeted that in context with where he wish to end up next year as a player, then you'd be correct. But we have absolutely no context as to what his tweet means.

It's like when Scola tweeted "it's a very sad day" and non-Soccer fans took that as somehow he disliked the Rockets.

 

Exactly.

I trust in Morey as much as the next man but if a player is possibly voicing his dissatisfaction then let him speak and let us speculate until we are proven otherwise.

The "Bosh to Houston" threads ran rampant but the "Lowry Perturbed" thread is locked?

I know for a fact that Rockets staff and PLAYERS read this forum.

We shall speak because there is nowhere else for us to be heard.

Most threads are based on speculation. Here there was a tweet, it wasn't just a pure rumor.

 

5OY. Toycen. Popeye. Stix. Mugatu. Bill Murray. Deke. Salsa. Maybe no

 

some blind faith that everyone LOVES to play in Houston flying around in here...

 

LOL I was just about to post something along the lines of this.

 

So what did lowry actually say in the tweet? I missed it.

 

I generally agree with you, but I think that tweet was a lot more than simply "gone!!" (previous dumb thread started). There was no harm in discussing/speculating what it meant, except maybe to the Rockets PR staff.

 

I am a Rockets employee. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say "All your base are belong to us." :grin:

 

One is an opinion thread and the other is speculation wrapped and disguised as news. If you started an "I think Kyle Lowry is leaving Houston thread" and clearly stated you have little to no evidence, only a hunch, chances are the mods would keep it open.

 

Locking a thread based on life fabrication is fine. Doing so because there was discussion behind what Lowry said and the mods didn't like the consensus is nothing other than censorship.

Hey its a bbs, and as I was told once before, not mine. You don't like it you move on.

 

Well this is a bbs forum. You could of always chose to, I don't know, NOT read it. So hen the issue at hand isn't what the subject was at all. It was what peoples opinions were on this subject that got it locked. Got it....

 

You should check out the book Voodoo Histories: The Role of the Conspiracy Theory in Shaping Modern History by David Aaronovitch. It is a great read.

 

Yes, all threads based on a tweet should be deleted. I hate anything to do with tweeting.

 

Umm... I love head though.
