[The Warm Stove] Reality Still on Hold

Looks like some fat-ass blogger is disappointed that the Rockets are getting all the headlines. Pretty uninspired piece, he's clearly just trying to bash the Rockets when there's nothing TO bash. He comes off looking like a bitter piece of crap.

 

The reality is the rockets are what they are.

 

There's presenting facts and making an argument, and then there's flat out attacking someone. This guy is the latter...the definition of a hater.

 

The stove is warm because there is a fresh pile of crap on it.

 

That blogger had too much fun writing that article...

 

I actually found this article worth reading. We still have a lot to prove.

 

What's the matter blog boy? Can't get a real newspaper job?

 

The anti-Rocket writers out there are really starting to reach. It has basically come down to being dishonest about the strength of the Rockets' opposition during this streak and attacking McGrady's character.

 

My response:

 

Doesn't he even look at the records during the streak? We've beaten a lot of good teams.

 

You've just proven that you don't realize that the Rockets have knocked every other team in the west down a notch, save for LAL.

You've just proven that you don't realize that every other team in the league is paid to play, and is a team of PROFESSIONALS, not highschoolers or college boys.

You've just proven you may be here for the Bulls fan section.

 

Among all the articles and blogs and newsreels and everything else in the media, the only thing people will remember beyond this year about all this is that a Houston Rockets basketball team achieved the 2nd longest-winning streak in NBA history (or 1st). That's the only thing that will show up. The Rockets winning streak is like the Rolling Stones, and the critics are like the New Riders of the Purple Sage. Only one will really be remembered. So, have fun with it- anytime something becomes a big story like this, you have just as many people that want to knock it down.

 

I agree COMPLETELY with coach on this one. If winning 20 straight is so easy, why have only 3 teams done it? Most teams go through soft stretches in their schedule, yet all but three have lost before they got here. You trip up against a bad team or a mediocre team has a hot shooting night. It happens, except for three times in the entire history of professional basketball.

Anyone who discounts this and shrugs it off as just an anomaly is not just wrong, but completely ignorant of and disrespectful towards the history of the game.

 

This is my response to him:

I feel silly for even giving this guy the time of day.

 

Boy, you really showed him!

 

Yeah we got things to prove, but this guy's an idiot. I like how he makes it seem like TMac is happy with only this run and proves something.

If the d-bag knew anything, he'd know that Mac has said this means nothing and the playoffs are the only thing that matters.

I can't believe we've gone on this much about this dum*ss

 

My response:


I agree that winning a championship is going to be hard, but don't you think that if they accomplished this feat that they can at least give a pretty good shot at winning it all. I'm not saying it all, but your attitude shows the same attitude tracy had against Detroit and dallas had against golden state. There are no gaurantees so why would you critisize tracy and the rockets for doing something special in a turmoil filled season...when you yourself have made a gaurantee that very well might not hold up.

 

Although I'm a Rockets' fan, I do think you guys are overreacting.
Look at Patriots, they had 18 wins in a row and only one team in NFL history had done this before. Patriots lost one, suddenly it became a big joke. Yes people will remember Patriots in 2008, but only as the victim of Giants.

I'm not saying winning streak is not greate, but many people think championship is more important than winning streak or perfect season. The blogger is just one of them.

 

Someone should post this to his blog. ROFL!!!
