    Actually the thread that's the most popular was started by DD

    its the "WOULD YOU TRADE TMAC FOR MANU" Thread

    that thread is the cocaine powder of the GARM, the addicts couldn't get enough.

    that's because their parents named them after Kwame Brown. If they were born in the 70's they would be named after LaRue Martin and Kent Benson and Austin Carr.

    DaDakota a mighty thank-you for finally addressing the elephant in the Rockets locker room.

    Will we ever recover from this epic fail ?

    And it's funny. Ignorance of law.....I mean the rules. But, most fans know that face guarding legal in the pros, not college. And yet, these people vote on the most important awards in the league.

    Clyde eventually came here and we won a championship so no it isn't a big deal... How do you know we would've won 6 or 7 championships??? There were a lot of good teams with lots of talent from the 80's and early 90's....You would have to deal with Magic's Lakers...Isiah's Piston's...and Jordan's Bulls.... It's not outta the question but you just can't assume we would've won 6 or 7

    OTOH, Memphis has already established that they'll trade most anyone for very little in return ...

    I think they brought Battier in to be the 3rd guy and defensive stopper. Shane has been good defensively and below avg offense. Watching shane against utah is like elliot ness after prohibition. He had no bootleggers to chase down, thus he became irrelevant.

    Oh, what about Spoon James?......I used to play ball with Pearl Washington, he was a pretty good PG back in the day.

    DaDakota, if you are going to compose a poll for every "screw up" the Rockets have made since the championship years, the site is going to need more bandwidth. Since that time, this has not been a well managed team; I am trying to discern if it is now, or is ownership the real problem? I actually think Morey is bright and relatively realistic. I am not sure Les is.

    Now THAT would be a realistic topic.....

    Solid, this is a protest thread about the Rudy Gay thread....sort of tongue in cheek.
