Al Horford meeting with Rockets on Friday

Nope, tons of Dominicans in New York so I guess that's close enough.

 

Not really, they usually go by boat to NY

 

I guess you guys are right about NY being a hub for people from the DR.

I just thought many would have eventually concentrated in warm places like Miami/Houston.

Speaking of the DR. If you have not been, EVERYONE should go. One of my favorite places in the world.

 

I thought it was media narrative and the cult of perception that made people think 14-15 harden was worse than 12-14 harden

 

Have been to Puerto Rico but not there. I'll look into it!

 

Lol. They're way more racist in Boston.

 

Thanks JR but can I get a 2nd interpretation, perhaps one more hopeful for the Rockets?:grin:

 

Not if you're a hometown athlete. Inb4 Bill Russell, that's 50 years ago though.

 

He was worse, at least defensively.

BTW if anyone else is curious.

 

LOL. Yes, BIG MEDIA is what is bringing down the Rockets. THE MEDIA caused the Rockets to go from the 2 seed to just barely being the 8 seed. They should be more positive about this team. IDK why they'd mostly say negative things about the BIGGEST underachieving team in the NBA last year.

And yeah the players only listen to the media that's why they go anywhere. You know, the same players that tell the media what they're doing so they can report it. Got it.

And yeah, Watkins just hates the Rockets. The team that he has to deal with EVERY SINGLE DAY. It would be impossible to do his job being unfairly negative to a team. The Rockets were just awful last year. You wanna see someone being negative? Then read these boards when the team is behind in the 2nd Q of a february game cause that's worse than anything any Media person says

 

That's because Texans like to shoot dem cans.. .you know...... small joke.

 

They all relocated from NY so not as surprising as it first seems

 

Yeah, beaches leading into mountains are amazing, the women are beautiful, exchange rate is awesome (even moreso with the strong dollar) and prostitution is legal. I also think you can skip Miami and take direct flights now from Hobby.

 

I hope they have loud in yo face 'Reggaeton' music in the background of the presentation to help attract Horford. Not that he would be even thrilled..

 

CSN New England: Celtics front-runners for Horford; not worried about the Rockets

 

Come on let's be serious.

Music from the DR is Romeo Santos and Pitbull, IE they speak Spanish.

 

The headline is extraordinarily misleading. Here is the line in the story on which the headline appears to be based:

"While the Rockets may appear to be a team that Boston doesn’t have to worry too much about when it comes to Horford, there is one wild card franchise out there: Oklahoma City."

That's just the author speculating! Smh.

 

Well it looks like we will have pretty much the same line-up next year vying for the 8th seed. The question is, does morey survive this?

 

When there's smoke there's usually fire when it comes to these things. Sigh.

 

I don't think you can read too much into that article. Like Bimathug said its speculative at best. Let's see what happens, im not confident at all though. pls Horford
