    LOL if you’d been around that long you would know that’s not true. The OGs were on the site a few years before 99. Think I discovered this site off a webring back in the early early days.

    I think you've completely missed the point OG.

    FYI, I've followed the Rockets since San Diego.

    BIG game for Dipo this Thursday against his future team.

    Silas, just draw up every play for him and let him drop 40.

    Best case scenario is in a month Olidipo is traded for a first rounder and KPJ takes over Olidipo's minutes at sg and we dedicate the rest of the season developing chemistry between Wood, KPJ and Tate. Next few years we'll have the first round picks to build around those three.

    Only if he's an Android. ;-)
    In 1971 I was in Europe having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. I had a Dutch girlfriend from Haarlem that I met on a tram in Amsterdam while returning from a free concert put on by Pink Floyd. It was at a huge park called Amsterdamse Bos. They were on a tour in Europe promoting Atom Heart Mother, with America opening, followed by Humble Pie (vastly better than America, of course), Pearls Before Swine, and then Floyd. It was a trip.

    It was pouring rain when I got on the tram with a friend, headed for central A'dam and the sleep-in where I was staying. The tram was packed. At the same time my friend and I noticed a young blonde as soaked as we were a few rows in front of us. We looked at each other, raising our eyebrows, mimicking a whistle, and when the large older woman next to her got up at a stop, we both scrambled to grab the seat next to her. I got there first. She had very long hair, blue eyes, and simply looked amazing, soaking wet or any other way. At our stop, I asked her if she'd like to have a beer with us and she said yes. I still think of her from time to time.

    I just don't know what to think of Oladipo.

    How many rosters are constructed to endure injuries to key players?

    We lost our best player, why is it such a shock that we aren't winning?

    many on CF were calling this team a contender just a week ago, but there’s no way in hell Christian Wood is the difference between being a contender and being at the bottom of the league

    The Oladipo trade wasnt a mistake because as bad as Dipo is Levert is worse as somebody with a lump in his kidney or w/e. He is signed to a multi year deal and if the trade didnt happen he would have prob just gotten sick and died if that mas was undetected and became something really ugly.

    We can still flip Dipo for assets but I'm starting to think it should be sooner rather than later cuz rhis dude just tanking his value with his crap play. Same thing with Tucker and tbh Harden as well.

    If they traded Harden in the summer they prob could have gotten Jaylen Brown and we'd be all set by now. Tucker had a valie of 3 2nds in the summer as well, I think arox would he licky to get 1 low FRP for the 0 stats all star now.

    Ya i agree and C - wood is probably a 3rd option. He is getting a lot of attention because he is getting the offense run threw him. Rockets probably still lack a batman and robin type duo. John Wall i thought could be a robin, but after coming back from that injury he just looks like a superior role player, he cant just be having 14-17 points a game and not show more. I mean if he cant score at least boost those assist numbers, he has it in him, but i guess he still limited .
