    Bad thread title at least. OP tries to finesse his position midway through the thread.

    Can't blame a guy for 1) an on-court injury; 2) the performance of a whole organization over 82 games.

    Personally, I hold Steve Francis responsible for getting cut from the Rockets long before this season even started. If he was in peak form right now . . . PLUS vintage T-Mac . . . ! Can U say 3peat?

    You repeatedly bombard us with the same indecipherable babble that has some sort of inane point buried within. At some point, it becomes a futile effort trying to communicate with you. So I guess you're right about everything in that regard.

    Man you guys are just sore losers who cant admit when your wrong but want all the credit when your rarely right. I clearly said Battier being traded away would make us a better team. Thats exactly what happened. If your too dumb to understand Battier is gone and we are now winning? Thats not my fault. You guys constantly jumped on me over Battier and winning. Now he adds nothing to this team who is winning more than ever. You still cant agree I was right. I said it would be ok to trade Brooks and Battier. Some of you still dont agree with me. You still dont agree Yao needed to be traded earlier even though its blatantly obvious. Its not my fault special education clutchfans read my posts and respond to me who cant understand my posts after it ends up making them look wrong.

    If all of thats not clear enough for some people to understand because it makes you look bad now? Thats not my problem. Read more.:cool:

    Here, I will even give you one from me to show how easy it is. I admit I was wrong on wanting Chris Bosh here. He is no better than Luis Scola for that type of money. You see how easy that is to admit when your wrong?

    Haha. My humor is being missed left and right.

    My point was that being blind isn't analogous to having a foreseeable repeat injury.

    Hell YEAH YAO cost us yet ANOTHER season. And this is a very valid thread.

    Yao has been injury prone since the DeKe days. So when DeKe left, why didnt we find a suitable back up for YAO in all this time? Why has this issue been neglected and not resolved even today?

    This is where Morey pisses me off - he gambles against YAO's declining body. I bet if YAO were to return next season Morey would make the same mistake again. He will say "well we have YAO back so we are going to rely on him for the 5 spot and not worry about getting a back-up just in case he gets injured again". Morey will again bet on YAO staying healthy for remainder of the season.

    Sounds like you are blaming Morey, not Yao. Or am I missing the sarcasm?

    Might as well say Ralph Sampson cost us the season. I mean, if he hadn't gone and gotten old, we could have stuck him in and never missed a beat.

    Nah, Hakeem obviously cost us the season, why couldn't he stay young?

    So selfish, if Hakeem stayed young we would be champions.

    You wanted to prove I babbled? Not that I was wrong but that I babbled on when I am right? Ok. Good point. I babble.

    Yeah the foot was an issue in previous years, but it was restructured. They made him faster, stronger.

    And then there's what looked liked Yao getting kneed in the groin, kicked in the right ankle, and having his left foot stepped on by the opposing player.

    After that how can anyone know if the surgery actually worked the way it should have?

    Indeed. In fact, that's the only basis for your self-asserted "rightness" on Battier. You spew so much babble that nobody wants to take the time to dismantle your "arguments," which will undoubtedly incite more babble until this entire BBS is engulfed by your nonsense.

    Look, it's obvious that you have passion for the Rockets. But try channeling that passion into concise, clear arguments and maybe avoid calling everyone who disagrees with you an idiot.

    What a stupid thread! Give the guy a break. You think he doesn't want to be out there? You think injuries can be planned? Why on earth would you blame Yao for accidentally breaking his foot. The guy worked his butt off to get back on the court. For all you morons putting the blame on Yao, How bout we blame your parents for making you mentally challenged. If I was Yao, I'd tell all of you haters to go f-- yourselves!

    Son you are probably younger than me. I think you understand clearly what I say. Try not to patronize me with your condescending shot across the bow and then in the same breath say I call others intelligence into question.
