    Either way he's pissed off countless fans. Not only is he going to have to produce, but he's also going to have to apologize profusely, as well as be prepared to face criticism from those who will undoubtedly continue to attack his character even after he's "changed."

    Basically that's not going to happen.

    If he wants to point to anyone as a model of what [NOT] to do, then he probably shouldn't follow the path of someone like Chris Brown who simply couldn't (and can't) deal with people constantly calling him out -- which perpetuated the hatred for him.

    So a message to Royce in this instance would be: if you decide to change, don't be a dip**** about it. Own up to your sour attitude and actions. Only then can enough people respect you.

    White if you're reading this please get well and work hard to come back. You have great potential and I know you can show Houston you can be a game changer!

    His attitude has started to turn around lately.

    Right now, i feel all that he would have to do is to report to D-league just until the All-star break. By that time he will have wreaked havoc down there to the point to where they will be able to call him up in time for the second half of the season.
    Fingers crossed.

    Yeah, we hate on him online, but if half of you were to meet him while shopping you'd go from "who does this scrub think he is!" to "oh royce, i hope you resolve your differences with the rockets! good luck!".

    It is our duty as Rocket fans to do this in hope that it gets him back on the court. We must swallow our pride for the greater good. :grin:

    I doubt it. I think most would just ignore him or talk crap about him to whoever they were with.

    I would sarcastically tell him you looked great at the game the other night and it was pleasure watching you play basketball at the game the other night that you were at.

    The season is over in January? Was this part of the new CBA?

    He has to get into game shape, report to D-league and wait until they trust him again, to give minutes.

    It took Mook an eternity

    Highly doubt it. Do you really think all he has to do is show up at DLeague and wreck hovac?

    During preseason, White was the worst defender among all rookies. He made Dmo looked like D12 on defense. He was slow and totally out of shape. How can a rookie who signed his first ever NBA contract coming to training camp so out of shape?? Did he really think he was LeBron-talented? Do you think he has the time to workout, keep in shape and play a little pickup game, while he tweets bullcrap away? Rockets offered the best workout environment keeping himself in game shape and where the hell was him for the last few weeks?

    Rockets deserve better work ethic from their rookies, and so do the fans!

    Apologize for my emotional outburst but it really pisses me off just thinking about it...............:mad:
