    I don't know where this perennial all stars stuff comes from. Do you even know how hard it is to become an one time all star let alone a perennial all star? Just being young doesn't really say you really have star potential. Just the Magic team alone have maybe 2-3 bigs who already look better than Robinson and they are young too but they most likely won't turn out to be all stars either.

    Hmm yeah you maybe right about Amare http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/stoudam01/shooting/2003/


    Robinson has the physicality & the athleticism down also. And defensively he is way better than Amare. Amare also had a ridiculous work ethic. Hopefully Robinson works hard this summer. But I agree with you. Thomas has a lot of potential. I think I like D-mo a little bit more than him though.

    Quoting stuff from a rhetoric/composition textbook is not going to move me. Here's my final statement; I don't want to go on all night:

    I am defending one of the Rockets organization. You are attacking one of the Rockets organization. Those are facts. Draw your own conclusions.

    I know, either he's a troll or cannot grasp normal logic.
    In either case, it's pretty stupid.

    I'm out

    You're forcing me, aren't you?

    The phrase "you're either with us, or against us" and similar variations are used to depict situations as being polarized and to force witnesses, bystanders, or others unaligned with some form of pre-existing conflict to either become allies of the speaking party or lose favor. The implied consequence of not joining the team effort is to be deemed an enemy.

    Lol at post-game analysis here tonight and usually other nights. You have general high-five comments about the win, and like 2 or 3 other separate arguments taking place concurrently.

    Good game Rockets. The 4th quarter a bit risky.

    You would be more credible if you would also defend the other one of the Rockets organization .... hint his initials are J and L....

    Greg Smith is showing that this team doesn't need a stretch 4, bring on Josh Smith!

    Hehe, McHale said guys on floor need to show they can finish?

    Guys and girls, McHale is already planning to train these bench players to play in the 4th in playoffs and is pre-determined to bench Lin and Asik at that time regardless of their performance!

    :p

    Vorpal, please, use the ignore list. Quoting posters that other folks have on their ignore list just pollutes the thread.

    Garbage minutes, James Harden not playing, and a blowout most of the game.

    Is this like Omer's first video highlight posted in this board? Awesome game by Big O. I'd say he's locked on MIP!

    Where are all the +/- stat mongers who love to argue how our starting PG should be switched out? Just for the record...starting PG was +21.
