No, he meant "in the skies," like he said. The poster had said in another thread that he saw a cloud shaped like Asik's head and he considered this an omen.
Oh well, not much of a loss really. This guy has got to be the worst professional to date when things doesn't go his way. Terrible effort, body language, just pretty much sulking it out there. His clumsy hands and missed dunks is getting quite annoying now that he's completely worthless out there.
We have a deal! Just waiting for the deadline. Phony injury to protect the outgoing "asset." Wonder what we are getting?
It all makes sense now. Dmo is going all Tonya Harding on Omer... don't trust that Lithuanian smile! Something evil is afoot...
What is it you expect from a backup center...??? And he looked pretty darn good to me when he was playing in the forth quarter and our "SUPER STAR" center was on the bench...
You guys who keep putting Asik down either haven't been Rocket fans for very long or you have a damn short memory. I, for one, am tired of it. He was working his butt off while Harden was taking the first quarter off (either because we were on the road or because he wasn't interested because the plan was to get Dwight his touches early) and all the media fools who think they're analysts without watching a game were saying our slow starts were because of the twin towers and all the shallow-minded fake fans who have to spend all their time castigating somebody were just parroting the media fools who were repeating what they'd heard. We tried the twin towers and that didn't work out, but it worked out while everybody was buying into it. Later, when Harden would bring the ball up and toss a weak pass to Howard 12 feet from the basket and Howard would try to take four or five or six or seven dribbles and shove his way in against a stacked defense while our wings spotted up and Asik stayed out of the way as ordered and Harden watched in total apathy awaiting the part of the game in which he could play offense - well, golly, it didn't work. And who did people blame for that? Asik! Not Harden, standing there too bored to grow a beard. Not Howard, who was succeeding less than 30% of the time (it wasn't his fault) on his possessions, not Beverley and Lin and Parsons who were allowed to be part of the offense but never screened, cut, or even moved - just watching while showing a range of emotions ranging from disinterest to dread as Howard was forced into a turnover. We were ONLY getting Howard his touches early and nobody else was playing offense and nobody except Howard and Asik were playing defense and nobody except Asik was boxing out. And, uh, we fell behind. And every fool who thought his opinion was something that had to be shared was blaming Asik, who, along with Howard, seemed to be the only player committed to trying to make things work. Then Asik gets sick while every idiot child in the world is putting him down at the games, in the media, on the internet, and he gets depressed and for like, five days, gives in to his depression. He always works so hard, but everybody that should be pulling for him is treating him like crap, and he's sick, and, for a very short time, he stops putting out the effort. Now you could still find about 11 Rockets on the team that have spent ten times as much time not putting forth the effort, but all the fake fans that have been treating him like crap because he's a great defensive player but not a great offensive player (on a team that's desperately looking for adequate defensive players) are now treating him like crap for getting depressed by the fact that everybody's treating him like crap. So our guards finally get a little embarrassed by giving up an average of 2.7 points per possession to whoever the Reddick of the night happens to be, and having it mentioned more than a few times, and start playing like they have something to prove at the same time that the twin towers are scrapped, and then that's supposed to be proof that Asik was holding them down! I mean, because somebody is willing to stand around while people like Steve Blake and JJ Redick take just as many uncontested shots as will fit in a quarter of basketball, and then not even try to play offense either, apparently out of jealousy that Howard is the go-to guy at the start of the game, that's Asik's fault. Now, Utah just rolled us in the dirt, mostly because of our lack of effort in the first quarter. That's the same reason we were getting rolled in the dirt in the first quarter earlier in the year - not because of the twin towers per se, but because of lack of effort. Lack of effort by Parsons, lack of effort by Lin, lack of effort by Harden, lack of effort by Harden, lack of effort by Harden, and lack of effort by Harden. But the only person people want to b**** at about lack of effort was the guy who never gave up all last year and all through the tough times early this year. Until he got tired of everybody in the world b****ing about him and wanting him gone because they want to get some glory boy like Carmelo Anthony to come and wow us with his pretty moves while we lose games through lack of team play. Yeah, Asik showed some lack of resolve for about a week there. Well, enough ranting. To put it more succintly, I detest the type of "fan" who is always looking to put some player down. And I'm annoyed as hell at the type of fan who is too dim to watch a basketball game and see who's boxing out and who's making defensive rotations and who's trying to play a team game, and who isn't - yet bleat some asinine opinion to the world as though it meant something - just because they get off on saying hateful things.
what a punk maybe if this guy knew how to catch the damn ball, we wouldnt have needed Dwight.... he is a rebounder with bad hands nothing more
