I'm going to go back and make sure there isn't someone posting on that thread talking about how one ass may look nice, but it doesn't measure up under advanced metrics.

one thing is for sure. morey is definitely reading this thread, laughing at the comments i bet. maybe he's already posted in this thread
Morey is a fan of pro-gaming, so it's really not surprising that he would visit the biggest Rockets fan site, and one of the biggest sports fan site around. DD did make a few outspoken threads criticizing Morey that were heavily debated for a while, so I wouldn't be surprised if Morey read them. Plus, DD posts a lot back then so you would find a lot of DD post criticizing Morey. I guess Morey just accepted the criticisms and worked hard on his game. He has a similar clutch gene as Harden, which explains why he was able to get Harden for such a small package.
but anyway, glad to see my "fire Morey" thread lit a fire on his ass and caused him to get Harden and Dwight.
Yeah, this is one of the things that makes me feel old, as every time I see @DUDEsays : Something RT @ BLAHBLAH : RT BLAHBLAH @otherdude OFFICIAL : Something Something I just get irritated trying to see who said what first to whom. how did this take off? what a pain in the arse. Obviously DD is not DM, right? This is all tongue in cheek humor, is it not? Can someone please translate what the original post tweet means and why?
Here is what Morey aka DaDakota thought of himself after firing Rick... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=6089041&postcount=14
