Well it took you guys over 25 years to win a title so I say we have a few years before we approach that futility. It is also funny to see you guys bragging about having a winning record versus a team that came into the league 25 years after you. YOU SHOULD HAVE A WINNING RECORD! Remember I am a MEMPHIS Grizzly fan and we have a 4-2 record on the powerful , historic Rockets.
MemphisX - now you just look like a troll. What are you doing here? Fill us in, because I can't really tell. The Rockets were championship contenders when the Grizzlies came in to the league. They've already hit the bottom of a rebuilding team and are still ahead of the Grizzlies. Grizzlies management dealt away a franchise point guard for Othella Harrington, Michael Dickerson and a #13-#18 first round pick. They traded a top lottery pick for an over-the-hill Otis Thorpe. They have had a #2, #3 and #4 pick the last 3 seasons, and drafted power forwards each time. Sorry, these things can't be chalked up as "expansion" mistakes. I think Jerry West will eventually right the ship, but come on now -- for crying out loud, your signature here (which you now deliberately are not including in your posts) reads: <I>Memphis will finish ahead of the Rockets in the 2002-03 NBA season. Book it!</I> You just look desperate. No matter ... though I'm still trying to figure out how you can say it "only hurts" losing your draft pick to Detroit if it's #2 or #3. You mean if you cough up the #5 or #6 pick in the draft, this is no big deal .... but you're thrilled about getting the Rockets potential #13?
Nice approach but a bit off target. The Rockets made it to the playoffs many time before winning the 2 championships, even made it to the finals twice before finally winning it. Records against certain teams mean nothing to me if we are gauging whether a franchise is SORRY or not. You really need to go by overall accomplishments. The Rockets franchise had won more games( almost twice as many) than the Grizz in the same amout of time in the league. Also the Rockets made the playoffs in their 8th season, it does not appear that the Grizz will be meeting that standard since this is their 8th season. I am not knocking the Grizz but to say that they are a better than the Rockets as a franchise is way off base.
I'll tell you what he's doing. He's coming in here and rooting for us to lose...really classy guy . I hate all these trolls that come from other boards and talk smack like its their pathetic bbs...I swear its only the lowly teams fans that come here too. gettinbranded from chicago, all the nugz fans, memphisX , (I would mention swopa but he's pretty cool.) hmmm, I guess they can only stand watching their pathetic teams for so long that they have to pester some other board that actually have hope for their franchise. I really can't remember a kings fan or a pacer fan coming in here, why is that?
Clutch, No they are Stu Jackson mistakes. Just like signing JWill and Mike D. were pre-Jerry. I still think we will beat the Rockets to the playoffs and our unprecedented horrible start killed our chances of finishing ahead of you guys. You guys have one thing right. Until we finish ahead of you in the standings, you owe us no respect.
Winning Record and Time In League are not directly related. Just ask the Los Angeles Clippers or Denver Nuggets. If your organization stinks, it just flat out stinks, whether it's 10 days old or 100 years old. Good luck, Grizz fan. You'll be waiting at least 5 to 10 more years to see any significant improvement in your lot.
I remember MemphisX used to be one of the more respectful non- Rockets fan on the board. I guess losing does change your temperament.
Clutch, I didn't know you talk smack like this. You also have good memory on a troll's deed three months ago. I guess it's never a good idea to get a BBS adminitrator mad. I feel bad for Memphis fans, but this particular troll deserves it!
Detroit will be very very good if they pick Darko Milicic. Memphis will be Memphis. They're better, but they're nowhere near the Rockets, nor will they ever be. Ming Griffin/MoT Posey Mobley Francis This is our team, and we're unhappy with it. Changes will be made, and we have a fresh face (Boki). Lorenzen Wright Gasol/Swift Miller/Battier Battier/Dickerson J-Will/Earl Watson All indications are that we're getting tremendous help this summer, and we have no more rookies. We missed the playoffs by one game, you missed it by more than 10. Do you really expect to beat us to the playoffs? Do you really expect playoffs this upcoming season?
I was waiting for this. I just KNEW Clutch was going to revisit this post again after the NBA Draft lottery! LOL
