    That's right, he's the reason why the rockets have lost games this year. Tracy isn't here anymore, rafer isn't here anymore, he's the new scapegoat. Every new thread is about him and his limitations. He's too small, shoot too much, or something. He's the reason Yao had 6 shots and 8 rebs. He's the reason scola didn't grab the ball with 2 hands in the closing minutes. He's the reason why shane is averaging 5ppg. He's the reason deke got hurt and now we have midgets at backup center.

    I've read every post in the post game and every thread created after the lost and its the same contingent crying again. I don't have to say any names, you know who you are. It doesn't matter the production he's having right now. It doesn't matter he's 24 and has started less than 40 games either. Its really crazy and I guess its expected because at one point I counted 11 threads about tracy on the board at one time. People creating threads when they didn't even watch the games. New posters creating repetitive threads about the same bs. Of course the post game is Brooks burial even if half the meatballs haven't played ball past jr high.

    In the feedback forum, clutch asked how long it should be before a thread can be created after a loss. A lot of people preferred a hour, but the idiotacy of some of these threads, maybe it shouldve been a day. Give me a effing break!

    Unfortunately this crap will continue. It's easy to point the finger and place blame after losses.

    I really wish that threads talking about actual basketball issues and situations would pop up more without getting buried under repetative crap threads.

    Right now, this is the most interesting and worthwhile new thread in the GARM. And no offense to the OP, but that's a shame.

    I feel sad for the Rockets to have such fans.
    Look how supportive are Portland's fans.

    no chance for Brooks to come up close to TMac's BB level, but high chance for Brooks to undermine a game in TMac's way: put up his own stat or give up his defense.
    even though there will be always a huge gap due to physical limitations: If TMac wants, he is unstoppable and he is able to defend, while Brooks could be easily stopped and can hardly stop anyone, no matter he wants or not.
    so conclude Brooks = a downgraded Tracy at most

    Actually, I would compare Ron Artest to Tracy more... but that isn't exactly breaking any new ground.

    This is the reason why most of the older posters don't post in the GARM anymore. The quality of basketball discussion has gone down the crapper.

    he can't be the new Tracy cause nobody worships what he did in his previous stint before being a Rocket.

    I do agree Brooks is getting the blame, but he's a young player. Looking at the overall picture 1-1 is great going back home.

    exactly, what's worse is I have been banned many times just because of talking bad against those fans. I'm sorry for talking bad words but some of those fans really deserve them. :cool:

    And this is exactly the reason why sometimes I really hope Clutch is more stringed in allowing people to join this site.
