    It was inevitable. But with him and Stanley Roberts gone, who are we going to make jokes about...?

    Oops. Disregard last paragraph. Not funny enough. That should read "it is now safe for the team to return to Golden Corral."

    I can't find this either, may be he means Hamiltons throat was cut when he was trying to eat chicken wings quickly without chewing them

    Yep, it's true. Seems Big Ham took umberance with Rudy about having to play in garbage time against the Kings and Rudy said AMF. And he was also upset about his lack of playing time in general. What an arrogant s.o.b.! He was only playing because of the injuries we've had at center. The guy couldn't keep up with me, and I'm the slowest white boy you've ever seen! THIS KID IS SO DUMB! Didn't even go to college, suspect he was a "social promotion" out of high school, probably has trouble signing his name - and we wasted $1.1. million on him?

    Looks like Pig'll get lots of playing time, but at least he plays like he wants to. Back-up at center (at least for the Warriors game): a rookie who can't shoot and Matt Bullard, who can't jump. Oh, boy!!!

    Do you guys come straight to the BBS or go through the page first (that's not sarcastic, I'm asking seriously)? It's the front headline off a Jonathan Feigen article.... damn interesting story. Apparently T-Ham and Rudy had a few heated discussions...

    It's on Clutchcity's front page (from the Chronicle).

    This guy is an idiot, what has he been smoking lately?

    I almost always comes straight to the forum, not only that but I always come straight to the "Rockets 2000: Game Action..." area, then I navigate from there.

    Thanks for the confirmation, though. He's outta there.

    Clutch,

    The front page is my homepage. I come to the BBS from there.

    Where did Hambone get such an ego? I would understand if he were putting up like 17 ppg and 12 rpg, but he could barely do that in 3 games.

    Fug him.

    Point is who do we sign now? It says in the article that "Former Celtics and Clippers forward Marty Conlon, former Celtics and Rockets center Eric Riley, and former Timberwolves center Bill Curley are among players available."

    GIVE ME A BREAK!! Riley, maybe for very limited minutes. Conlon....that guy has the ugliest shot in the NBA bar none. I really don't know anything about Curly, but a player with the name of one of the Stooge's can't be too good.

    Tanking is not acceptable. End of story.

    I love it!
    He b****es at Rudy T about not getting the minutes so they cut him! LOL

    It did solve some other problem though:
    *Everyone dosent have to sit on one side of the plane while T Ham sits on the other.
    *Teams hotel roomservice bills will drop by 85%.
    *People sitting behind the Rockets bench will finally be able to see the games.
    *During games Baskeball's will no longer be pulled off of there shooting trajectory by Hamiltons gravity field.

    So see its not so bad :)

  16. At what point does Les get fed up with how many players he will play to sit at home and get fat?

    Man the Rox have had some terrible decisions this year as far as roster goes.

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out, fat boy!

    Now, if we can only sign Tim Duncan in the off season as a replacement, we won't miss him at all. [​IMG]

    How can a turd-bodied individual complain about going from nothing to starting in games for and NBA team in which they are paying him relatively well? He was getting his time. He was getting his chance and sadly it seems that frustration has gotten the better of him. Rudy is dealing with this professionally once again. He is a very professional coach.

    What an arrogant ass! The ONLY reason he was getting any significant playing time was because of injuries to the other centers. Maybe if the lardass took his conditioning as seriously as he takes Mickey D's drive-thru window he would be playing as much as he thinks he should!

    Mark my words: T-Ham's plea bargain will get screwed up. He'll get busted again for krill rock and he'll then be known as the biggest dude in cellblock #9!

    Pig miller goes from the street to Starting. How often do you see that?

    It sound like Rudy T and THamm went at each other like to giants. One much larger than the other. However, when your a project, and on your second chance, there's no room for error. He should have known better. It was sign of immaturity on his part. I'm glad he's gone.

    Hakeem's return played a role in this. A minor role, but it was a factor.
