here i go...

we need better posters with quality vision

 

I love how every b****es and complains about Francis and his weaknesses, and then just assumes that no other teams see these weaknesses and would be perfectly fine to trade for him.

 

Those "no other teams" would move Francis to the 2 spot; hence they DO see his weaknesses; at the PG position.

 

Personally, all these trade scenarios can kiss my @$$! The Rockets record is one of the better ones in the league. Francis may be is some sort of "slump" as in late, but that is no reason to trade him. Why break up a good thing, a good team?

Rockets lose a game
Trade Francis thread

Rinse
Repeat

 

The only thing is that top players just dont let there teams lose games like this. Francis just hasnt stepped up this year. Hopefully he will soon.

 

my prediction is the rockets may make the playoffs but get knocked out of the first round, and then the rockets will finally reliaze we need a better team.

 

I am surprise that you are thinking that they WILL
make the playoffs? I see Player/Coach/Management problems about to erupt. I hope not though!

 

I like when people put 'discuss' at the end of a post to try to give it some sort of legitimacy.

 

I said May

 

Earth to Yetti... Earth to Yetti...

They're playing over .600 ball with a quarter of the season already gone. They could almost play .500 the rest of the way and still make the playoffs. And despite ugly games here and there, they're nearly playing .500 ON THE ROAD.

Earth to Yetti... Come in, Yetti...

 

The only thing you hope is that everybody except Yao gets traded. When we make the playoffs, you'd better eat your words.

 

SWTSig, great thread, I myself have frequently had the same question come to mind: why DO zombies eat brains? Here's a few thoughts that I jotted down the other day while giving myself a colonoscopy:

Actually, the palate of many zombies have diversified beyond the simple craving of brains to include the entire human flesh, and occasionally even the flesh of animals. However, for the one-dimensional zombie who only craves brains and feels the need to announce this fact over and over again (“Braaaainnnns”), I have a couple of unproven theories. I must note, however, that I think that no one will ever properly understand this craving, as I doubt we will ever fully understand why pregnant women crave peanutbutter-covered pickles and other oddities.

1) Perhaps brains are the most delicious part. I mean, we eat all sorts of various animal parts, all packaged nicely in the Wal-Mart meat section. We have our preferred favorites, like ribs, why can’t zombies share the freedom to have their own preferences?

2) According to ZomBfied on satanosphere ( www.satanosphere.com/stor...111657/899 ), an all-brain diet is a very sensible diet for zombies.

3) In the same article, "Brains make the pain go away," says Sheila, a zombie from Return of the Living Dead. Many zombies suffer from chronic pain due to their advanced state of being dead, often moaning the word "Brains."

4) Since many zombies become zombies through some top-secret government chemical which falls off of a transport, seeps into the ground, and then re-animates our dead, perhaps the brain-craving is an unforeseen side-effect of the drug/chemical, much like the unforeseen anal leakage caused by Olestra in some potato chip products. (Although, on a sidebar, as someone who is quite knowledgeable in the field of optics/photonics and the crystallization patterns that create right or left hand polarization, how could they NOT know that reverse-crystallizing food could cause severe digestive problems—reverse crystallization is like a mild, unprocessable poison to the body...despite the fact that reverse-crystallized sugars taste the same as normal sugar without the risk of getting fat.)

Or perhaps the side-effects are not side-effects at all. I mean, this is the government. If they are brewing up some top-secret undead potion, it surely has a purpose. My thought is that the chemical was created to breed an undead army to unleash upon our enemies. So, what would be the point of a bunch of stinking, rotten undead stumbling around if they don’t cause mayhem? The solution? Make them crave live brains. Then, they kill the enemy. Okay, so why not just make them crave flesh? Well, that is simple. Since they seem to be infectious, if they just went and chewed the arms off of the enemy (since they never, ever finish a body, having short attention spans as they do) then they would just infect an entire county and then we would have an enormous, uncontrollable mob of undead. Since all good zombie fans realize that the average zombie can be stopped by shooting and destroying their heads (or brains!?!) then by having the zombies eat the brains first, then that assures that the victims won’t be rising again. And, for the occasional unlucky individual who manages to get away with just a scratched arm, well they transform into zombies and help out. Yes, the population of undead will increase, but within reasonable numbers.

5) Perhaps the brains represent a life force to them. Or memories and intelligence that they now lack. This theory, I cannot really justify. I don’t know. I have never eaten human brain. Maybe there is some value we do not realize (and may never get a chance to) since most polite society frowns upon people who eat brains.

The official answer, unfortunately, I do not know. Hopefully someone else here will be able to give a more researched, informed answer. I was just trying to be silly and explore a few ridiculous possibilities. Lets see what some of the experts think. I have yet to see a zombie movie where the brain diet has been explained.

 

So if I read you right, SamFisher, you're saying that we need to get Steve started on an all-brain diet?

 

Yup, you, Steve get's the all brain diet, Yao gets the all-balls diet.

Problems solved.

 

You guys are nuts if you think we're going to make the playoffs...

 

How COULD we make the playoffs?

No one loses to the Defending Champions and makes the playoffs, it's unheard of .
