    Passed John Havilcek tonight to move into 9th place among the career scoring leaders.

    Too bad a career milestone like this happened during a loss. Still it is a phenomenal achievement. Congratulations, Dream!

    Well, at least there is one positive from this horrific and blood chilling loss from hell.

    I hate to see any Celtic Great get knocked down a notch on any all-time list, but since it's a Rocket, it's a little easier to take [​IMG]

    Congrats Dream!!!!

    My God you are annoying as hell! [​IMG]

    What happened to keeping your crap confined to one thread? You know, the thread you started that I skipped over this morning?

    What wasn't horrific about this loss behad? It'd take a major miracle now for us to make the playoffs.

    I agree it was a horrific loss. And you know what? I still had to get up this morning and come to work.

    We won't make the playoffs this year. And I still had to get up and get on with life.

    Steve Francis was severely outplayed by Kidd last night. And the sun rose this morning.

    Rudy's use of Walt and Bull left a lot to be desired. And 99% of the people in this world didn't notice.

    My point is that I am a huge fan of this team, but in my 30 years of following them, never once has my blood been chilled because they lost a game.

    But in my 2.5 years of visiting this board, I've also never had to continuously read the rantings of someone as mentally unstable as ZRB. It's annoying, and I want him to know that.

    I think you've made it perfectly clear that ZRB annoys you.

    He's 262 points behind Dominique Wilkins, Valio. Not going to pass him this season. But next year, if Hakeem plays well and is healthy for 50+ games, he could move all the way up to #6.

    nope ... if Hakeem averages 26-27 pts per game the rest of the way, he will be #8.

    Please, please give something for us Rockets fans to celebrate ... if not the playoffs. [​IMG]

    Hey you are not counting our 10+ playoffs games - do they not count or?

    We can reach our destination, but it's still a ways away.

    That's right Behad... Single out me. I'm the only one who's been negative. That's right. Feel better? Good.

    Heath ... I'm not counting out the 10+ playoffs games (you got me baby!). Last night's loss is just too heartbreaking for me to say something positive.

    I'm glad there're still believers ... [​IMG]

    I don't like negative post either, but I respect ZRB for being a deevoted fan. He may be too emotional, but many of his posts do have substance and are worth reading.

    Ok I will:

    All of these posts were taken from threads other than your thread.

    You knows this is true just because a person in the stands told you about his observations of the players?

    This post and the next one are from Dr of Dunk's chat reminder thread. You're not allowed in there, so you come to the board to spew.

    You were trying to tone things down some, and doing a good job of it. But as soon as things turn south, you lose control....again. All I'm asking is to keep your manic depressive behavior in one thread, so that it can easily be avoided. Most all of your non-game time posts are ok, but your venting during and shortly after losses is annoying.

    Sorry Clutch, this is all I will say. You banned him once, not for this type of crap behavior, but because of all the talk about his behavior.

    ZRB, you are free to email me if you wish to continue this.

    Behad- I had a relapse. Sorry for annoying you. That loss was bloody annoying. Now, lets not talk of it again.
