Charlotte does not seem to want to resign him He should be Cheap. nice 2 year 3 mil contract or something Rocket River should be good until Griff comes along or something else ------------------
thorp was great for us. . . in 94 come on this guy is old I mean robert parish old, he is still in the NBA becasue he has six things to offer, fouls. I loved thorpe when he was here but that was a long long time ago. ------------------
I don't think we've got an opening for assistant coach or tv analyst. ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
I thought he was a helluva banger. I use to just watch him under the basket and not the ball. It was unbelievable some of the things that went on when someone would start to put up a shot. Otis could bang with the best as far as I'm concerned. You never saw him complain about the rough stuff. He could take it and dish it out. A true blue collar worker. It's in his honor that I use OT as my user name. I hated to see him go but, it was best for the Rockets. ------------------
Otis was one of the best at taking up the paint. I don't know what Rudy was drinking that night but he surely wasn't using logic. ------------------ "We need to FOCASS".... Akeem Olajuwon
i met OT back when i was in highschool. my friends mom was his girlfriends nurse. she was pregnant and my friends mom was like damn that girl is ugly...i have no point to this post other than that... ------------------
Thomas is better, don't be crazy. ------------------ "banging Shaq is a whole different expirience"-Pete Babcock Behold the power of quotation
Heck yes and was the enforcer (when needed). Game five of the 94 championship - Hakeem puts a dream elbow in Mason's face on the spin. Oakley comes over to intimidate and OT stops him cold with a straight arm to the chest. It was a different series after that. I also remember Malone and the Jazz not being able to win a series. Not that I am advocating to get him, but he was solid (and has the rings). Stranger things have happened. ------------------ I let the dogs out.
He was in the airport today. I think my last three post's where "I saw -insert players name here- at the airport today" It sucks, I get all hopefull because my overactive, Rockets tainted imagination goes crazy! I nominate myself for intelectual poster of the decade.

Do you work at the airport? or is that jus tthe best bar in town? ------------------ "If you don't understand it, don't try to understand it." -Carl Everett
You are absolutely right OT. After the trade went down for Clyde, a lot of people were trying to decide if it was a good deal or not. My dad was at a bar one night (this was when Rudy T had a bit of a drinking problem) and overheard a conversation with RT and a fan. The fan asked something to the effect of: Is trading Thorpe going to hurt the team? Rudy T responded by saying that Otis Thorpe was one of the biggest "pu**ies" in the NBA, and that he couldnt bang with big boys. Granted RT might have been a little tipsy, but those are the words my dad said he heard. Interesting stuff.... [This message has been edited by Drewdog (edited July 09, 2001).]
Yeah, I work at the airport. I'm the manager of the hat store Lids in terminal C, and as much as I wish I could get away with it, my company frowns on employees knocking back a couple of cold ones to make the day brighter. ------------------ Fret for your figure and Fret for your latte and Fret for your hairpiece and Fret for your lawsuit and Fret for your prozac and Fret for your pilot and Fret for your contract and Fret for your car.
