From this morning's Houston Chronicle: "I thought we were playing family reunion basketball there for a while, where you give cousin Billy his turn and uncle Joe his turn and he's going to give you your turn," Tomjanovich said. "But we did get some stops and we scored a lot of points. We made big shots." The man DEFINITELY has a career in stand-up comedy waiting for him when he decides to stop coaching! ------------------ Bring It!!
"We're not going to be able to sneak up on anybody," Tomjanovich said. "We have some visible players, especially Steve (Francis). They see the highlights of us. We're not in the backwoods somewhere." Well, we now have a reference to cousin Billy, uncle Joe, and the backwoods. Is Rudy a redneck?
Looks like Rudy's at it again: "In this game, it's all such a fine mix of interpersonal and inter-talent relationships," Tomjanovich said. "It takes time every time you add someone to it. It's like making a gumbo. You add that okra in there and everything changes." Hopefully the Rockets will watch out for that okra tonight.
The most bizarre thing Rudy has said all year was a week or so ago when Hakeem came back. Rudy said something about the Rockets being at home alone and of course they were glad for the big brother to come home -- depending on what they were doing at home alone. What the hell was that!?
JR if you're a guy, i think you know what "thing" you wouldn't want your big brother or anybody else for that matter to catch you doing. but, in hakeems situation, i think that thing is represented by "bad, lazy, unmotivated, messy basketball play".
Wham -- the Seinfeld episode tonight was The Contest. George can tell you that you definitely don't want your mom to catch you!
I haven't read this post since my first comment. Glad I came back. You guys have hit on something here. Cousin Billy, Uncle Joe, gumbo, your big brother catching you home alone... reminds me...he once said, "You don't want to be asleep when Sleepy's ready to play." thx guys...fun stuff!!
Or maybe Rudy visited "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ------------------ "The bigger they are, the worse they smell."
Thanks for finding it TheFreak. I am a little lazy today. So, who else thinks the Vancouver game with Barkley could turn into something like family reunion ball?
Sounds more and more like RT had all the boys over for a screening of "Deliverence". <center>SSSSSSSSSSQQQQQQUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL</center> ------------------
Anybody else think we might be able to use our million-dollar exception on Uncle Joe? Would you trade up in the draft if you knew Cousin Billy was coming out early? ------------------ "We're sitting there, shooting alcohol into our veins... We could just drink it!" -Tommy Lee
Any word on whether or not Uncle Joe has worked out for the Rockets yet? Wasn't he scheduled to come in after Moiso? ------------------ Too-Rye-Aye!
Yeah, the Rockets were impressed with his shooting ability, especially at a moving target. But, they think he may be undersized. They're in the midst of acquiring another 1st rounder to draft him. ------------------ The more lefties on your team, the better.
It would be good to get Uncle Joe, maybe even Bob, as they both have good work ethics. ------------------
You are mistaken paki, Bob's work ethic sucks, he taught Chuck to avoid the weights room and head straight down to the strip joints during training sessions, sink some Fosters and watch the scantly clad dancers. ------------------ Mango is the Smeg of Bizarro World
