    That said, I like this board and will stop clogging this thread with posts.

    tmo: You do know, that if CD is building someone up that means the Rockets aren't going to draft him, right [​IMG]?

    Morris is a good player. But he hasn't demonstrated the skills of a first-round pick this year. The francis-connection and one good year are getting him too much hype on this board. I'm telling you... pick him at #22, and you're overpaying. Maybe he'll be another Mobley... but I want a big man with that pick.

    Nothing wrong with giving someone his props. It costs nothing to acknowledge the good things others do, and it means a lot to them.

    I appreciate Clutch seeing that and giving TMO some recognition. Thanks, Clutch. You won my respect for the way you handled it.

    Terence had at least 2 good seasons. Like I posted before, he was getting double and triple teamed junior year, and his numbers did not increase the way people would've liked. And he does not get 'hyped', at least not anywhere other than this board. Tmo is a media whipping boy...I would agree that his performance in 2000-2001 might not be 1st round worthy, though I would amend that to 'might or might not be'. After his junior season he was projected b/w 10-15, as someone who could contribute immediately. Can one year really make that much difference?

    Whoa, Nellie.

    Cut TMO some slack. He comes in here with some good info on TRock, which I have greatly appreciated. He's known the kid since middle school (I think) and he's given some great info.

    So to his detractors, I say back the F up.

    Clutch, had your back from the begining.

    Maybe we have been TOO nice to the newbies.

    As I said earlier on this thread, I thought Clutch handled the situation admirably, and I also thought it was nice to give some props to TMO.

    That said, I did think that TMO got a little too excited over it, and I certainly did not read Clutch's initial response as an apology, nor was one necessary.

    TMO flashed his a$$ a little bit, but I do that myself at least once a day, so I'll not flame him for it.

    Thanks for reminding us, Great.

    May we incorporate it into our board lexicon?

    As in...

    "I wonder if Carroll is trying to Moiso us?"

    Or

    "Man, I really got Moisoed on that one."

    I'm with Haven: TMo (the player, not the poster) is not worthy of a first-round pick. But I'd like to see the Rockets acquire a second-rounder to throw a bone to Franchise, who WILL be a free agent some day.
