These guys would be too afraid of JVG's famous "ankle bracelet" move to fight. Nobody wants their coach to turn their ankle.
Nobody wants the Rockets to become a carbon copy of the JailBlazers. That's just ridiculous. "Altercations" does not = Fist Fights; Going at fans in the stands of your own team; fights in the parking lot; getting caught with weed; and so on. I can guarantee you that with Shane and Yao on our team, teams are going to test us...because those two alone can label a team as "milk drinkers". If we are really good, that's going to give teams a bigger reason to test just how tough we truely are...because like jopatmc hinted, that might be the opposing team's last resort at beating us. All I'm saying is that - yes - we do have the players on our roster who won't back down from that type of insult and they will take offense to it. And no...i'm not sitting up here praying for it...or hoping for a outcome that involves players on our team fist fighting... but I would "understand" a 1 or 2 game suspension by some of our players to get it through to other teams that we won't be pushed around. Do I want to see a IND/DET type brawl? Heeeeeell No. I just want the satisfation of knowing that i'm rooting for players who won't be wusses and pushed around.
I personally like Mutombo's swagger. He won't fight you, but he will embarrass you. Just like he did to Snyder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qExa6gKGG14 <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qExa6gKGG14"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qExa6gKGG14" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> I think this team needs to bring back the swagger we had back in '05. A confident swagger is all this team needs, we don't need thugs getting up in everyone's face.
What's he supposed to do? Never post, because he's never allowed to give an opinion, or call you out for saying something that makes no sense? Methinks yobod should be made a permanent rookie...
apparently, rookies aren't suppose to "analyze" I sure hope Rafer doesn't put that in his mind and just play the way JVG asks him to. He's gonna have tons of assists this year with Battier, Yao, T-Mac, and others to pass to. I can't wait!!!
swagger How one presents him or her self to the world. Swagger is shown from how the person handles a situation. It can also be shown in the person's walk. Ryan: "Denzel Washington has swagger in all his movie rolls" Phil: "You can't forget about Al Pacino! He had swagger all over in Scarface!!!" I got this definition from urbandictionary.com This is definately what the team needs, a lil swagger. remember the 04/05 season when the whole team was waggling the last 3 digits of their fingers after they connected a trey? We need something like that... some flare!!! But I thought you couldn't showboat and stuff anymore... like they are going to T deki for finger waggling... swagger players: TMAC, Deki, wells, synder, rafer Role model boy scout goody to shoe players: Yao, Shane, Luther, Chuck, JL3 Enforcers/ganstas: Wells, synder, howard(only b/c he wont back down), tmac sometimes... We have a pretty mixed combination of players soo its good.. last year we were all nice.. we got a lil swagger meanness and some cool headed guys to keep us focused
