[espn.com/insider] hollinger: 10 best nba moves of the offseason

I'm not sure if it's good or bad to give up more points than they allow, or really what that means. I know what he meant to say but dont they have editors.

 

I'm a moron.

What he's saying is that when Battier is off the court, the Rockets are getting outscored by opponents. He's the only Rocket for whom you can say that.

 

Gives up more points than it allows ... what the hell does that mean?

 

Battier deserves more respect. Plus he is such a likeable guy. Great player and super-duper nice guy.

i am glad the Rockets made this trade. Look at how Memphis is doing this year, I wonder if they still feel like they got the better end of the deal.

 

That's a mistake. He means that the Rockets +/- when Battier is off the court is negative (i.e. we're getting outscored when Battier is off the court). You can't say that about any other Rocket.

 

man i was pissed after that battier trade.

boy do i feel like a douche. battier is awesome. good character guy too. him and yao really set a professional tone for our team.

please God forgive me for jumping to conclusions!

i wonder if clutch has posted anything about the battier trade since making that PUNK'D photo. these days it looks like jerry west got punked...

 

The BBS has a lot of enthusiasm ~ which honestly is the most important thing.

 

I saw it somewhere in this thread originally but somebody must have edited it out. Here were the final comments of Hollingers 10 worst article.

 

The Battier/Gay Trade : I was wrong.
