4chuckie, Not a very thought of response my son, Hakeem holds the nba record for most field goals made 24-40 with no foul shots. He was getting killed in that game but the refs turned the other cheek. That is just 1 example out of hundreds should I keep going no I dont have time. What the heck kind of facts you want I have seen every Rockets game from 90 to now I have watched Hakeem and I have seen the lack of calls over the years. I dont have time to explain this to a once and a while watcher of games like yourself. ------------------
Mantronix, We lost the game because of a great play by a great player. Bottom line. Mobley may have been fouled, but referees do not like to call a foul in that situation, especially since the ball went in. Let the players decide, not the refs. As for whether I know the game, you are welcome to come down for some noon time basketball at the YMCA here in Austin. I will be happy to rain on your parade. DaDakota for 3....BINGO !!! ------------------
I've seen Hakeem get called for the foul and EJECTED after that (ugly hate-filled guy on Toronto that used to be on New York) Fouled him, I've seen Dream get called for the foul after Shaq pushed him to the floor, seen him get fouled for hitting Karl Malones elbow with his side, among many others. The only consistent thing Dream ever has gotten away with is double-dribbling on the dreamshake, and that was usually because he was so quick that the refs didn't catch it. I agree with Doc Rivers, that the refs don't have the balls to call fouls on certain people, and I think that it goes all the way up to David Stern being a corrupt, swindling , cheating, butt-lickin sorry sombitch. And that's how I feel about it, but I'm not gonna call any of you guys names. ------------------
Trust me, I will. Who the hell were you talking to? All you do is whine about the refs and irrationally blast anyone who disagrees with you. That's not talking, that's ranting. You started this thread about someone else. I guess no one should reply, huh? I tend to agree, but some people hate to see ignorance such as yours. The moment you post ANYTHING, you leave yourself open to scrutiny from ANYONE. Maybe you have been lucky enough to see every Rocket game of the 90s, but obviously you still have yet to understand THE game. Maybe you should open your eyes. Or just grow up. ------------------ Not only am I president of the WaltWizFanClub, I'm also the member. [This message has been edited by CriscoKidd (edited March 21, 2000).]
Mantronix: Two things: 1. Two people can have different opinions on the same thing. You obviously see something that I don't. 2. If you have saw every game in the 90's you need to get a life! I have watched alot of games (I won't even claim to have seen most of the games) and I consider myself a fan. But if you have saw every game my hat is off to you. ------------------
You said..."The cabbage, That never happens when someone is down by 1 that the team behind holds the ball like that. You know very little about the game to say that or your just trying to be a wise guy." Calm down there dude. Just because you're getting your ass kicked (once again) in a thread doesn't mean you have to take it personally. Second of all, get over the "Rockets don't get any calls" bs. I remember the Rockets leading the league in free throw attempts just a few years back. The refs have made some bad calls, but those are evenly distributed among the teams. Chill. ------------------ "Sources tell me that the Blazers held a team meeting after the two losses..." - "Pistol" Pete Vescey with the inside scoop.
I can't believe you guys reply to this incoherent, babbling idiot. Most of us who live here in the wilderness would shoot such animals. Why would you guys waste your time listening to this garbage? I have read this persons posts for weeks and not one makes sense. Does it to you? People come in here to talk basketball, not the XFiles(no disrespect to Mulder). And Mandorkix, I am a Bulls fan. And there isn't one that says a damn thing bad about Hakeem. And if anything, I rooted for the Rockets when we didn't have Micheal. But that is besides the fact. Listen here, G ,you come in here with such garbage that it makes me puke. You call yourself a basketball player? How the hell can you consider yourself a sportsman when all you do is whine, b**** and complain about things that only God can explain. You play basketball? I can just see you playing and for every ticky tack foul, the game is held up while you explain the theory of relativity and how it applies to that one call. You are such an idiot, I swear. Yea, Mike got calls. But Dream travelled. The magic that made Dream was the quickness he exhibited in his moves that made it look legit. Unless you run on slo motion, you don't see it. That is greatness. He practiced so much that his moves, although illegal, looked real. That is what practicing does. And even if you take 30 steps, you still have to make the shot, dumbo. Jordan did to. So did Bird, who illegally set picks over and over again and not only that, grabbed shirts and shorts to get rebounds. Do you whine about that? Or is it before your time, youngin? And I guess watching basketball for just 10 years makes you an expert on the NBA or the Rockets? You might know some. But know your role and know when to shut the hell up already. Do you need to call people out and call them names just because they disagree with your "call as you see it" theories? Do you wear triple bi-focals because you ain't seeing squat if this is the garbage you see. Your theories make me sick. They need to ban your ass again, EJ because your tired, monotonous theories are wearing thin. By the way, love the new site and look, Clutch/Admins. Sorry if I got carried away but someone had to set this person on the right path before he completely embarasses himself. Or is that too late? ------------------ Ridding the world of idiots...like Mantronix.
Criscokidd, If you had something to write great it is always fun to listen to it but dont start answering comments I have made about others because it is senseless and brainless. If you want to write another post fine I will ignore the insignificant post you originally wrote. ------------------
Wow DaDakota it takes a brilliant person to make a statement like that. Let the players decide the game real smart and original. If Carter was fouled on that last play they would have called it quick fast bro no ifs ands and buts about that. Just a case of the double standard again. ------------------
The only a#@ your kicking on a post is your own your beating yourself son, Calls don't even out and they are not spread around so take that thought back to David Stern cause that is what he wants you to think. Robots think like that. ------------------
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Just counting down the minutes before the axe falls on EJ again. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. ------------------ Live Rocketball. Breathe Rocketball. Die with Rocketball.
lol! I feel like im in an infinite loop! Matronix will never REALLY reply to anyone. All he does is just type a few sentences of over-generalized garbage and repeat. I cant believe I actually tried to take his posts seriously. Its got to be a joke! Really, it has to be. No one can be as ignorant and stupid as these posts by Matronix make him out to be. I seriously hope not. ------------------ Not only am I president of the WaltWizFanClub, I'm also the member.
None taken sir. It is honor to have a true outdoorsman such as yourself mention me in a post. BTW, we at the FBI have closed our file on mantronix as "unsolveable". ------------------ The truth is out there.
Mantronix, there is something called home-court advantage. Don't even argue...when you are on your home court, you get the calls. We were in Toronto, they get the calls. ------------------ A big time draft site has tried to stunt our growth, but we will succeed! The little draft site that could!
