    I must admit despite how abhorrently disgusting and inexcusable the Milwaukee blowout was the mayhem on the BBS that followed the game was absolutely comical. Other than that, the post-game loss threads are usually pretty unbearable. Maybe not quite as unbearable as the 50 Shane Battier threads out there but it's pretty close.

    I come here just to see who are the bandwagoners and who are the bi-polar people. Of course I enjoy us winning after, however It's just funny when we lose.

    Everybody starts pointing the finger at Yao and start calling him soft.

    I also avoid the GARM after a win. The threads are about as idiotic. The best time to come to the GARM is at the trade deadline, right before/during the draft, and during the FA moratorium.

    I have to admit, even I came and trashed the team after the Milwaukee loss. That was a national embarassment.

    I usually don't bother visiting the GARM for the 24 hours following a loss. Too much irrationality and stupidity on display, every time.

    How many people are still wanting to jump off a cliff after watching the Lakers beat the Spurs almost exactly the same way they beat us a night before?

    Apparently its worse after a close win if the team loses a meager 8 point lead. You'da thunk the Rockets were up by 20 with 4 minutes to go and had to win it on a half court heave after Artest stole the ball.

    At least after a loss folks are talking about what actually happened, instead of theoretical crap about what will or won't happen in a completely different situation against a completely different team.

    T-Crap lovers definitely appear after a loss because it's hard for them to get a chance to bash Yao or other rockets players.

    Or they could be Rocket fans who for some reason took exception to something Yao did or did not do.


    BTW, I have been called a T-Mac lover in the past simply because I would NOT pile on him when others would. So apparently T-Mac neutrality makes you a lover too.

    I try to avoid it during and after the games. Bipolar fans are bad, but consistently negative fans are just as bad. Unless tinman, vangundier, hayesfan, clutch, or durvusa makes a thread I try to ignore it.

    I'm OK with discussion, but not the way we've been doing it lately. It's been borderline irritating.
