Huh!?! un·sub·stan·ti·at·ed [ùnsb stánshee àytd ] adjective unverified: not proven factually OH! Uh...yeah I guess it was. But...MO IS GOOD!
Like I give a **** what you think. Let me ask you a question, is it just a hobby for you to act like a 3-year-old or do you just forget to take your meds sometimes? Once again, you demonstrate that, at times, you are a thoughtful, balanced poster and, at other times, you are a psycho with the IQ of turnip. Do us all a favor and refill the prescription.
Oh, cute. Let me play the ace card of "psycho with the IQ of a turnip." What kind of quote is *that*. What, you are out of your hangout element and have to resort to calling people names to debate??? Psycho...soap operic histrionics... *puke* Jeff, this is not a hanbout debate. This is a measure of our ability to call player skills. We are in the Rocket's forum. You are unsubstantiated, and continue to make clueless claims about how NBA players work out in the summer. Kenny is not getting "mopped up on the floor" by Mo. bet me.
Jeff, Surely the schizo behaviour you are criticising HeyP for is exactly what you are doing here. All he did was disagree with your unsubstantiated claims that Mo is beating Kenny in workouts. HeyP is a stubborn knob who acts like a tool most of the time but this really is the pot calling the kettle black. Also any chance of some proof to your claim or maybe some clarification, is it just rumour or did someone in the know tell you? Smeg
Yeah, just like Cato working so hard and being at big mans camp. I don't believe a out of shape overweight Taylor could stay in front of Thomas. Especially after you combine this with coming off a severe injury like the one he had.
*puke* is the one thing we agree on. Hey, believe whatever you like. It makes absolutely no difference to me at all.
Jeff, what is *puke* is you saying I'm a "thoughful" "good poster" sometimes but am a psycho when I don't agree with you. That is *puke* You still have not answered anyone's questions on how you can substantiate this rumor that Mo is mopping Kenny. You are abusing Kenny to this BBS, and you've been at it since July 1st, at least. Count on someone challenging you. Don't go on the defensive ... just back what you say. My point is plain and simply and easy to measure. My point is that you will be proven wrong in Fall camp. MoT will not be "mopping the floor" with Kenny. It is a very simply objection that I'm making. Don't make me puke to your claims of "heypee is trying to granstand a long time poster" again. Just talk basketball.
If Jeff is right and in October Taylor is mopping the floor with K9, that would be good... right? That would mean that Taylor is everything we might want him to be. Well, maybe not everything, but better than Kenny. It's been a lucky summer. I've been excited about Yao since I saw the video clips Clutch had, but he surprised me with his play in Oakland. Maybe MoT will be another surprise. He has a ton of potential. What if he breaks out this season... like KT did last season? That would be groovy. Better than groovy.
You are asking me just talk basketball and not get defensive when you essentially call me a liar and tell me I'm clueless? Riiiiight. Besides, how could I possibly back anything up to you or anyone else anyway? You want the names and home phone numbers of my sources? Given that you were the guy who couldn't figure out why the Rockets wouldn't give you the names of their plays so you could diagram them in Flash and post them on the internet with the excuse "it's not like in football...other teams already know their plays," I doubt you'll get this either. So, say and believe whatever you want. I don't care.
I don't doubt that Jeff was told what he posted here but it does seem kind of hard to believe. KT has improved his body and game pretty steadily every offseason since he's been here and his quickness is too much for a lot of PF's to handle right now, much less a guy like MoT. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Heyp / Jeff - I am not accustomed to carrying on thoughtful dialogues via the BBS... I usually just hit and run on whichever thread is most thought provoking at the time that I log on. And, while I am not agreeing in total with Heyp, I can say that I generally back K.T. over MoT for a variety of reasons, (both on court and off), however, having said that, I would like for you to consider coming across (for the rest of us peons) with some additional information to bolster the statement that MoT is "mopping up the floor with K.T."... and (if in fact it came from you...) some additional info on the alleged Cato "fat-man camp" and "working his ass off" kinds of material. Please, for the sake of peace and other far more selfish and selfserving reasons... provide us with at least one "attributuable" source (no, I'm not a journalist) for the claims being debated!! I generally have respected and agreed with both of your takes on most threads, but I will appoint myself the Jesse Jackson of this little brouh-ha-ha , and at least ask for peace and justice, thereby making an instant name for myself in the international community... Can't we all just get along.... (I know, I'm the one that's usually firing off a couple of quick bursts and disappearing into the night, oh well, what can I say )
How can I possibly do that and EVER expect to get any information from my sources again? Ya know, some of my sources are my friends too. If your friend told you not to divulge them, would you do it anyway just to prove yourself to a bunch of people on the BBS??? Seriously? Good grief. I don't care if you guys believe me. It really doesn't matter and I don't feel the need to justify myself to anyone anyway.
Jeff, don't bash Kenny as a means to prop up MoT and act surprised when someone calls you on it. I'm not calling you a liar, I'm calling you and/or your "sources" clueless on judging basketball practices. We are not asking for names, we are asking for whether these "sources" are basketball people, marketing or media....very simple. And I am willing to bet they are wrong, whoever they are. Jeff, just talk basketball, and don't call me a <b>psycho.</b> You've made this claim for 2 months now, and plenty questions from posters have gone unanswered. Just bet me and get it over with. We will know soon enough. Oh, you shouldn't go here. This is like me questioning you on giving massages while standing on my head eating tofu and interpreting Katherine Harris's butterfly ballot ink blots.
This proposed bet sounds pretty freaking stupid. Whether or not Mo is really mopping the floor with KT come October has no bearing on how accurate Jeff's information is. Isn't that what is being called into question? I don't understand the sudden in your face hostility here.
HP, I believe that your knowledge for basketball plays is very good. I also do not want to defend Jeff in anyway; however, I do feel you have and are bashing Mo. If I recall well, you were the one saying that Mo Taylor is good for nothing. You were the one saying that Mo could not do anything right because he averaged a mere 10pts, & 4 rbs during his first three months with us. Then, January 2001 came and you saw how he became a 20+pts player, and we had a strech winning them all. I believe you and posters like you have been the ones driving people like Oeilepere and others away. They have prove themselves that they, somehow, are connected to inside information from the rockets - I believe that is why you lost your name for a while. This BBS is for us FANS to talk freely about rumors, insides, and stats. Please stay away from the rumors and insides, and stick to your stats, numbers, and plays. That is the only thing that you are worth to read.
Jeff - Thanks for acknowledging my response. I guess I didn't realize that ALL of your sources stipulate that you can never divulge who/where they are. As I said earlier, I do respect your opinion, along with Doc Rockets, and Oeilpere, and yes, even Heyp..... There are certainly times when I think the best thing two people can say is; "let agree to disagree about this until it's a moot point, or until one party changes their mind about the subject..." I look forward to reading your posts and those of some of the other true insiders... My stuff is mostly emotional opinion, and I will quickly admit that to anyone. However, I have been and remain a DIE HARD ROCKET FAN!!!! I got hooked in '86 before they even went to the Finals, and I've been hooked ever since. For now, I guess we should just trust in Rudy !! Thanks
