    Hey, so now I can say "I know people who know people who know people" and my friends can say "I know people who know people who know people who know people" and their friends can say...

    :D

    But really though, here's a couple of links for y'all:
    www.nba.com/rockets
    www.clutchcity.net

    If it's not on there just yet, when it shows up just remember your boy dTown for giving you the scoop.

    Legendary BBS status, here I come!

    Whatever. :rolleyes: He obviously passed because the Rockets have said he will play on Wednesday. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to solve that mystery.

    Hey, you're don't have to be a Junior Member to get disrespected around here, all you have to do is have a mind of your own:D

    Even us dTown333's get no respect:mad:
    Edit: Hell, I even got banned once for giving everyone a scoop on how inebriated I was at the time!

    KEEP POSTING!!!!
    (so long as your posts oblige the group mentality)

    Look at it from our perspective. If a random person walked up to you on the street and told you that he heard Francis was traded to the Bulls for Jamal Crawford and other players, would you be automatically inclined to believe him without any proof?

    I sure as hell wouldn't. When you give us a reason to believe that you have inside sources, then you will get your respect.

    Inside sources or not I saw a report on the sports tonight (Ch2) saying basically the same thing. I don't have a link to that either. :)

    Clutch should change your nick to Rookie instead of Free Agent.

    The stats are from a pre=draft physical, he may still be a growing boy,,,If he is now 7ft 6,,you can add one inch to his wing span and another two inches to his standing reach.....But you have to get the feeling that mabe someone is possibly pushing the truth,,Stats> at ***********-Chicago pre=draft tryouts

    the way I understood it, Yao Ming is 7'5" in bare feet...add another inch for shoes..wha-la...you get 7'6".

    Free Agent, it takes time to earn respect around here...dont expect it just because you are here.

    Manute Bol was actually measured in his bare feet (7'7''). You have to think Bol was closer to 7'8'' or maybe even 7'9'' with shoes.

    If you think about Manute and Yao, for some odd reason, Manute would seem to have at least a couple of inches on Yao. Maybe that explains it.
