    Man, man!!! HOW COME I WAS BANNED FOR THIS??? I WAS STARING WITH MY EYES BALLS DANGLING AT ALL THESE STUPID REPLIES TO MY HONORABLE THREAD AND I COULDN'T EVEN READ THE THREAD WITHOUT HAVING TO BE LOGG OUT
    WHY THE @#$@ WAS I BANNED and all these stupid reply ppl are not?!

    okay, so I was right. We want the 3rd seed!!! see what I told you ppl? We need the 3rd seed so we don't play the Lakers...now what? do we have to play the lakers in the second round???, (IF we even make it that far) yes?????? no???
    yes????? back to yes?????? no?

    if the rockets just listened to my advice and went to get the 3rd seed, we'd be playing the sorry a$$ hornets in the first round...one man team chris paul cannot do anything against us but accompany aaron brooks in running around like headless chickens...tyson chandler is only back to be posterised by yao ming and mutombo so he can be hated by the hurricane blasted bee fans so they can trade him in the offseason with awesome excuse.

    so lakers in second round? yes. because here is why.

    159. Greg Oden
    A Human Foul Machine the likes of which we haven't seen in nearly two decades. He's averaging 21.6 minutes and 4.0 fouls, which prorates to 8.8 fouls per 48 minutes. (I'm almost positive nine fouls gets you disqualified from any NBA game.) I asked Jeff Bennett's ESPN research crew to find the last player who averaged 20-plus minutes and topped that 8.9 number. The answer? Stanley Roberts with 9.5 in 1992. Wait, it gets worse. Here are Oden's rookie comps compared to Roberts' rookie season in '92:

    Oden: 21.3 mpg, 8.7 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 1.1 bpg, 56.3 FG percent, 63.3 FT percent
    Roberts: 20.3 mpg, 10.4 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 1.5 bpg, 52.8 FG percent, 51.5 FT percent

    (Chilling when you remember that Roberts' nickname was "Fat Stanley." How long do we have to keep pretending Portland didn't massively and totally screw up the 2007 draft? I feel like we're trapped in a bad marriage where we have to pretend everything's good for the sake of the kids. Again, STANLEY ROBERTS!!!!)

    OBESE ODEN?????

    kevin prichard prichslapped himself...

    portland, go home! why won't you go home?!! its your home! the lottery is your home!

    If you don't watch it, you're going to be banned again. You're already lucky you weren't knocked down to Rookie. Just let this thread die.

    Dude I don't think you're understanding this
    BOTH 3rd AND 2nd seed are on the opposite side of the laker's bracket
    If we had gotten 2nd, WE WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE LAKERS TOO

    w22, just let it go man. This thread will come to nothing but negativeness for you. If you want to stay by what you said, that's fine, but don't insult people in the process (that's what will get you banned). Also showing up the mods/Clutch who may have banned you won't do any good either.

    so you call the all-important postseason NBA playoffs and matchups that are better nothing???

    maybe thats why no one has helped you yet.............

    and why would a contributing member whos got half a brain create a thread in the "GAMES ACTION ROSTER MOVES" about his account??!

    Okay. I don't think Stern will let us get past the Lakers...

    I just can't see no matter how hard a team tries that Dictator Stern will let any team other than the Cavs beat the Lakers...

    In these economic times...OMG RON ARTEST VS LEBRON JAMES??? CHUCK HAYES VS BEN WALLACE??? MATCHUP OF THE YEAR???

    if only the Rockets listened to my honest advice and go the 3rd seed

    Damn, they should have listened... they probably only lost in Dallas because they didn't log on to read your message in time!

    You're a genius dude. You knew the answer, but the whole Rockets organization didn't. They purposely lost to Dallas. On top of that they told the Spurs and Blazers to win. And they did all this to get the fifth seed. What were they thinking!

    wtf r u on about dude.Can I tell the Thunder to win against the Celtics and they will win for me???..ok ok I know I am a genius already. Too bad I'm not GM. I use stats to rate GM's...and Morey has come out statistically well. But he needs to draft me for his backup!

    yao ming goes to portland
    Aaron Brooks: "They don't like tourists in here, so try to blend in."
    Yao Ming: "What do you mean blend in? I'm two feet taller than everybody in here."

    You do know that based on the outcomes of the other games, the Rockets could only have been 2nd or 5th, right?

    did we know that before? no! there are still plenty of scenarios where we could end up 3rd seed okayyy?

    3rd seed is still the best!

    man how can we b 5th seed...I wanted us to get the 3rd seed all along...

    the other thing is now the kings get a higher pick! we should have been the 3rd seed!

    Point is that we couldn't have gotten 3rd even if we had wanted to. It was out of our control, a fact you don't seem to be able to grasp.

    hahahhahaha.

    not.

    what 5th seat??? do u rank all da seats in your house or something??? dude I'm not saying which number bench seat aaron brooks should be designated to warm up every game ok??????? got it????

    oh heyyyyy mr tsunami salami...so my lil rook is back for another round of beating???

    can we just get my point:

    so we get 3rd seed right? and then THE MATCHUPS ARE BETTER!!! right now we have to go play on road, where we suck worse than the j*zz......the 5th seed was never what I thought we'd become. The Hornets suck and we could handle them so much easier!!!
