    Doesn't shoot well enough from outside to play PF for the Rockets.

    Audis are foreign, though, so maybe Nellie would be interested. He'd definitely be intrigued by the matchup problems it would create. [​IMG]

    Guys, don't worry about what Achebe says about posting in the wrong forums. He's a hypocrite. Check out his post from last Friday ( http://bbs.clutchplays.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/008154.html ) where he wrote this of Maurice Taylor (of the Clippers) and his possible role with the Sonics:


    Maybe their promise to play him at the #3 was a good selling point. Noone expects a SF to have exceptional rebounding numbers... (they expect them to be larger than the 2 that he'll get now, but that's besides the point).


    Sounds like a good candidate for the NBA Dish Forum to me, but it's really not my job to say.

    well dang, I didnt know that I was gonna start a fight because it was in the "wrong forum". It was simply brought in to inform those that wanted Fortson to be in a Rockets uniform next year, and that is all. My bad, damm you guys are anal.

    Shouldn't this all be in hangout or feedback? I mean, we are discussing which posts are in the correct forum, and hypocrites, and wonderful things like that.

    I suggest we make 2 copies of this thread. One can go into the NBA Dish, and the other to feedback. [​IMG]

    The difference between the Mo Taylor topic and Fortson, is Fortson was never said, rumored, or what not to ever be putting on a Rockets jersey. If this topic was about available power forwards, because Kenny Thomas Should Not Be Starting, that'd be different. Mo Taylor on the other hand has Houston on his guest list of 2.

    woohoo! It's been too long since we've had a fight here [​IMG].

    BTW, Audi's are nice, but I'd rather have a different car for the same money...

    oh, and the Clinton speech was excellent.

    And... oh, yes... isn't this post in the wrong forum!?!?

    How come no one argues over the other posts here like the one about the nicknames of Cat, Bull and Pig? Or how bout the one that quotes Scoop..the one titled Some Funny S%%5? Now what the hell do those two topics have to do with anything?

    You guys are all getting too serious here!!!!

    Oh, by the way:

    Paging all units, all serious police units to the "arena deal" thread immediately! Perpetrator known as #1rocketsfan showing blatant disregard for the law, misplacing threads! Need backup immediately.

    Craziness man....weird wacky stuff.

    Achebe,

    So, as long as a portion of your message contains a mention of the Rockets, the rest can be about other teams/players. I missed that section of the manual.

    Would you prefer I searched through older posts (pre-Friday) for better examples of your hypocrisy, or can you just go ahead and admit it?

    I'm sorry to have singled you out, Achebe, but I didn't know where to begin on CriscoKidd - way too many non-Rocket related posts.

    Don't you guys have an Internal Affairs Division of the Serious Police? If you're going to point out others people's "violations", be prepared to have yours pointed out as well. Each and every time. It will get old. It won't be fun.

    Pathetic.

    NIKEstrad,

    You're serious? If I wasn't [cough] working [cough], I'd be LMAO. You really expect people to make that subtle of a distinction?

    HOOP-T

    You're right. If I don't watch out, I'm going to have both the Serious and Fun Police after me. [​IMG]

    BTW, I apologize to Achebe for name calling, to anyone else I might have personally offended, and to everyone else who wasted time reading through this garbage. My bad.

    tb...

    no offense taken. [​IMG]

    I like derailing posts with dribble. Usually the posts though, started in the right forum with questions to evoke conversation concerning that forum. This post was not intended for Rockets related stuff. There are a billion other posts doing the same thing, but they're either politically motivated (cbrown) or whatever.

    The criteria isn't subjective. Most readers can determine whether or not a thread is in the right forum. I'm not trying to take Mango's job... but I also like this place to be free from the espn style posting.

    It was more in humor, but in all seriousness, it's not as difficult and complicated as it sounds. One has to do with something that has not had a chance, or any substance to it that it's going down (similar in fashion as to a post saying Shaq recently signed a contract extension with the Lakers) while the other deals with a subject that relates to the Rockets, as in a player who has the Rockets on his final 2 list, and has a very realistic chance of coming here. This could have even had a case made for it if it was some dreamcasting scenario to get Fortson.

    Basically, what would be the point of an NBA forum if all the signings and/or trades were posted here "Player Z just signed with the Mavericks. Now the Rockets can't get him"?

    The "policing" is done in jest. You're taking the Serious Police way too seriously. Would you like to join? [​IMG]

    Does anybody think that Tracy Murray will be traded from the Wizards this summer?

    (Let's see the serious police fight that one!)

    Dang, it's been slow in here lately.......

    Ummm... you know, I actually appreciate the Serious Police. I've been on other boards that completely self-destructed due to trolls, idiotic posting, etc. While I think the way this board is handled by the admins has alot to do with the success of clutchcity, I do think that mango and company do benefit the site by their presence. We don't want things to get out of control.

    Seriously, Nikestrad, are you saying that the serious police are not that serious? That is a serious allegation that could bring about serious consequences and repercussions.

    Shirley, you can't be serious?!?

    I mean, surely you can't be serious?!!?

    hey Tee Bee,

    I have not made hardly any non-Rocket related threads.

    This thread is obviously in the wrong forum.

    Someone pointed it out.

    Now you are the one being anal about it.

    ------------------
    I am so exasperated that I could expectorate.
