    Some idiot just called and asked a question about Jeff Bagwell. You get a chance to ask a Rocket Hall of Famer anything you want, and you're going to ask about Jeff Bagwell???? :rolleyes:

    Calvin just said Dirk choked in the playoffs! :D

    I can't catch it since I'm at work. Someone usually does, but just in case...could someone recap for me??

    Thanks!

    Dallas choked because they have no inside presence.

    I'll try, but I don't want to pad my post count, so I'm going to do it via EDIT. ;)

    -The draft is not as deep as it used to be because US players are good atheletes but can't really play

    -TMac has to stay healthy, but Yao still needs to be the #1 scoring option. Everything must go through Yao whether TMac is healthy or not.

    -No pity for the mavericks. It's their own fault they lost, Dirk choked!

    -Played in an exibition game with Dennis Rodman and he was playing out of his mind.

    -He's not wearing a purple suit, he's wearing an Astro shirt. He's not a bandwagon fan

    -Calvin was taught to play by his Mother, who used to play guard.

    -Each player should be responsible for his own motivation. No one player should be responsibile for motivating other players. Rockets should get players who motivate themselves on their own.

    -We shouldn't have traded MJ in the first place. He hopes we get him back. He was a player with passion and we don't have enough of those

    -Calvin confirms that he does indeed still look good. A pimp can't afford to dress like him. :D

    -Misses being on the broadcasts. Misses Bill Worrell because he "put color in his life" Broadcasting is harder than it seems, but Worrell taught him the ropes.

    -He would "very much" like to be back on the air. If the Rockets asked him back, he would hold no hard feelings and go back. Anything can happen.

    -Last year was hard for him, because he will always be a Rocket. He still broadcasts to his kids when he watches the games. He really misses it.

    -Told John Granato to stay off the drugs. He played pee-wee hockey, twirled batan, gold glove boxer, and baseball as a kid. His Mother put him in as many activities as possible.

    -2 callers called to say they want him back with Bill on the TV broadcasts. Granato ended the segement by saying the same thing.

    Man, I hope there is some way the Rockets can bring him back. I really miss him on the games.

    Yeah, you're running a little low on posts. If you don't get your number up, you'll lose credibility pretty quickly. :p

    Thanks for the recap! And I wish MANY more people did Edits in situations like this because it keeps me from having to scroll through a bunch of useless posts to get the info!!

    LOL! God I miss Murph...hope he's back with the Rockets in some capacity. His flamboyance and personality is much needed on Rockets telecasts. PLEASE get rid of Drexler.

    I asked Murph during the Draft Party if he's ever coming back and he said, "No. No, I don't think so." I was sorry I asked because he suddenly went from really happy to a little sad with that response. :(

    I love Calvin, and i don't care about all that other crap, which is none of anyone's business anyway.

    Bring him back. I don't think I can take another year of Drexler.

    That is sad.

    This is another one of Rocket management's continuing bungles. By re-hiring Calvin they could regain so much of the fan esteem they recently lost in that stupid trade. However, they apparently are too petty to consider it.
