I like that anyone can have a point of view on these two and that is great. I don't like the fact that everyone has to agree with someone else's point of view to be considered a true fan. Everyone here is a fan and fanatic of the Rockets!!
Let's see your argument. Inside the NBA has won several Emmys, so Barkley (Among Johnson, Smith and sometimes joined by either Magic Johnson or Reggie Miller) is the best color analyst, and so every of his comments is very likely to be objective and correct. Let me show my understanding instead: The chemistry of and interesting comments by Johnson, Smith and Barkley togther have led some to believe that Inside the NBA is the best studio program on television, and this program won serveral Emmys. Considerable eyeballs are drawn by Barkley's brashness.
Your stuff doesn't unite fans, but divide us. I don't see any fundamental difference btw you and YOF or TOF in terms of delusion.
dude i'm voltron here. there's no delusions, only facts. no one has posted a fact that charles or kenny said they 'hate' the rockets. they talk about other teams more than the rockets yes. doesnt mean they hate them. Educating the misinformed is my mission. If I can change one Kenny or one Charles hater into a Kenny or Charles fan, then my mission is done. I helped someone. Like Sally Struthers.
Speaking of Voltron, I just found out they're going to make a movie on it and is supposebly set to release in 2008.
I don't think you really answered my question. My question was, Does Kenny Smith have carte blanche with you to trash your current Rockets squad? In other words, is there anything he could say to which you would take offense? It doesn't seem to me like there is.
yes, mon ami, if kenny went stephen a smith about the Rockets (just trashing the Rockets like Stephen A Smith trashes teams.. example: Detroit vs Lakers (larry brown championship) "they have no chance against Kobe and Shaq") i would be il fait froid about it. but kenny explains himself. unlike stephen a smith who just yells and says nothing about his reasoning.
TNT needs to have coaches or players who actually have a ring to be the commentators. Like Bill Walton, even he says loads of crap you can't blame him. When Kenny Smith a nobody and Barkley a fat loser criticising players and talking about how to win a championship it's pretty ridiculous.
I should've said earn a ring. I'll cut Kenny Smith some lack. He's only the most annoying when he trys to kiss Barkley's ass. Something like "..... great players like you two, magic and charles" ur... no. There is a big difference between the two.
I wanted to choose None of the above but I realized there was no such choice so I go with ... e) Tinman cries and whines too much, he must be a girl.
hahah are you a COF? wow never seen someone like chuck cause of the fts LOL. but honestly tho, chuck never really contributed to clutch city. if you are saying that we should not hate him cause he put houston on national tv, then put that in your poll... but not clutch city man!!!
Kenny defends us all the time! His analysis is still bad (how many time do they have to say the word "SWAGGER" on TNT?), but hes a rockets supporter. you gotta take it with a grain of salt.. theyre there to be entertaining, not informative. ie. Bill Walton is informative (sometimes, but also repetitive), but hes extremely boring. Chuck is SUPER entertaining, but he needs to show some more love (non bandwagon love) for the rockets. EJ is the man btw. ahah

I never have a problem understanding Charles. Further, not many people, probably including contemporary Britians, speak proper English. Besides, I rather he someone with opinions and a sense of humar in poor English than a bland or self-rightous announcer/commentator that so fill the airways. There is your problem right there. Of course he isn't objective. He is brash and oppinionated, he is the color commentor (no pun intended). He also doesn't take himself too seriously--this is a good human trait. Not like he is the only one of his era--Malone, Stockton, Ewing, Miller, etc. Many other greats only got them on the backs of other stars late in their career--Dr. J, DR, Drexler. Barkley has said he has a blessed, wonderfull life, and has quite a bit of perspective on his career/life and coming up just short of the title. See above on Chuck. As for Kenny, Clutchfans doesn't exist without him. We needed every one of his key buckets in 94 & 95 or the Knicks, Magic, or Barkley's Suns would have had those big parties.
This is what you KENNY and CHARLES haters did.. you JINXED this game! Thanks! Hating on Rocket greats brings bad karma. Trying hating on Karl Malone or Byron Russell or David Benoit Blame yourself haters!
