    What, no obligatory 80's pop culture reference? Stick to the formula that got you here, Bill.

    Bill Simmons' hates are all socially acceptable ones. Yankees, Colts, the Lakers, Duke, Yao Ming and Hakeem Olajuwon... Basically he's the biggest bandwagon jumper ever, and anyone who reads him for his opinions rather than his rants is as gullible as...well I'll save that for the BBS Hangout.

    When did he bad mouth Olajuwon...?

    I'm not sure if he has, or probably haven't heard it. But if he has, then someone should remind him that Dream was probably better than every single center and possibly player that ever donned a Celtics uniform.

    I don't understand why he would have any dislike for Olajuwon.

    lol see how yall can never get your facts straight. I read Simmons regularly(he's not a Rox hater) and he's always had nothing but praise for Olajuwon. He always mentions him destroying Robinson.

    The reality is, every city in America thinks every member of the media hates their team. They dont. Get over it. The same way someone will throw a shot at the Rockets, they'll do it to Utah, Golden State, LA and everyone else.

    Stop being so sensitive and expecting every person in the media to expect the Rockets to go 88-0(including the playoffs).

    Untrue. The media chooses sides. The media plays favorites. Especially sportswriters, b/c they're paid to have an opinion.

    They've been talking about this on 1560, Lance got in a good tirade. Go to Justin.tv, search 1560, then go to archives, and click on today and you can check back earlier in this hour.

    My thing about his predictions....is how in f**k are the Lakers and Hornets winning 10 more games than everyone else, both teams aren't exactly filled with iron men, either and they are in toughest conferences and divisions in the league.

    It's pretty hard to win so many games in confernce where 9 teams finished over or near 50 wins.

    More talented teams than last year....

    With Rockets, we're winning less games with better players... :confused:


    He's not credible, when it comes to basketball, probably football, too.
