My Hatred for Kobe goes beyond any loyalty to rudy. plus steve and cat were my favorite players, so this is an easy choice for me GO MAGIC
Rudy. I was about to cry when I saw him on the lakers bench. I almost starting rooting for Kobe, just so Rudy can prove that the Rockets were stupid to let him go. Rudy was and always will be a rocket and a better coach and JVG.
Its like the Luke Skywalker delema, we can't hate Vader cause he's our father. But he plays for the Empire (Lakers). Tierre Brown is on the Lakers
I have nothing against the Magic, but I can't stand the Lakers. It hurts worse to see Rudy in LA than it does Steve, Cat, and Cato in Orlando.
I just hope the ROCKETS can kick both teams up and down the court. My alliance is with the HOUSTON ROCKETS!!!
Francis is becoming one of my most hated players, so the Lakers for this one, Rudy is still one of my favorites.
It should be Magic. Why? Because Rudy will not dress in Lakers Uniform and play against us! Of Course I love Rudy T very much!
Lakers game is going to hurt more just for the fake everyone already hated the lakers and now our great coach has left us to coach there.
Funny to hear all the sentiment about Rudy now when most people on this board were calling for Rudy to be replaced when it happened.
OK. I agree that he will always be a rocket. Some may say he is a better coach and some may not. But to claim that Rudy is a better JVG is just plain wrong.
I feel for Rudy, he has to coach some guy who rapes young women and tells the police, well the center of the team pays women off. at least back in Houston he coached a guy who never blamed Hakeem for the b****es he slapped.
Even though Rudy might have not been able to coach the team any longer that doesn' mean we didn't want him to stay with the organization. I wish he stayed in the Rockets Organization as a member of the front office instead of coaching. That is what is kind of hard to see. The fact that he is coaching again for another team. Just cuase we replaced him doesn't mean he couldn't have stayed with us.
