    Another post based on ONE small comment in one thread. However, if you look at all the evidence AND ME BETTING WITH SAM AFTER HE WAS TRADED...you would see that I still believed in Boki and thought that he never got a fair shake in Houston.

    And Vic....we weren't going to win the championship with David Wesley....not gonna happen.....so why trade away good players that can help you actually get there?

    Now, that being said, I had no problem with JJ for Wesley, which was precisly my point for approving of the trade.

    Really, you guys need to read more than just one thread....my views are 100% consistent.

    DaDakota, you were all over the map and all but conceded losing the bet before you managed to come back and win it. You've also said you were wrong on Nachbar before on other occasions I think, though you posted so much on him it's hard to dig it out!

    It's easy to point back and say you believed in something or didn't believe in something when you both believed and didn't believe at some point in time. Your comment that "Boki failed" is proof of it. You didn't say the Rockets failed Boki at that point - you said "Boki failed". Sorry. Pick one side and try to stick with it.

    Ok, so you approved the trade then, but think it was bad now because Boki has improved to being a solid bench player (apparently)? What is your basis for asking "I wonder how David Wesley is doing these days?" Make up your mind.

    Yes, I'm sure that's what you say now, but back then you approved the trade and commended JVG and CD on "getting rid of what wasn't working and getting pieces that do work". Those were your words archived. You said nothing about it being a bad trade did you? No, you commended them. Before you change your beliefs, understand hindsight makes geniuses of us all. :)

    Oh, I've read multiple threads and posts from you. They're a rollercoaster ride of emotions driving the board batty trying to keep up. They're usually conclusions made on the spur of the moment and as kneejerk reaction to current events with the Rockets. Very little of it looks at the big picture - just what happened the night before. You like something one day, you hate it the next day. One year later you either let everyone know that you picked the argument that "worked" or ignore the side that didn't. Maybe you really don't notice this, and that's damn scary in itself.

    To steal from a cliche : The ony thing consistent about your views is they're 100% inconsistent. The act is slowly becoming a buffoonery.

    So go ahead and pat yourself on the back for Boki (still a work in progress), but don't be surprised when there are people now willing to do the work to expose that you are not the Nostradamus or Jerry West of the board despite your own beliefs. ;)

    I have been a Boki supporter since day one, nothing EVER changed, I said he failed as a Rocket, yes, because he NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO PLAY and get comfortable......sound familiar?

    This is not a black and white argument there are many shades of gray, and you know that.


    I did like the JJ for Wesley trade....I HATED Boki being in the trade....again..shades of gray......I would NOT have done the trade if it included Boki...comprende?

    Whatever, if you can't understand simple text on a BBS, I can't help you. I LIKED THE TRADE for just JJ.

    Speak in generalities much? Of course my opinion changes when the data changes. IE...Bonzi...I thought he would be a good fit, I was wrong, therefore I changed my opinion based upon the emprical evidence, and then open a thread to discuss whether or not Bonzi fits, what is wrong with that?


    As is your not understanding things are not black and white but shades of gray.

    I don't mind people disagreeing with me, that is what fandom is about, I do mind when people chase around threads just to pick a fight with me.

    Not saying that is what you do, because you clearly don't, we just disagree...fine...I can respect that.

    But people like ArBpro, and VicVictory, and Sam Fisher come into threads just to bash the messenger....and that is weak.

    One thing that is not being brought up is that if Boki was still on the Rockets today he wouldn't be the same player.

    I doubt it. Boki got a chance to grow on a bad-mediocre team. It wouldn't have happen here.

    But Manu and Parker got chances to grow on a good team, it can happen, but you are right we are both just guessing.

    :D

    See - now THERE is a time I was wrong. I thought Rafer would bring creativity and 3pt shooting.

    While his 3pt shooting is ok, he has dialed down the creativity to be just another scrub bringing the ball up the court.

    That is a case of me being wrong...no doubt about it.

    By the way, Sam just proved my point about coming into threads just to pick a fight.....

    DD, don't worry. That betting thread between you and Samfisher already explained everything. And it happened long before Boki's breaking out.

    Boki already proves he can be a very solid player in this league. And you have every right to say "I told you so".

    PS I've been in this thread forever.

    Doesn't change the point, you come in and post something about Rafer just to pick a fight....it is your MO.

    No, the fight was already going on. I brought it up as a case-in-point regarding topics already raised. Anyway you're the one who's spent the last week saying "SEEE I WAS RIGHT ABOUT BOKI THEREFORE V-SPAN MUST PLAY".

    If you want to cite your track record be prepared for the good and the bad.

    All I know is SamFisher is getting mad pwned by Boki/DaDakota these days.
