ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 11/18/2005

Shutup you YOF

 

You're wrong. I'm a YTOF. (Yao, TMac only fan)

 

good point! no excuse any more, and no excuse lost to SPURS/Pistons.

I only saw a few ballmovement in the first half. In the second, especially the last 5 min, not at all. Piston is better team, mature! they gave the ball to R.Wallace and he beat SS badly.

YAO was contained by B. Wallace, he lost his cool.

 

I know you don't like YAO Ming. But I HAVE TO agree with you: that was the play for the game

 

Very true, but I must say I really enjoy reading y'all's posts.

I'm in Utah right now going to school so I don't get to watch any of the games. I watch 'em all through Gamecast on ESPN.com... tell you what, these guys are killing me! I was really excited about this season too.

Its just sad when you got other teams like the Wizards who had a what... 140 point game the other night and we can't seem to hit anything.

When's Bob Sura supposed to be back? Maybe he can help us get out of this rut... granted I don't watch the games but from the looks of things we absolutely suck right now.

 

This isn't about liking and not liking a player. I criticized Derek
Anderson and wanted him benched earlier in the game for not passing to Yao Ming during a play in the fourth. Does that mean I don't like Anderson? Yao Ming fans are freaks who are sensitive and want Yao to be liked by everybody and criticized by no one. they take offense when a houston rocket fan criticizes a play by Yao but don't take offense when that same fan criticizes other Rocket players in the same game thread. And they say things like 'leave Yao alone, he had a fine game' even when he had 9to's and got outhustled for crucial rebounds when it mattered most. Don't be a Yao Ming only fan freak and take offense when a fan of the team acts like a fan of the team and calls attention to the plays not made that determine the outcome of the game. YOF's are trying to take over the world.

 

From today's Houston Chronicle, http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/3471494:

Granted Yao was guarded last night by arguably the best defense in NBA, the nine turnovers by him can not be overlooked. Texas Stoke had legit reasons to gripe about it, so did I.

While Stoke does have a tendency to single out Yao for the inadequacies in his game, at the same time you guys have been piling on him excessively. Even as a YOF myself, I think the comments from some of you guys come as obnoxious and offensive. It's perfectly OK to make a little fun of one another, but you need to be careful not to cross the line, especially when you are not personally provoked.

 

It's not helpful to your argument, if you continue to throw the YOF label around. You can say whatever about the game, team, and players including Yao, or especially Yao, that's your right. But it's also other fans right to challenge your comments or critics, that's what a bbs is for. You can't force everyone to agree with you, and by labelling them as YOF is not helping your cause. Calm down and review the game thread, in almost every one of your post, you had to bring up YOF. Is it really necessary? I thought you said you were discussing the game, and the key rebounds or TOs yao had which affected the outcome of the game greatly, why YOF had to be mentioned in every post? Or you are actually arguing that YOFs caused the loss? It just doesn't make sense at all.

I thought the whole YOF thing is so old, beat dead over and over again. Obviously, it's just so fresh to you.

 

It is not necessary, but at the same time this is not YaoMing.COM

Most people on this board discuss Yao's shortcomings or do nothing but sing his praises. Are there any Houston Rockets Fans?

The only reason most people on this board (YOFs) would talk about Wesley or Alston would be to take a shot at them

No wonder Toyota Center is like a museum

 

Wow, how great that we have a true fan of Rockets (correct me if I am wrong, and I am 99.99% sure that I am wrong) here, not only accuse most people here on this very bbs as YOFs, but also blame them for Toyota Center is like a museum?

By the way, what did you do on the contrary? What did you talk about the Rockets team recently, except for TMac is the only Man, that's TMac's team only, and he's unstoppable. What else again? What a great Rockets fan, oh, wait, you never claimed that, my apology to misunderstand you!

 

That's not true. We also like to talk about trading Yao for Chris Mihm so he can finally unite forces with Kobe.

 

there is one way can make the peace here: TRADE YAO

 

Because Yao is an inconsistent Franchise player of Rockets?
I dont find a lot to discuss about Tmac. He's pretty much the sure thing.
Wesley? Swift? Sura? A few threads maybe.

By the way, when did you become a Houston Rockets fan?
Most of your posts were singing high praise for Tmac or putting down his
teammates, especially Yao.

 

Hey man, what don't you get. I'm a Houston Rocket fan just pointing out a play that I thought was the turning point in the game. The player involved was Yao Ming. If that bothers some of you, you are going to have to learn to deal with it. But don't tell posters to not point out gameplay in losses or wins that they thought were important points in the game because the player involved is Yao. If you do, you are what you are, a YOF.

 

Chill down. You're acting like a paranoid. You are better than that.

 

You can certainly point out any play involving any player you want to, including Yao. However, like I said, any other posters can have a different opinion, at least the majority who have different views didn't tell you not to point it out, but rather disagreed with your analysis, if there is any. I centainly didn't ask you to point out anything, but suggested that you are not helping anything by labelling everyone around YOF in every one of post. But hey man, if that makes you happy, then just enjoy. You can call me YOF all you want, I won't label you anything. But a Houston Rocket fan? Let's not go there. At least, that's not a team fan (in my book) does.

 

You will always have a special place in my heart for making me break out the dang'ol

 

You lable other people as YOF, then they naturely nail you as YOH. you don't care and of course others don't care either.
It's well-balanced world and now i do hope our team Offense is balanced!
And this is what we should care

 

I'm calling the kid who said this....


"You need to have a control on youself. Yao's having a good game. Get off his hair and grow up. Don't always behave like a kid. This is a grown-up world


Rafer played so timid and unconfident. Don't what's going on with him.

But, man, DA is the cancer. No defense, no shooting touch. Slow and soft. Ironically, We thought we got a steal."

...a YOF.

It is a common attitude shared by those who are YOF's first, then Houston Rocket fans second. I'm not saying you are. Truly, I don't want to talk about Yao Ming or his fan base. It's Yao Ming 24/7 around here as it is. Gameplay and player performance is what I really want to discuss. If its Yao Ming, who I think really needs to step up right now if the Rockets are going to win, is involved in a play that he didn't make in a crucial part of the game, I suggest you put me on ignore because you will take offense to what I have to say. But don't tell me to shut up or I will tell you why you are YOF for thinking the way you do.

 

Let's take your Ben Wallace play for example. If I were to simply say, "Yes Yao screwed up there, but I don't think that one play was the turning point and the reason why we lost," wouldn't you say that's a legitimate opinion? I've seen you label people YOF for holding an opinion like that.

I agree with you in the sense that people who think Yao can do no wrong and hate to admit he makes mistakes are most likely YOFs. You take it to a whole new level though. It has nothing to do with admitting whether Yao messes up or anything. If they hold a differing opinion from you about ANYTHING regarding Yao, you always automatically label them a YOF.
