    Tmac - Yao

    Those are pretty good players, right?

    And yes...Hakeem was amazing......on both ends of the floor.

    Well, if you re-read the thread, you are the one constantly making personal attacks on this thread, calling people idiots, and now this. So, for the record, you are the one that has a personal problem here. I simply pointed out that I don't think it is proper to keep calling people idiots.

    No, it's not. You called bplld and several others idiots. Who cares if you now claim to like DaDakota. That is not relevant. You keep making personal attacks to make your point, and I am calling you out on it. If you don't like it and find it annoying, tough luck.

    Deal with it.

    Being a premier defensive team is better than a premier offensive team.

    But it doesnt mean it will bring you the championship automatically.

    Actually we were the one of the best defensive team last season even without a healthy team.(opponent 42.3% FG, 91.0 PPG)

    They are good but they are not both playing. Same story last season. How is this JVG's fault ? Oh yea...its because he is over-playing his players, making them more fatigued and injury prone.

    Did they teach you these "comebacks" in elementary school?

    Well, I certainly can't hang with you where that's concerned. Here's an idea! Get me banned. Then you can sport a new sig pointing to the thread where it happened for a year. I know that's what makes you live and I'd be all too pleased to be a part of making your dream come true. Det. "The threat."

    Or you could just mind your business. Either one will do.

    This coming from a guy who just started a thread calling others idiots because they expressed their opinions on basketball. Sounds like minding your business to me. Right. :rolleyes:

    Look, I understand the point you were trying to make, and I actually agreed that asking for the coach to be replaced at this point is silly. You will just have to live with it that if you try to underscore your point by calling others idiots, someone will tell you it's wrong. The funny part is how you think you have the right to call others names like idiot, stalker, dumb, etc., but when someone criticizes you for it, you are incredibly thin-skinned.

    I don't really want to get off topic, but SJC, why are you calling Batman Jones on it but not others? For example, this gem - http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=2708422&postcount=269

    It's a reaction to the constant "Jeff Van Dummy" and "Jeff Van r****d" chides of some posters on this board - if they're calling the coach of a basketball team (one who turned down an Ivy League education to play basketball) hovering 10 wins over .500 an idiot, are they not fair game?

    I been stalked on these boards by you before, Jack. It's boring. You take up a cause against a poster then you chase them around. I'm here because I like the Rockets and because my girlfriend goes to sleep early. I don't care enough about the local politics to go back and forth with a dork like you.

    And as NIKE just pointed out, colorful language abounds here. If a hall monitor's in order, I'm sure Clutch or one of his boys is up to the task. You = Eddie Haskell. There are cops here if they're needed. You can stand down.

    Well, the example you quoted is wrong, too. I guess it is one thing making a knee-jerk post and another thing starting a whole thread calling people idiots and then reveling in the applause one gets for it, so that stands out more. Nobody appointed me as the post police and I am not going to comment on every post that is out of line, but when someone starts a thread calling people idiots and then keeps going on and on with the same schtick, he should be able to take it when someone says that he thinks it's wrong.

    Maybe. As I said, I do understand the point he was trying to make, and to an extent, I agree with it. It is silly to call for the coach's head after every loss, and it is obviously irrational to call JVG an idiot.

    Inevitably, there will be losses during an NBA season, and I think this season has been a good one so far (even though we just lost three in a row).

    But I think that knee-jerk reactions to losses and calling players or coaches, who are public figures, idiots, is sort of a fan's privilege. Constantly calling other fans idiots is not. Example: You are in Toyota Center. You are mad. You boo JVG and call him an idiot. You're a fan, you can do it. Can you keep calling the fan next to you an idiot? No.

    You are thinking too highly of yourself. You are not important enough to be stalked. If you think criticizing you for not stopping to call people idiots is "stalking", tough luck. You put this thread out here, so you will have to live with it that I respond to it as long as it is open.

    That post seemed like a threat and it scared me. It made me feel like this:

    :eek:

    And when you said I wasn't important enough to be stalked, even by a stalker like you, well Jacki, that just hurt my feelings. It made me feel like this:

    :(

    And now I'm about to go to sleep, but I can't cause I feel like this:

    :eek: :( :eek: :(

    your mean.

    so, unlike Batman Jones...I don't have a girl friend who goes to sleep early or late to give me an excuse to post here.

    But like Batman Jones...JVG is the ****.

    but like SJC says...i'm not so hot on the "your an idiot" posts like I used to be.

    but like Batman Jones says...SJC is a stalker when you get a rep for bashing people.

    all I know is I'm smitten. I'm smitten with JVG and this team....and another.

    with that....I could freaking care less what people say about JVG. to me...he is the best coach on the planet for this team. does that make him COY...I don't know. But I love JVG....he is the best!!!

    now I will also add some wee bit of negativity....DaDakota wants to be the coach....don't listen to him. It is like listening to a newbie politician trying to win your vote. He is all over the map...it's just silly.

    Looks like SJC is beating the crap out of Batman Jones.

    I don't want to be the coach, I want a coach who is going to be able to take this talented team to where it needs to be...

    JVG - he ain't it.

    And I find it so ironic that you are criticizing me, when you were the KING of posting plays and cricizing other coaches.

    Pot - Kettle - Black.

    I am glad you guys like the team and the type of game the Rockets play, I like the wins, but personally think the team is underachieving.

    I also agree with SJC...Batman posted the personal dribble he needs to be tough enough to take it as he is dishing it out.

    The Poster McGrady? He just likes to pile on....and is as soft a poster as the real McGrady is on the basketball court....CHARMIN soft !!
