Jesus Christ, some of you people are real morons about this whole topic. Was it a little silly to make a topic about who is more important to our team, landry or scola, and preface it with "ITS DECIDED BY PRIMIERE STERN THAT THE ROCKETS CAN ONLY PLAY EITHER SCOLA OR LANDRY FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON, ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH FAN TO WIN A DEBATE IN ORDER FOR YOUR PLAYER TO BE SELECTED IT!?" or whatever the hell it was? Yeah, sure it was... but the underlying premise was far from ridiculous. Frivilous and unnecessarily time consuming maybe-but so is nearly everything here, to be a clutchfan is to write a 10 paragraph reply to something like "What do you think Deke's age is" but I digress. The old cliche is: if the topic is lame enough, why even promote its further recognition by replying with how some guy just trying to talk about sports is a douchebag? At the very least friends, why not save the anger and "worst thread ever" labels for topics that actually deserve them? I've been a member here for well over a year now and I have see hundreds of ridiculous topics, most of which were vastly worse than this one. But yeah, how dare a member with anything less than 1,000 posts suggest a topic in which we debate which player is a more valuable asset for the present and future! And god forbid if a member puts up unusual parameters to help frame the debate and drive would be debaters towards the underlying question at hand! Lock this horrible topic and all future topics by this thread's founder, and make sure his kind don't come back around with their gay theoretical sports debate topics anymore! *sigh* Seriously, clutchfans... this place is a great place for Rockets fans, and I enjoy this BBS quite a bit, but I've long noticed a strong "knee-jerk" reaction trend on these boards and the reaction by several to this topic is further proof of that. Whether the knee jerk reaction is about T-Mac's injury history or, like this thread, in response to a goofy worded topic where people can't get past the unneccesary hypothetical in order to discuss the rather interesting question that is truly being asked... it just seems like a plurality of clutch posters would much rather jump to conclusions, become hostile, then suggest trading/banning whatever the cause of the reaction instead of, say, relaxing and being reasonable. Oh and, uh... Scola-both these guys are going places but I just think Scola has overall greater potential and is more effective for us now and, presumably, the next season. I hope my vote in this debate doesn't cause Carl Landry to get kicked out of the league for a year, but if that's the way its gotta be then that's the way its gotta be.
How about .... who would you rather be stranded on a deserted island with? Carl Landry or Luis Scola?
Agree. Two words came to mind when I clicked here: pile-on. Senseless piling-on. I don't understand it, if you don't like a thread why even respond? Oh, I get, the need to rationalize one existance by deeming others. I hope you guys are better in life than in digital.
Everything else that needed to be said already was...except no one mentioned how awesome that quote was. Oh ai_111, you lovable scamp. Don't stop posting...just keep observing, listening, and well, making better posts.
At the end? I notice threads don't just end with a conclusion these days. But anyway, they're both equally important. Scola is the smarter of the two, he can implement our offensive system, and he's only gonna get more aggressive. Landry is obviously the atheltic beast, spark off the bench. WE GOTTA HAVE BOTH!
this is a bull**** thread...the original poster should be banned for saying some dumb **** like this...gtfo
