the box score said he was at the game, but had no minutes played. i think he may get cut after camp is finnished.
You sure have a weird facination with Pet Mickeal. If you're going to stalk an NBA player, go after somebody significant like Kobe or Duncan... Pete Mickeal?
A Train:- The reason people are so interested in Mickeal, is that he might be our answer for the defence we need, at shooting guard.If he is good at defence I hope he makes the team!
Yeah, but this is the second Pete Mickeal thread this goober has started. Kinda creepy for a player that hasn't even achieved "scrub" status, dontcha think? If Mickeal gets waived, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to count the number of Rockets fans who give a rat's ass on one hand....heck, probably on one finger
I tell ya though A-Train, Just because someone has an interest on the development of a player doesn't mean they are a "stalker". You may be a senior poster, but you damn sure haven't developed any sensitivity to other fellow posters. The guy's not doing anything wrong and you want to jump all over him. This is not high school where you're the big bad senior picking on the new freshman. So I'd advise you cut it out.
oh, boo hoo hoo...you're breaking my heart... I wasn't jumping on him because he's a new member, I was jumping on him because he's a goober. It's OK, though. I'm sure once Mickeal gets sent packing to the NBDL, ole BUBSter won't be starting two threads about the same bench warmer in a 30 minute span anymore...
So, A-hole-train, when did you get annointed as Chief board nazi? Leave the patrolling to the mods...
Most of you newbies are jackasses like this guy, so you see nothing wrong with starting three threads asking the same stupid ass question. Stick around a while and get a clue how to act on this board. Maybe you'll be a smarter fan because of it.
It's one thing to INFORM the new guy that he shouldn't start multiple threads on the same topic. It's another to start calling the guy names b/c he asks about a player that A-hole Train doesn't care about. The same goes for your idiotic statement that "most newbies are jackasses." My, what great board etiquette you show. Did it ever occur to you many so-called "newbies" have been lurking here for a long time? Calling new posters goobers, jackasses, etc isn't going to help bring new blood to this site. Also, does your self-worth revolve around your cc.net post-count & your criticism of new posters. That's the way some of the "oldies" come across in these posts...
Htownhero:- For someone who describes HIMSELF as a "screw off" I dont think there is much of a margin for your statement!!!!!
Much of a margin for my statement? What the hell does that even mean? I'm glad you are reading this thread though Yetti, because you are most definitely one of the newbie jackasses I was referring to. This was thread number one about Mickeal for this guy....26 minutes later he started a second one saying the same thing but titled "HELLO OUT THERE"..... then after people telling him to chill on the multiple threads, he starts a third about the same freaking thing. THAT IS BEING A JACKASS! On this board, when you are a jackass you get called out, no ifs, ands or butts. So he gets called out and the newbie club comes running in to defend him...what a freaking joke.
So one guy doesn't read the rules & posts multiple threads and you call "most" newbies jackasses. Very logical. You also call Yetti a jackass. Nice. Well, seeing as how you're acting as if your post-count makes you high & mighty, I'm calling you out, you jackass. Because after all, in your own words, "on this board, when you are a jackass you get called out, no ifs, ands or butts." Man, a few of you guys w/ the high post-counts seem pretty bitter. Is it b/c you harbor secret dreams of becoming "Clutch Crew," yet after 5,000 mostly meaningless posts you have nothing but a deluded drug addict's quote to use as a signature line? Probably.
I'm interested to see how Mickeal plays in next week's preseason games. I highly doubt he will be cut before then, as RT is the type of coach that would've at least given him a chance to show something in last nite's game before doing so. I suspect we will keep one of either Mickeal or Torres as insurance in case Mobley goes down w/ an injury. I was high on Torres early on last season, but if his shot isn't falling then the rest of his game doesn't really help the team all that much. If Torres doesn't show the shooting touch this preseason AND Mickeal shows that he can D up 2 guards effectively, then I'd say there's a chance Mickeal might actually make the team (even if only on the IR).
I'd like to know about Pete Mickeal. I think he could help the team. I don't agree with people starting multiple threads asking about Mickeal, but really is it necessary to trash Mickeal and call him a scrub just because somebody wants to see what he's up to and if the Rockets have interest in him?
