Does not drafting Clyde Drexler and settling for Rodney McCray still bother you?

spoken like a 12 year old

 

To not get Olajuwon, all the Rockets needed to do was win one more game.

Who's the Olajuwon analogue in you analogy? Aaron Brooks?

 

Slavery in the 1800s? What about equal education in the 50s and 60s? The elderly blacks alive now, didn't have the benefit of a good college education, because of segregation. They will not have an estate to pass on to their children. The children of that generation are stuck in the middle, while trying to support their parents, while saving up for their kids college to end the cycle of poverty. Like somebody mentioned earlier, it's like dragging a 2000lb weight in a race.

 

No, it is the point of the thread.

You started a thread now I am discussing the implications of your alternative scenario. THey are not very plausible.

If you just wanted us to be amused by your thread title you should request that your thread be locked.

or if you just wanted to make a point about another thread, perhaps you could take the novel step of posting in that thread.

 

Wow maybe you should start a thread with that incredible insight. Yes, I'm sure people on a basketball BBS starting a thread about Rudy Gay are impeding the progress of the Houston Rockets basketball team from moving forward. Now I see why you value your own contributions to the Rockets forum so highly.

 

And you're wondering why nobody will give you $6 million.

 

Certain things happen for a reason. If we draft Clyde, our history doesn't end up like how it is now. We don't win back to back titles and we don't end up getting Yao or T-Mac. Of course, history could have changed for the better and we could have ended up with like 7 titles or whatever. But you change one thing and every else changes with it. At the end, did it not work out great anyways? Clyde comes back home and wins his first with Dream.

 

Would the spurs have still won with Battier? Battier isn't as good as Bowen.

 

Your thread is stupid, just admit it. Slavery, the same as taking Rodney McCray instead of Clyde... it's all history... bahahah.

BTW, Rodney McCray was considered a much better player out of college than Clyde and that's why he was drafted much higher than Clyde. McCray was a hell of a player at Louisville. There was nothing wrong with drafting him.

 

NO, it doesnt bother me...There is even a scenerio that we get jordan drexler and the dream. But that doesnt bother me either. What bothers me is that I dont get the same feeling I used to get with the Rockets in the 90's. I love Yao, tracy, deke, battier, scola, landry and yes even rafer but I cant take losing in the first round anymore.

 

If only the NBA GMs voted for the all-defensive team, we would know. We do know that the NBA coaches favor Bowen over Battier.

2008 all-defensive 1st team
Bowen 13-1st pl votes 10-2nd pl votes

2008 all-defensive 2nd team
Battier 9-1st pl votes 11-2nd pl votes

The coaches got it right.

 

Somebody please quote this post for me, although DD will probably click on it anyway.

Let's just establish what happened:

1. You started a "PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME BECAUSE I'M SO SMART AND CAME UP WITH A FUNNY ANALOGY THAT NEEDS ITS OWN THREAD" thread, because you didn't like another thread.

2. People paid you attention. People not only questioned your premise but also your assumption that what happens on a Rockets BBS parallels that of Rockets' Management.

3. Since people didn't agree with you, you brought the dreaded "Ignore List" threat out, basically nuclear warfare in internet terms, complete with a effeminate little smiley. What's next, are you going to pass notes about me in class? Not invite me to your tea party?

My only conclusion from the fact pattern: A b**** is you. And no ignore list will make that go away.
