    Wasn't Francis referring to Griffin there? Nice context, Chad. I'm glad I don't pay for insider. Heck, doesn't insider mean you're in-the-know? Maybe they should call it outsider.

    Ok, I really need to work on my comedy skills:D .

    Raven's right...Even Chad Ford's terrible writing fails to hide the fact that the Rockets will be pathetically mediocre this upcoming season...

    fegwu, agreed.

    But what do you have against Dr. Jack Ramsey? I think he's pretty good, sometimes, but maybe I'm just old.

    SOMETIMES is correct. I remember him dissing Yao Ming and the Rockets...well not really dissing...but thinking someone or another team was better than us. Blind statements...I don't remember what he specifically said...

    Anyways. You think Chad Ford would actually reply to you?!? Well what did you say to him?

    So for those of us that don't wear panties, this doesn't apply, right?

    Go to Inside the Huddle on rockets.com.
    It says Mo is 80 percent ready and he is expected to be back by the opening game of the season. Pike is also getting better although it's not sure how long it's going to take and we know that Mobley is slowly getting back into shape.

    They put that crap in the NBA Insider. And they want people to pay for that junk....ugh..

    Many teams have many problems, they just get magnified by the fans and taken way out of context by the press.

    We have a few bumps in the road, but it isn't like we are the Jail Blazers or anything. JVG will have this team where he wants it at the end of the year..the playoffs.

    Chad Ford is obviously full of crap and has some vendetta against JVG. I think that we are all smarter than that. Rockets will be fine this year as long as we have SF, YM and a slew of role players, we should be playoff bound.

    Everything you said is true. I only wish it were not.It is refreshing to see somebody on this post with a dose of reality.

    I've already emailed him... no response yet. I doubt he has the courage to admit this piece of literature was just that.... A PIECE!

    That Chad Ford crap had to be the stupidest thing I ever read. Wher did this ESPN fool come from?

    Things are not as bad as he is making them out to be and Van Gundy is not losing any sleep over Eddie Griffin's problems eventhough he is very important to the team.

    He is concerned with getting the majority of his rotation back to health...

    How in the world did he gett to be an analyst? He really thinks Maurice is out for the season, mmmmmm that was last year Chad!

    And last year should have been the last year he ever wrote a column :mad:

    Let the true Rocket fans do all the negative comments and all you outsiderz can go root for the Cavs.!!!:rolleyes:
