    Well, in case some had forgotten, the Rockets still have some games left, and for those who care, we should be in for another interesting one this evening. You saw the passion that was generated from both the fans and the players of both teams the last time the Rockets played in Vancouver. The Rockets won in a nail-biter. So, does everyone want to show Vancouver who got the better end of the deal again, like me, or is it just a lose-at-all-costs mentality for most on this board? If your choice is the latter, will you even watch the game?

    I hope that (in this order):

    a) the Rockets win
    b) Cuttino lights up Dickerson
    c) Anderson lights up Dickerson
    d) KT lights up Othella
    e) Francis lights up Bibby

    Why do you wish ill towards Dickerson and Othella? They did nothing to the Rockets. Othella is the one bad-mouthing Vancouver.

    I hope this happens:



    1. Rockets win

    2. Francis goes off

    3. Cato keeps the flow from last game

    4. KT goes off

    5. O and Dickerson have solid games

    6. Everyone else plays how they have all season.

    I just hope that the people in Vancouver only throw soft mushy vegetables , as opposed to unripe hard ones or batteries and coins. Don't want any unnecessary injuries. [​IMG]

    rimbaud --

    I don't wish ill on them. I just want them to get outplayed by their counterparts on our team. What's wrong with that? I forgot to add Cato to my list. My only wish for him tonight is that he continue to play like a 7-footer, like the Atlanta game, rather than a 6-footer.

    After TheFreak proves correct, I look forward to the return of SHAKE YOUR HEAD to re-explain how they made the better trade.

    More than anything else, I'd like Cato to have another great game. As far as the 'rivalry' goes (how do you have a rivalry between two teams that suck so bad?), I hope the fans suddenly come to terms with the trade and reconcile themselves with Francis: give him an ovation at the beginning of the game and be glad that they got Dickerson and Harrington with a trade. I rather like the Grizzlies and I'd hate to have an animosity run between the two teams over the Francis fiasco.

    Sorry, it just seemed more negative than you meant. So, I agree. I really hope Cato plays well. Not stellar, but well...

    Juan,

    Let the rivalry begin, now. With hopes that in the future it leads to a full-fledged NBC-sponsored rivalry pitting the best of the West.

    After Utah and SA vanish into talent vacuums, we need someone like Vancouver to yell at. What I want is everyone to come to grips with the need to start cheering against Dickerson and Othella, out of fun fanaticism for the home team.

    Heypartner,
    Do you really think GIVE YOUR HEAD A SHAKE will return after the beating he/she took last time? Especially in light of the fact that Vancouver has done nothing but prove him/her wrong about his/her comments?

    Although I would love to see it, and partake in it as well.

    Cross your fingers.

    1. Wiz has a big game.
    2. KMart(real deal MartinField) watches game and sez, "wow, the wiz is for real" and refuses to suit up for any team other than the Rockets.
    3.Othella gives the team an Enema.
    4)Francis brakes Bibb's ankles
    five.Cato has a breakout game against the big country
    6-KT has another great gaame
    seven:Mobley gets 30 garbage points to boost up his ppg avg.
    eight(somebody finds Drew)
    NINETMASS walks out onto the court for a sanding O to play his last game as a GRizzRock
    TEN- it is actually a game worth watching.

    ------------------
    Is it any coincidence that the Wizard has a NBA team named after him? Or that that team is owned by evil incarnate Jordan?

    I don't think so ...

    and,

    d) Barkley takes the flight just to remind Othella and Carr they won't have a rookie PF to push around the last game of the season.


    (HOOP-T...I rather think SHAKE YOUR HEAD enjoyed it. He was a good sport.)

    I just wish for one thing: for the Rockets to kidnap Michael Dickerson and leave Cuttino Mobley in his place [​IMG].

    *ducks behind his desk in anticipation of heypartner throwing things at him*

    With Portland coming up, The HPD should be back. He was pretty rational and interesting on his Blazer takes.
