Who is the wise guy that stormed the Rockets draft war room and somehow in hell sabotaged Rudy and Co., by persuading em to draft Jason Collier, who we still could of atttained with our 2nd pick. Well, whoever in the hell he is he needs to be held accountable and promptly dealt with. It's the lowest of lows, rock bottm, when the Nellies are laughing their asses off about your draft. Please whoever you are, come forward so you can be dealt with accordingly. ------------------
You guys are funny. I bet you were on Demarr JOhnson's nuts before the draft. What about Stromile Swift....he didn tplay spectacularly yesterday...thank god we didnt draft him. That is ridiculous...just plain ridiculous. You make me laugh...HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ------------------ When I die I want to go peacefully like my grandfather. Not screaming like the passengers in the back seat!
Wow, I thought we were finished with useless posts like this. There were about 47 of these the day after the draft, rivaling the 49 posts of "I Can't Believe Mobley is stupid and greedy enough to leave". Let's wait until a few games into the REAL season before we b**** again. ------------------ Going for the Rolls Royce! visit www.swirve.com
Guys what I think is really fun is how a coach like Don Nelson talking smack about our "weak" draft. I pretty sure he didn't even make the draft moves this past season, Mark Cuban name says it all. Lets look at who the Mavs picked Zhiang, Cato then traded for Chris Anstey. Oh, yeah great drafts, Uh... Even with the solid players of Etan Thomas, Courtney Alexander and Eduardo Najera, they still aren't better than Houston at least not now. So Don Nelson needs not talk about good drafts because he hasn't had one since being a Maverick, Mark Cuban has this past draft(Don Nelson is just the head coach/chump). Why do you think Cuban signed all those asst. coaches, because Don Nelson is done, nothing left in the tank. I still wonder why we traded Pryzbilla so quickly but there must be a reason for it, not sure what though. I hope Tuesday these guys can give a better showing(Collier and Langhi). I know I'll be watching. ------------------
to, not too. I want my tickets. Dogs eat rolls. ------------------ I am so exasperated that I could expectorate.
The fact that Nellie thought Collier was a 2nd round pick makes me feel better actually. In his opinion, any player that isn't foreign is a 2nd rounder. This guy is a COMPLETE idiot, so don't take into account anything that he says. You've never seen Collier play an NBA game. And I doubt you've done anything but read some scouting reports that basically are dead wrong. So why not shut your mouth until the season starts and you see them play? ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
Do you know Don Nelson in real life? I'm guessing not, and I'm guessing your opinion of him is based on what you read and see on TV. Have you done extensive research on the personality of Don Nelson? So how come you can call Don Nelson and idiot, and we can't call Collier a sorry basketball player? ------------------ I will demonstrate my clutchness this November.

Don't worry stink, it's just the cat. he's known around these parts as the one who'll call you ignorant if he doesn't agree with you, he'll tell you your opinions are wrong, and so on. tips of the cat: 1. don't read the scouting reports. 2. do not disagree with me or your are ignorant. 3. i can call who i want an idiot, but if you do it then you read scouting reports and are just dumb. ------------------ i'm on your case i'm in your face put you and your father back in place step off sucker understand don't you know that I'm The Man
I've seen Nellie in action in the NBA for years. You guys have never seen Collier in the NBA. My statement is fair, because I have seen this guy in the NBA numerous times, and enough to base an opinion of him. Collier has never been in the NBA, so it is ridiculously stupid to call him a sorry player having nothing factual in the NBA to base it on. I have that with Nellie. ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
Let's see Cat...Where should I start? Do you recognize any of these quotes from the last two days. You might not come out and call someone ignorant, but you certainly imply it. STRAIGHT FROM THE CAT'S KEYBOARD "So you can tell how our whole season will pan out and that we got 2nd round material in the draft by one Revue game that you didn't even watch? Man, you're a smart one." "I've said this about 5000 times, but you don't know anything about a player by reading some scouting reports. Just because someone is white, plays basketball, is close to 7 feet, and shoot from the outside doesn't mean he's a Matt Bullard clone. So until the season actually starts and you see these guys play, why not keep your mouth shut about them?" "The fact that Nellie thought Collier was a 2nd round pick makes me feel better actually. In his opinion, any player that isn't foreign is a 2nd rounder. This guy is a COMPLETE idiot, so don't take into account anything that he says. You've never seen Collier play an NBA game. And I doubt you've done anything but read some scouting reports that basically are dead wrong. So why not shut your mouth until the season starts and you see them play?" "Somehow I think if you heard it on the news last night, it would be SOMEWHERE over the internet now or Houston news or the Chronicle, over 12 hours later. Basketball websites would be all over this. Sorry man, don't buy it." Now thats just from the last two days. I'm sure if I had the time I could dig up a few more. I have to agree with Frinkster on this one. Another thing that bothers me is when you tell posters to shut their mouths and then inform them as to when they should form their opinions. The whole point of this board is to express our opinions about the Rockets. Where do you get off telling people to shut up? If everyone here had the same exact opinion as everyone else (or you in this case) this would be a pretty boring place to visit. Why don't you lighten up a bit. ------------------
Oh, I just found it. And notice nowhere did I call you ignorant. Nowhere did I say I don't respect you, which I do. I just called you ignorant on a certain topic. Here was your quote. the rockets are not getting any better by drafting two guys that might as well be siskel and ebert without the talent to rate the movies. Just take a poll of everyone here at ClutchCity. That statement does show ignorance on the part of the poster, as you have not seen them in an NBA game and probably not a college gamr so you really don't know that. And while there are people that don't like them here, not even they I don't think would go that far. I'm sorry if I offended you, and don't get me wrong, I respect you. It's just hard for me to listen to that comment and think the poster actually knows what he is talking about in this case. And believe me, I'm not the only one here that feels that way. You seem to think if I disagree with others, including you, that I think they are completely ignorant and that I don't respect them. Not even close. ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
ooh I saw the post. right under Smoke and Frinkster's post. now I know why Frinky has issues with you Cat. twas a little harsh. ------------------ I am so exasperated that I could expectorate.
Ummm.....I was talking about the Rockets managment heads a rolling, not our fellow posters. So, cut it out! Nobody here drafted Collier. ------------------
I remember that topic very well. I was not even close to the only one with that sentement. If you are going to jump on me then jump on everyone else. I think someone (Rocketman95?) had a good portion of that post as his signature a while back. Again, if you jump on me, jump on him too. I'm just making fun of Don Nelson there. Nowhere do I call any poster ignorant or even imply that. Again, I was not even close to the only poster saying this. Nikestrad said about the same thing right when I did. If you lash out on me, do it on him too. But that isn't even close to calling a poster ignorant. If someone had told you of a major event like Steve Francis being robbed at gunpoint, and then a day later you couldn't find information on it anywhere and you looked very hard, would you believe it? I doubt it... ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
oh, RB, I usually don't care, but it was in the title man! When grammar makes me laugh, I point it out. I expect others to do the same to me as well. ------------------ I am so exasperated that I could expectorate.
Where do I get off saying this? Where do you and others get off saying how Collier will be the biggest bust in history and that he and Rudy suck? If you can share your opinions regarding that, which are completely unproven at this point, then I should be able to share mine. ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
I said where do you get off telling people to shut up. I don't see anyone else telling people to shut up and keep their opinions to themselves. Everyone has the right to express themselves regardless if you don't agree with them. You are the one who asked to be shown when your posts were disrespectful of others. Just because other posters might have said similar thing is beside the point. Also, nowhere in my posts have I ever bashed Collier. I don't know why you are lumping me in with those who have been bashing him. However, if you want to know the truth, I feel like he was the wrong choice for the team. And yes I've never seen him play. Big Deal. See, I gave you my opinion and I did it without telling you to shut up. If you want to know why I think he was a bad choice I can tell you that also without telling you to shut up somewhere in my post. ------------------
Cat, I just wish you would choose your words a little more carefully. When you say "Man, you're a smart one" it is an obvious sarcastic disparaging comment directed at someone. What you may feel is common sense knowledge may not be the same to all posters. Please keep in mind some of your own words from the past. "yeah I'll try and tone it down. But if someone here is going to insult me personally and my intelligence, then they are going to get all of those accomplishments I've done shoved down their throat. I'll try to tone it down about the Lakers. I really will. But if someone is critical of me or my intelligence, then they are going to get it and I won't tone it down then. That is not something that I put up with." http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000780-2.html ------------------ I will demonstrate my clutchness this November.
Actually, I've seen people say it in much worse ways than "Why not shut your mouth about..." by some posters I'm sure you respect. Check the archives. But fine, I'll stop saying it in those terms if it bothers you. I didn't think it was a problem, but I don't want to be thought of as a poor poster here so I guess I can leave that out. Sorry if it offended you any. ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
I agree with The Cat that we should all reserve judgment on Collier until the season starts. We shouldn't be doing it after two summer games, especially since he's been hurt. However, (Cat, this is directed to you) people should always try to watch how they post. I've been sarcastic and ridiculing in the past, hell even in this thread. But, you don't want to alienate yourself against the majority of the BBS. ------------------ Going for the Rolls Royce! visit www.swirve.com
