    5. The team is playing so much better without Tracy McGrady. McGrady was the high-priced superstar brought in by the Rockets to end their playoff drought. He didn't do so, despite being quite the drama queen about things. He's injured and out for the year -- something the Rockets found out about by reading his website (nice touch) -- and the team has been playing better without him. In conversation, you must chalk this up to the team ethic overcoming the superstar ethos, and call McGrady any name short of the actual Anti-Christ. (Note: If you're talking to a dedicated T-Mac hater, feel free to go with the Anti-Christ reference.)

    man as much as I hate t-wack, if he can come back next year with about 70% of what he used to be the ROX will be a nasty team.

    what a great article. lol :D

    It's like a posers guide.

    "yeah T-mac sucks and they have to front Yao because Artest is too good. Battier is such a hard worker."

    4. Ron Artest is a changed man. A year ago, if you mentioned Ron Artest to any casual NBA fan (assuming you could find one in Houston), you would have been told he was a thug who climbed into the stands one game as a Detroit Piston to beat up a helpless fan. Mention him today, and you will discover that the fan in the stands that night was a beer-throwing, epithet-shouting coward who taunted Artest's wife, kids and beloved grandmother, and it's a good thing Ron has such a solid head on his shoulders or that guy could have really gotten hurt.

    I'm sure he was a Pacer, but whatever.

    I’ve been dealing with these kinds of “fans” all day at work today. Frankly, it’s been ever since the playoffs started.

    You know the type…the guy (or girl) who doesn’t keep up with the team all year, then all the sudden thinks he/she knows everything about them when the playoffs start. I get this all the time since my cubicle is decked out with Rockets stuff and everyone here knows I’m the resident Super Fan.

    Please….if you don’t know how to pronounce Artest (it’s not Artist…) or Scola (it’s not Scalia…), just don’t even patronize me by asking me what I thought of the game last night. It’s obvious that you don’t really care. KAYTHNXBYE. (<---did I do that right?)

    I got a good laugh out of it. Richard Connelly must be a clutchfans member or a lurker. I can't help but chuckle reading the Tmac hater part. :D

    The last one about Battier's defense is funny. It seems to work on a lot of players, but Kobe seems unfazed by the hand in the face. He seems to have more trouble when Battier doesn't do the, I'm-out-of-position defense.
