    I love how people come on here and smugly pronounce these kinds of predictions that the Magic/Francis will never be champions, ever, on days after we lose to the freaking Bobcats.

    how are the two related?

    i'm disappointed in the Rockets last night...but that doesn't affect my opinon on the ring-worthiness of the Orlando Magic.

    Glass houses. The implication is that we, on the other hand, now that we have shed him are. Which is why haters frequently start threads about him.

    And if you don't think the two teams fates are intertwined in the near term for a certain reason - rock, living, under, etc.

    rockets success is not contingent on the magic sucking....nor vice versa.

    I love how some people will not, ever, get over the Steve Francis.

    Hmm... that was pretty meta.

    In any case, your metaphor boils down to "my carburetor is broken, therefore I'm not qualified to have an opinion on yours."

    What?

    And generally the people who can't get over him are haters who are obsessed with him. Did I start this thread yippy? No, another hater did, as most of them are.

    And if you can't see why the two teams fates are somewhat intertwined in the near term - Rock/under/living etc.

    the only way the two teams fates are entwined now is if we played them every game for the rest of the season. what the rockets do now and what the magic do are completely indepedent of each other. unless you believe there's some sort of cosmic connection and if you do then good more power to you.

    listen--you might want to get a good education and get smarter before you start calling people names and post these glib sarcastic remarks.

    you know what samfisher? i understand. i really do. you wanted to get into dartmouth or something but you got reject and now you're at some place like swarthmore. you're still smart okay? take that chip off your shoulder, you don't have to prove it to everyone all the time okay?

    Oh, yippy skippy, spare me the melodrama, we've got enough of that with the holidays here and my folks in town.

    If you're too dense to understand why there have been magic threads running rampant throughout this forum and GARM for the last three months I seriously question your credentials and suggest you leave Cambridge perhaps for UMass or something of that ilk. Merry Christmas! :D

    Oh, and I'm sure my other main stalker on this BBS will chime in at some point - I suggest you two form a support group or something.

    You think pretty highly of yourself to say that I'm your stalker. Why don't you count the number of posts I've made in the last 3 months and then the number that have been in response to you. Don't say you don't have the free time because you do have the time to post 20 times a day on here. I don't know about the first number, but the second number couldn't be much higher than 2, and both times it's because I've had it with your glib ass remarks.

    The other stalker? Who is that? I don't know but neither of us have as much time as apparently you do, so we'll skip the support group and continue to positively contribute to society some other way.

    Happy holidays.

    P.S.--I was right about the Swarthmore wasn't I? Or is it Bucknell or something like that?

    Gotta agree there. Seems odd lamenting that Magic will not go deep in the playoffs while Rox are possibly struggling to get in. (though they're only a game or two out of it now...). Give them their props. They're doing well...as is Steve.

    I'll continue to watch Magic games and wish Steve success. And i'd do the trade again...if given the chance.

    Exactly! Thank you man. You KNOW this thread was started with the intent of Francis bashing, and when it turned into praising then the haters came out and started telling everyone to get over him. The only time he's really brought up in new topics is when people try to bash him to make it look like the Rockets won the trade. Then me, SamFisher, PGabriel, etc. defend him and all of a sudden we're considered obsessive.

    And as far as the Magic not winning the title..well neither them nor the Rockets have a shot at winning it any time soon. Difference is the Magic have a better shot at at least REACHING the finals. (And yes, I am aware that they are in the east. But still...)

    You're welcome.

    Don't worry, you'll find someone willing to put up with your crap eventually. Don't despair though if it takes a long time. You can always brandish your Swarthmore degree.

    YPee, I just ran a portion of your last post through MS Word grammar check, here are the results:

    Passive Sentences 5%
    Flesh Reading Ease 59.1
    Flesh Kincaid Grade Level 6.7

    We need to brush up on those English composition skills, this will not be helpful at thesis time.

    Thanks that might have helped before I turned my thesis in, but luckily I was able to graduate anyway.

    So... Flesh Kincaid huh? You might have to wait longer to get laid than I previously thought.

    Maybe a Swarthmore degree's not gonna do it. Try one of those forged "I have a life" certificates. And make sure you grammar check it before you print it out, I'm sure they'll notice that.

    i guess they are to the freaks on this board...of which, i have about 16K posts. :) but, frankly..if the Rocks were winning games and playing well, i wouldn't give a damn what the Magic were doing. because i said this trade was to benefit the rocks in the long-term, i still don't give a damn what the Magic are doing.

    What is your obsession with insulting Swarthmore graduates? Are we not good enough to post on the same BBS's as you? Is there a reason you feel you're so much better than others simply because of the school you graduated from, does that really make you that much of a better person? It seems to me that it makes you more of a conceited elitist. Of course, I shouldn't even be wasting server space with my opinion since I only have a Swarthmore eduction.

    LMFAO, you stepped in it now Yippy :D

    For the record, I analyzed this post gramatically and its Flesh-Kincaid grade level was vastly superior to that of Yipengzowie's last post.

    A Swarthmore man bests Harvard boy. Telling.

    No obsession. I was trying to make a point that SamFisher always has a chip on his shoulder to try to prove he's smart, it's like he's suffered some injustice on his education. So I came up with a top tier school -- Dartmouth and a second tier school -- Swarthmore, which is also very good. I don't think Swarthmore is as good as Dartmouth, that's my only opinion.

    By the way, where people go to college I feel has only some bearing on their success in life. At my company, half the people went to the ivies, but the other half is just as good if not better. It's an indicator, but not a law.
