    Of course we could have been 1-0 with Boki playing instead of Wesley as well.

    What was your point again?

    Oh yeah, you didn't have one.

    Using that reasoning the Bulls should trade Hinrich for Damon Jones and they would be at the top of the division.

    Come on man. Give it up already.

    My point was, ......we are 1-0 with Wesley.

    and the Hornets are 0-1 with Boki.

    geez

    and my point is the Hornets are 2-infinity with Baron Davis and the Suns are infinity-3 with Bo Outlaw. Big whoop.

    Not a fair comparison, it is a team game, and neither Wesley nor Boki can win a game by themselves.

    Also, New Orleans SUCKS !! Boki will benefit though, he will play well and get a nice raise in the offseason, and get to go to a team that will utilize his talents instead of trying to fit him into a role he is not suited for.

    JVG is an idiot.

    Who did we play tonight? A Cav's team without their franchise player the whole 2nd half. We almost lost to that team too. it was 88-85 in the 4th quarter. Your not telling me that Lebron wouldve made a difference if he played?

    And who did the Hornets Play? A team that's 25-4. Their best player just came off the injured list and thier rosters have more scrubs then ours. You can't compare records based on 2 players. joptmac is right, BIG WHOOP

    My point is that we lost a potential young contributor in Boki.
    He could grow with Tmac/Yao and be a nice bench player or
    even starter.

    Winning is all that counts boys.

    Wesley 1-0 so far as a Rocket. Im looking forward to watching him help us try to win the next one, just like he helped us win tonight.

    Go Rockets.

    And Yao and TMac are below .500. Probably time to move them?

    soooo please explain to all us blind people that obviously weren't watching the same game you were how wesley helped us win tonight's game? Was it his 1-5 shooting? Was it his 4 fouls?

    I don't know, maybe T-macs 30+ points 5 assist 7 rebounds had something to do with it but.....we can't overlook wesley's contributions for sure.

    Did Welsey not hit a big jumper down the stretch?

    Did Wesley not play good defense down the stretch?

    Geez. Its almost like you guys are rooting against this guy to help us win.

    Nope, but to prop him and his contribution up as the reason the Rocks won is slightly ridiculous, or by blaming Boki for New Orleans losing, which you posted..right here in this thread !!

    I never said Wesley was the reason the Rocks won. Its ridiculous for you to say I did when I clearly didn't

    I said Wesley HELPED us win and he did from what I saw.

    Reading comprehension problems indeed.

    I never said Boki helped NO lose. I responded to a post where Boki's stats were hyped over Wesley's like somehow NO is already up a leg on this trade, when they clearly aren't.

    We are 1-0 so far with Wesley. He helped us win.

    I hope his contributions, no matter how small, continue to help us win.

    How about you?

    Yes, I do. But, I do wish that Boki would have been given the opportunity to help us win as much as Wesley is going to get and as much as Ward, Gaines, Bowen, Juwon, and MoT have gotten. He didn't get that same chance. Keep tabs all you want to. Check back in a couple years and let's see what came of this trade. We don't know at this point who really got the better end of the deal, only time will tell. But we do know that Boki did not get the same opportunity as those other scrubs, don't we?

    We are 1-0 so far with Ward on the OR table. He helped us win in spirit.

    I hope his contributions, no matter how small, continue to help us win.

    How about you? :D
