notty, you've been Mangoized. Clutch has paid far more respect to you than anyone else thought necessary. You should truly honor your flogging. He's been persistent, methodical, hell, words can't describe it. While reading his posts I hear the faint voice of a video game character whispering "kill him". BTW, the only way you can transcend such a basting is to admit that you are completely clueless. I suggest a quick start. And to show you that we are hospitable here at clutchcity.net... I'll help you on your way to self enlightenment.... it's spelled Olajuwon.

Oh by the way, nice picture of Stockton, not every hall of famer, will take a charge. Achebe ~yawn~ Your opinion. Nice to see you can talk to someone, without name calling or flaming, or trying to shout them down, to try to prove your point. [/sarcasm] Maybe it's all those video games and whispering voices? Thanks Clutch, it's been interesting. I do respect your right to your opinion, I hope you respect mine, I said before this thread was just repeating old arguments. It really has now. I was just trying to show, that if the Jazz are being dirty players, to win games, (your supposition). Then what is the difference between a team that cheats (sandbags, to get better players) to win games? (my supposition) Goodbye~~~
Remind me never to get on Clutches bad side. Stats may say the Rockets were getting stronger and they were a better team and all---but if there was a Bulls-Rockets finals that year, theres no way, fan or not, that I'd better against Jordan. The man was freakin inhuman. It's more than a basketball game to him---it's a test of wills and I simply think no one could have scaled that mountain with him smack dab in the middle of his prime. Just MHO...
Originally posted by notty nope the 50's yea right... a late 40 to early 50's "man" running around from internet bbs to internet bbs trying to troll for his hometeam...sorry that job is already reserved for 15 year old piss-ants that have no life, are angry that nobody likes them, will not get laid for years to come, and think its funny to piss people off...oh, and gettinbranded. Nope, I said the cheating was in the '84 draft. By getting Olajuwon, it enabled them to later trade for Drexler and to reunite the phi-slama-jama please explain this cheating thing again, you are going back and forth from 83-84 seasons and not being specific...only when someone gives you facts on one season...then you say "oh no..I meant the other season" here is some proof Originally posted by notty •Of couse, if the Rockets had not dumped two seasons, to get two stright number one picks (Sampson=traded for Drexler, and Olijuwan) They would never of made theplayoffs (did you know that Houston was responsibly for the NBA instituting the lottery because of this inappropriate action?) ........ Stern would be touching no one's balls, if Houston's actions had not caused the lottery to come into being. and •Yes we lost out in the 95 and 96 playoffs, but the fact of the matter is, you would not of had that championship, if the owners had not dumped the second season to get Olijuwan, and if MJ had been playing. HMMM...a near fifty year old man, who knows the rockets "cheating" way back in 83' or was it 84'(hell you don't even know) been watching the NBA for how many seasons? Been a UTAH fan for how many seasons? Been kicked out of the playoffs by Houston how many seasons?Yet you still don't know how to spell Olajuwon? OH yea...dumped 2 seasons? Are you seriously disturbed? Our starters had more minutes played than our bench players in BOTH seasons...maybe with the exception of some old guy named ELVIN HAYES coming of the bench for a lot of time. Other than that why don't you give us some proof of how the rockets dumped the season, besides the old BTM method of "because I said so". OH and I loved this lame ass excuse on how we "cheated" to get drexler (oh, I stand corrected, it was your #3 pick, that eventually brought Drexler. Rodney McCray, for Otis thorpe for Drexler) WOW! Does nostrodamus work for the Rockets organization or what?! •Sorry Clutch, but the the decade starts with the 1 year. There was no "0" year AD. It started as 1AD. a decade is 10 years. Do the math. Each decade starts on the 1 year, and ends on the 0 year. And my facts were correct for those years. I was going by the western worlds calander.This is what my statement was based on. Gee, technical, technical...more moronic teenager stuff that sounds like "see, I'm right and you're not" Western worlds? So what calender do they use in Spain, France, Former USSR? Well at least you were kind enough to say you were sorry before addressing clutch Hmmm... Malone and Stockton never intentionally hurt someone, then bragged about it. The fact that you condone their violence surprises me, considering the original subject of this thread condone their violence? When malone and cockton do their dirty work do you go"Those dirty bastards! They should be waived for that play! They cheated!" No. probably not. you probably sit there and snicker like a 5 year old who stole a cookie out of the pantry. First you accuse the rockets organization of cheating without any proof then you try to turn into a rightous passifist...nice logic. You'll never change your opinions, I'll never change mine. you might change it if you got some actual facts to base it on. I don't think you've given one fact in all your jibber jabber trollish ranting. Oh almost forgot... this is compliments of Good ol' GB.... Stats may say the Rockets were getting stronger and they were a better team and all---but if there was a Bulls-Rockets finals that year, theres no way, fan or not, that I'd better against Jordan. WOW! A bulls fan for mike? Say it ain't so! I'm sure glad you claified that for us gb, otherwise I might not have remembered you stating that in your numerous other posts on how the Bulls would've beaten the Rockets had they met in the finals. But you know, I'm sure glad you came around and stood up for notty on one of this opinions...hell he was probably "gettinlonely" Just MHO...
Boy, how classy of Malone to pass up other opportunities to go to other teams to stay loyal to Utah. Spoke too soon Notty. <a href="http://espn.go.com/magazine/bucher_20011127.html">Malone Asks To Be Traded</a>
I don't know gettinbranded, Hakeem was slaughtering people in his prime to, especially and in his prime Robinson who had just had the best season of his career. Man I would have loved to have seen the Rockets play the Bulls in the Finals just once. I guarantee they wouldn't have laid down like the Utah Jazz. Those would have been Lakers/Celtics type series.
Looks like Karla now wants to ride Dirk Diggler's coattails to a title. I wonder what Byron, or Bryon Scott has to say about that.
Holy cow, you get your panties all up in a wad when Coma said something about a YO MOMMA joke and ask for the moderaters to change it, then you do this?!?! That's really lame GB. I'd say something about those who can't dish it out but can't take it but your comment was so much more vile that it's not ever really appropriate...
Thats just like you gb...put in your unwanted 2cents then totally lose it when someone points out your snide comments with a sarcastic remark. Is it not true that you've said many times that the Bulls would have beat the Rockets in the finals with Mike? It is true. Is it true you are a Bulls fan. It is true. We all know you are a Bulls fan, so don't you think we know your position on this subject(even though you've reminded us time and time again). yes. You know that notty is pissing off everyone on this bbs yet you feel the sudden need to be the one guy that agrees with his opinion. Good ol' gb...you're a joke. And I promise you...I'm worth a lot more than your pathetic bbs hopping trollish self...although I don't wish you to die...just stfu.
Last I checked it was a public board and I have full posting rights, so I'm assuming your quip about unwanted posts was yet another of your incomprehensible rantings. RocksM had a good response to my post. You---and a lot others could learn from him. Or...you can return to the dark dank cave where you and your family emerged from. <shrug>
So did coma when you asked the moderators to censor him. How is what he posted any worse than what you did?
This is trolling at it's finest. You're changing the whole topic of the thread... Drop it. (wondering why SOME people would rather talk about GB than the topic at hand) Back to Rockets bball...
This is ridiculous. It is not trolling to point how posts that are blatently offensive. The matter would be instantly dropped (at least at my end) if you would recognize that wishing death on a poster is incredibly inapproriate on a board like this. Clutch has said many times that he likes to keep this board at least semi-family oriented (ie no excessive cursing, etc). I would think this goes beyond this bounds. What makes the whole situation so absurd, and the main reason I pointed this out, was because you yourself asked the moderators to censor a post you found offensive just a couple of nights ago. Were you trolling when you did that? One last note: I really don't get a kick out of talking about you. I'm sorry, but you're really just not that important to me. I just like to help and keep this board as far from an espn-style board as I can...
My family? That one hurt. Hey GB, I wish you would come to a rockets board and actually have something decent to say about the team. Instead, the only time I see you post is to down the rockets in some way. I guess you'll never figure it out as it won't be too long that you're banned again. Oh, btw. I wonder why you talk about having to put so many people on your ignore list? You think its because your posts are funny,informative, or considerate in anyway? Nope. Doesn't it bother you that so many people find you so obnoxious that you have to close your ears to them like a little child and scream to drown out the words? Hell, if you weren't such an malicious and tactful jerk then it wouldn't be that way. Do you care...nope. Do you keep posting your crap. yep. hell its your right...right? If I had as many people flame me...or ban me..or anything like that, as you do, I would think hmmm, maybe I'm being an *******. please don't make me provide proof because I don't feel like cutting a pasting over a 100 links. Sorry, one last thing...as long as you keep posting your inconsiderate comments then I'll keep posting mine, and considerating you talked about wanting me to die and my family, then I really don't care what I say to you next...guess its time to add more to that big ol' ignore list huh?
Is it any wonder I have to make use of my ignore list when people like you can't even get your facts straight? It's a waste of time listening to the likes of you: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/sear...hid=6451&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending I stopped looking for something I said negative about the Rox after I got to the bottom of the first page... Me banned? Nope. You'll have to use your ignore list or find another board to hang out on.
okay, its obvious you don't put a lot of effort into self-examination. maybe that first page is the "toned down" GB...remember that you stopped being a smartass after you got the boot? And yes you DID get the boot or do I have to pull out the post that you practically begged clutch to unban you...remember your other handle "GOOD OL' GB"? anyways here is a "couple" of links to show what a nice guy you are on the GOOD OL' clutchcity bbs...enjoy http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?threadid=24558 http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?threadid=24485 http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?threadid=24452 http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?threadid=24393 http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?threadid=23665 this is clutch even telling you, you are a troll this is everyone just telling you what a jerk you are this is why clutch banned you http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23437&perpage=30&pagenumber=4 thats enough...if you can't see all the snide BS you've shovled over a period of a month or 2 then you and your "great basketball mind"puleeesse are ....damn....forget it, you're a lost cause.
