    Once again it is the Roughest Division in basketball
    The Texas Triangle now includes New Orleans to make it the
    Perilous Paralellagram

    The Big Four
    New Orleans
    San Antoinio
    Houston

    Dallas

    then
    Memphis
    Timberwolves

    I suspect the 1st three teams should have winning records against most other divisions and will probably beat up on each other [esp at the beginning of the season.

    [Maybe the Rockets can Sweep a division . . .. again]

    To make it harder, Timberwolves aren't in Midwest Div.

    I do like the "Perlious Parallelogram." Very clever indeed.

    Nicely done, although a straight line from San Antonio to New Orleans goes right through Houston (I just checked on a map), so we could still call it a Triangle.

    Not quite as there is a small pivot @ the Houston vertex. So not a parallelogram and not a triangle. So what is it? Maybe an odd shaped black hole! If you are found anywhere inside it there is an 80% (90% if you don't include Dallas) chance that you will lose.

    but if you didn't kink the triangle inward, houston would be contained in the NO/DAL/SA triangle.

    so the triangle stands afaic.

    NO...then you are excluding Houston from the triangle. And you are saying that the firepower is located at NOH, DM, SAS which is where the vertices fall.

    No dude, he's saying that Houston is at the center of the triangle and is the focal point of the universe.

    Duh.

    where is it written that the power of the triangle is at the vertices?

    the bermuda triangle is an entire area where crap happens. the vertices just establish the boundaries.

    It kinks inward if you try to make it hit the center of Houston. But if you don't, it crosses through houston somewhere between the center and and the south loop. Pretty close to the Summit.

    Exactly! If you really thing the power comes from the outside, you are dumb. The power comes from within!

    The hardest part of the earth is the crust, right?

    The hottest part of the sun is sunbeams, right?

    If you think this, you are an idiot. Geez.
