Negativity...Thy Name Is the Rockets 2002: Game Action & Roster Moves Forum

The reason i dont like this forum is because of all the people that are negative ABOUT being Negative.

 

I personally don't care for all of the irrational optimism that takes over the place when we beat teams like the Hawks and the Iverson-less Sixers...

 

That's just the way it is. Get used to it!

 

Well stay out of the forum then.

 

You're new.

It's like this <i>every</i> year. A topic about the board being too negative is pretty much a tradition - as is the board being negative.

But sometimes its well deserved. Like setting a new team record for lowest point total in a half.

 

I was banned because I posted 25 times in a "Ban ZRB" thread, and because I started to many in-game threads

If you don't like the prevailing attitude on this message board, then that is your problem. You are the loser if you let it bother you so much. Nothing you say is going to change the way people feel about what this team is doing. If they feel negative, that's just the way it is. Get used to it, or "Turn" off the computer.

 

yo soy un peredor

I'm a loser baby.

so why don't you kill me?

 

What? What?

"You're a dork, btw. You do know that, don't you?"

Rockets 2002: Game Action & Roster Moves - "A warm and fuzzy place"


ewwwwww.

I would like to add that (this player) sucks threads are running a lil too rampant. It seems like every few days 5 or 6 pop up. "so and so suck. We could have had this instead" blah blah blah. Can't wait til I get to start one.

kudos to Nikestrad. I've really enjoyed his posts in the game action so far this season.

 

Oh great. I have finally hit 'ultra elite quotable' status, yet I misspelled 'meanie'.

Manny, I think the negativity is twofold:
a) it lets one vent frustrations when their team loses.
b) it is used to constantly realign one's expectations of this team with reality.

When I look at the schedule, I expect the Rockets to win every game. Of course that's not going to happen, but likewise a record of 51-21 is something that you're only comfortable with once you've gotten there. Immediately after the games (a dedication of a fan's time, btw) we vent b/c of all of the missed fts, uncalled fouls, uncontested layups, etc. We vent, of course, b/c it's fresh and b/c we've meshed ourselves into the dilemna "will we win or will we lose".

We vent because this team is obnoxiously talented, and still hasn't clicked for 48 minutes, 8 games in.

Incidentally, I think Glen Rice may be approaching what we expect of a 'Glen Rice'.

BTW, you just bought 'Heaven or Las Vegas'.... don't ride it too far. When you've picked up Treasure and Four Calendar Cafe, you'll power up to an area where you're safe from even Crisco, Smegg and rimbaud.

 

Yes we are 5-3 now and thats the point MR. This team has squeked by playing against sorry or very,very avg teams. We should have that kind of record, but anyone who takes notice know we can't win the next games playing like that. Now you look up and the nuggets and warriors are winning too. Too me, its more about this team, most notably the coaches not adjusting to the rules. The Rockets are playing that kind of ball because the staff hasn't gooten the most out of the offensive options. Why keep running the same plays that getting you 90 pts per. If Glen Rice is going to contibute, leave Moochie on the bench and run some double screens for him to get him free. When we're in a funk, lets change the tempo by picking the ball up further down the court. I see teams do it to the Rockets all the time. They make Francis or Mobley turn 5,6 times and then when the Rox get past half court, they have 16 sec to run a play. Rudy just has to wake up and utilize this teams strengths which is speed and quickness.

 

What about the other 10 games?

 

okie-dokie, Manny is my hero for the week. Not only does he start a Negativity about Negativity thread, but he makes a "Dead Can Dance" reference.

So, Manny, have you heard another 4AD great--Wolfgang Press? How about Dif Juz?

Also, if you like 4AD type stuff, try Sky Cries Mary ("Moon Dream Meadow Allegory," which you won't find in a store) and, of course, MC 900 ft Jesus...(neither of these are 4AD).
