    Your old guy earned our respect, and your new guy is off to a good start (oops, Game 6? The Starks tipped shot by the #1 pick of the 84 draft? Perhaps Game 5 needed better camera angles?).

    Please have him be as solid as Fritz in posting his Blogs with us.

    Go Rox!

    Same here.

    For someone who claims to be so smart, it was pretty dumb of him to make remarks like that toward first time readers.

    So he knows Rockets history, so what, that doesn't suddenly give him the right to say "he is smart". Knowing history does not correlate with knowing how to analyze the game of basketball. Pretty horrible blog, didn't even finish reading it.

    Oh well I guess this add to the piles of Blinebury and Justice blogs, puke.

    Not only that, but there's probably at least a couple hundred people on this board that know more about the Rockets than him.

    The author got it right.

    this team will do nothing if they could not fill the PG hole.

    You keep it simple, establish a bridge linking the connection between writer and reader. You don't come running out of the gate like a some pretentious jackass. Rather than focusing on the content of his writing, my mind continued to be relegated to the insulting manner and arrogant demeanor this thing that is so called a "writer" that was presented.

    After writhing in anger :mad: , I can assure you that there is no further interest in reading this distasteful jumble of words. This will be the first time and last time, I will ever read any more of this asinine defunct garbage that you put out. Big enough words for you? :mad: prick

    Dude is a fellow Rocket fan and I hope by now he's gotten the point that he will do much better to become "one of us" than trying to become "the one". Get it together Sema....that's means don't be an arrogant ass.

    Sesha--

    You have to earn the right to mock your readers. you can do this a few ways:

    A. Be funny. (You may have been trying to get some laughs, i don't know. I do know that trying doesn't cut it--ryan bowen tried to hit jump shots. If your arrogance is an attempt at humor, it's a flyin ryan level miss)

    B. Be incredibly insightful--nope. Others in the comments have covered this. You don't make bad arguments, but you also don't make arguments that are good enough to warrant your jackassery.

    C. Be stylistically deft--meh.

    D. Be an established personality--nope, not this either.

    It's your first post. You obviously spent some time on this. Please spend some more time and rethink your strategy for developing a readership.

    I look forward to reading your posts in he future.

    Let me phrase this another way--

    [AncientGreekPihlosophy]The oracle told Socrates he was the wisest of all men. Socrates realized this was because he was the only man who did not claim to be wise.[/AncientGreekPhilosophy]

    It would behoove you to take a page out of that book.
