    WTF? This Charley Rosen guy BS article just infuriates me now.
    Did JVG or some of the Rox players slept with his wife or something?
    This idiot basically bashed every guy on the Rox team in his article. :mad:

    Not everyone. He praised Dampier like he's a hall of fame center. He must have some serious issues with Yao, completely trashed him.

    He ripped everyone but the Spurs. No biggie - He is a Spers only fan just like Steve Kerr.

    The outlook

    "Not enough quickness and leadership at the point."

    i guess rafer isn't quick enough. on our team leadership comes from Tmac. where was the leadership at the point for the lakers dynasty?


    "Not enough help for T-Mac in the frontcourt."

    DA, bowen, stro, jho, baxter, yao, deke? name another team with as much frontcourt help.


    "No reliable bench players."

    DA, JB, deke, Jho, bowen, head, baxter?

    "And a pipsqueak coach who thinks he's a giant."

    but he is still one of the best coaches in the league even if he suffers from that delusion. in other words, this is like saying yao is a terrible cook who thinks he belongs on the food network.

    "Everything adds up to another disappointing season in Houston."

    if only everything that was said was valid enough to add up.

    November and December were pretty disappointing.

    jvg and rosen have gotten into it before because rosen is buddies with phil jackson and jvg argued with rosen while at tnt over his report that jvg resigned at the knicks because sprewell cursed him out at practice the day before he resigned. this is predictable payback from a jackson lackey

    pipsqueak is never to be used in houston rockets terms other than as a label for Scottie Pippen. Apparently, he didn't get that memo.

    I usually turn the other cheek when it comes to differing opinions from sportswriters, but this guy is seriously delusional.

    Guys, Rosen is a well-known ally and close friend of Phil Jackson; Phil Jackson and JVG are well-known bitter enemies, dating back to Jackson's days with the Bulls.

    Translation: Rosen is a tired lapdog of one of the most overrated coaches in the history of the league, and spends his time cracking anyone who would stand in the way of Big Chief Triangle being referred to as a god.

    Ignore him and his clearly misinformed and biased trash, and enjoy watching Jackson struggle through another year of the Lakers losing, while having to endure coaching Kobe.

    We have Yao, McGrady, and Swift--life is good.

    From reading the whole thing, I think Rosen is just an equal opportunity hater/zitpicker. He would have ragged on the Spurs too if they weren't the defending champs.

    No biggie...he just wrote that article to get attention and ratings :p

    That article isn't even worth tearing apart. Regarding us specifically, he contradicted himself silly. I've had 10 beer posts here that I'm ashamed of, but it's hard to believe this idiot really wrote this as an article.

    What I'm really pissed off about was that I was frikkin' livid just reading the Mav's review. I've never liked Rosen, but I do think this guy is either on serious medication or needs to be.

    100% of the league dreads going through the "Texas Triangle" and this doofus makes it sound like it's an automatic two wins. Truly out of the twilight zone.

    "Everything adds up to another disappointing season in Houston."

    If 51 wins is a disappointing season then I hope we have another one.

    I thought that article was absolutely hysterical. Especially the stuff about Van Gundy...

    Actually, some of the points the guy makes aren't completely invalid - but yeah, he clearly just hates the Rockets.

    Charley Rosen has no credibility, so I choose to ignore what he says.

    Obviously, this guy knows even less about basketball than stupid Mavs, Lakers and Knicks fans.
