bwahahhahahhaaaahhaa!!! BWAHWHAHAHAWAHH....Rockets have no chance but you think the kings could still make the playoffs? can't rule out the Blazers who are now 10th in the standings, but the Rockets have no chance???? again....BWAHHAWHAHHAHAHAA i know you made these predictions in the middle of January but the fact that you still haven't changed your mind just shows how foolish those statements were.
There is a thick line between being "objective" and being an absolutely stubborn, trollish pessimist.
saying there's no chance for making the playoffs is not the same as saying there is a chance they don't make the playoffs. everyone knows that a little bit of a skid can take us out of a playoffs spot but to definitively state that the Rox have no chance is like SuperMariobro said, being an absolutely stubborn, trollish pessimist...especially when he can't admit that he was wrong. we have a chance, hell a lot better chance than we did a month and a half ago, but he's still trying to save face when there's nothing to save.
topfive, Top 3 response of the night. my one issue with your analysis of the thread starter is that its hard to make fun of an idiot who doesnt care if most of the board thinks he is an idiot. This didnt happen as much before, when most members looked at it as a community. IF you got blasted for being an idiot back then, you disappeared cause no one would ever let you live it down. unfortunately, that only works when the idiot cares about member's opinions.
This must be a lucky post for Rockets! The Rockets have won all of the games but one since this post! Good job!
That response has already been proven false earlier in this thread by someone else. No you are already wrong. You said 'Playoff's? No Way!' Even if we fail to make the Playoffs, it's already proven there was a 'Way'. Everyone else knew this, and you didn't when we made your prediction? Recall what you said to Sweet Lou 4 2: And you are saying it's easy to have this type of record, even against 'weak' teams? But didn't you also say 'wait till New Orleans'? Yeah, you said that before the NO game. And you act like we haven't played and beaten any of the other bigs in the West, BEFORE we started to 'get it'?
Out of all of your many opinions, you try to grasp at one that you were a little correct on, whether material or not? My argument was that we were already a solid starting squad last season, had made substantially more changes than any of the other big teams in the West, thus had more potential upside, and I still stand by that argument. Here were some of my final comments to you on 12/6 and 12/7: and... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=138746&page=50&pp=20 What's material to the issue is I recognized the potential of the Rockets and recognized that we needed some patience. You repeatedly (and still) disbelieve even though there are and have been plenty of reasons to believe. Looking back on your main posts in this thread (and the one from December), what's striking is that you don't mention the strengths of our players or our team. You only mention opposing team strengths. I no longer believe you. I don't think that you're a Rocket fan. I think that you're a troll, just yanking our collective chain.
"you've gotta be crazy" is NOT an absolute statement. "Playoffs, NO WAY" is an absolute statement. "The sun looks green" = not absolute. "There is zero chance the Astros will make the playoffs" = absolute. "BrooksBall knows very little about grammer" = not absolute. "BrooksBall is wrong" = absolute.
