Honestly, I used to like this guy, but the ONLY time he seems to write about the Rockets anymore is when they lose. And you can count on an article when they do lose. I was on Clutch Chat during the Mavs game, and someone (I can't remember who) mentioned how Blinebury would be penning another article on the Rocks once the game was decided and the Rocks were going to lose. Clutch was there and pretty much concurred that that was going to happen. I thought about it for awhile and remembered how much of a pattern this has become and how little I had seen Blinebury write about the Rocks since they had been doing so well lately. Lo and behold, after the loss, there's the article, detailing such things as 'another 4th quarter collapse.' To be fair to him, however, I do have to say that he did have some halfway positive/hopefull things to say, even though they seemed forced out at gunpoint. Hopefully Fran is coming around. Seriously, I'm not sure what happened with Blinebury to make him become so incredibly jaded with this young squad, but I just had to vent about his whole attitude this season which has just flat - out pissed me off to no end; give it a freakin' rest, buddy, and show some love to the home team, ok? Just had to get that off of my chest. -PhiSlamma (PSJamma on chat) ------------------ Millenium blastoff is Imminent!!! Rocks are in the hiz - ouse!!
what happened to your Jamma? Are you getting old like Drexler? hehe Really, I could not agree more. Blinebury has only been negative all year.
Let's count to be fair: neg: 11, pos: 10 The last couple have been pretty bad, but its pretty even, especially if you throw out the "coaching" column. == negative == March 4, 2001: Rockets contribute to three-ring circus Feb. 17, 2001: Blinebury: Rockets don't own playoff mentality Feb. 11, 2001: Coaches smother once-lively game (not really an anti-Rockets column, but he does take digs at Rudy T.) Feb. 1, 2001: It's Olajuwon's pride that's talking Jan. 31, 2001: All that trash talk adds up to garbage Jan. 25, 2001: Sixers make plays as Rockets watch Jan. 24, 2001: Rudy T, Hakeem need to have talk Dec. 9, 2000: Kings to Rockets: This is how to do it Dec. 3, 2000: Time for some to grow up Nov. 12, 2000: Francis, Mobley fail in role as team's catalysts Nov. 1, 2000: Opening night downright scary == Feb. 10, 2001: Olajuwon thrice makes his point Feb. 6, 2001: Hakeem shows how it still can be Feb. 4, 2001: Francis rightfully asserts leadership Dec. 15, 2000: Rudy's 400th win proof of flexibility Dec. 12, 2000: Rockets' defense warms cold night Dec. 11, 2000: Francis least of Grizzlies' woes Dec. 10, 2000: Olajuwon, Ewing back where it began Nov. 13, 2000: Francis, Kobe could teach the other Nov. 8, 2000: Consistency is what Rockets need now Oct. 29, 2000: Olajuwon wants to know for sure it's time to call it a career ------------------
edc, I disagree. He consistently bashes everyone but the franchise player (new and old). You are just posting the titles. If you read, he doesn't think anyone is worth keeping except who he proclaims franchises. He even has said that he doesn't know why people go to the games, because Rudy's offense system is boring and blah, blah, blah. [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited March 05, 2001).]
Blinebury lost all credibility when last year he said Shaq was the best centers along with Chamberlaid, No offense Russell, and JaBlunt. I dont even think he mentioned Hakeem in his stupid ass article. Blineburys DUMB ASS only lives in Houston. But maybe overlooking Hakeem was just a mistake. ------------------
heypartner - There's another poster who uses the entire Phi Slamma Jamma; when I first got my nick (some time ago, though you cant tell by my productivity), I just took Phi Slamma. I guess my post productivity (I like that pun, post - write, post - basketball) is kind of like an aging Parish, though, so you're right! - PhiSlamma ------------------ Millenium blastoff is Imminent!!!
