    Yes i know he's having a very bad day but that's not the reason to have an argument with everybody on forum. He shouldn't enter Clutchfans.net today

    Well I don't have nicknames like macs,yaos,steves,james on another forums. I'm barkley cause my basketball trainer said that I have a similar face to him (which I don't think is true) so now 60% of my friends know me as a Barkley :)

    It would suck to play any Texas team.

    Rockets are going to do great. Scola is awesome, I can't wait to see this guy in action!

    Don't let it bug you HP is a dow jones poster, he goes from major quality where he diagrams plays to whining about sigs and monikers.

    He is in more dire need of a woman than any white man in history.

    So, basically Morey added:

    Scola--best power forward in Europe, 2 time Spanish League MVP
    Francis, former 3 time all-star, still a good scorer
    James--good scorer and shooter
    Brooks, only rookie point guard on Team Select, sensational in summer league
    Adelman

    kept Bonzi, who gave the Spurs problems 2 years ago
    resigned Mutombo
    resigned Hayes
    extended Head

    and got rid of:
    Juwan
    Vspan
    Tsak

    Talk about reloading while keeping our core....even our important core backup players like Mutombo. Juwan was the weak link in our front line defensively, so I didn't mind losing him. Vspan's sour attitude contrasted to our good guy lockerrom air. Out with whining Vspan, in with Scola "i'll do anything for the team. Last year, only the Spurs really held up their end in terms of being the power in the west. This year, the Texas Triangle is a lot more even talent wise.

    What? he is going to return Spurs for another year after he decided to not go to the Dallas. I do not think there is any new move in him.

    Best Yogi-ism of the Day! A capper! A corker! :D

    Apologies, SWTsig, I just cut the lawn and I'm still high on the smell of grass. I read that and my mind was instantly boggled! Thanks. :) Just noticed, I'm about to become a 4400!

    I believe the Rockets are going to win the division and may even have the best overall record. I know, I know, I am a homer. It's just the team has so many good players, like 10 deep. I can't wait.

    you know something would be very interesting?

    2008 All-star, last year we got Yao, Tmac, and Battier on the ballot.

    Do you guys think this year we could see:

    SF, Well, Tmac, Battier, Scola, and Yao all on the ballot? we could protentially have a full rockets for the all-star!!!

    Maybe we should start telling the Chinese Fans to cast their votes for them.

    maybe Yi vs Yao in All-star

    not all rookies are on the ballot, especially 2nd rounders like scola.

    i doubt wells will be on the ballot either, even steve may not be on it since he played a backup role last year.

    I think it will be tough for Tracy to get open under Adelman, but under JVG it was tougher. T-Mac had to score and be a playmaker at the same time. He had 3 plays:

    1) T-Mac has the ball, Yao gives him a pick, Tracy draws a double-team and has to pass the ball

    2) Tracy posts up, pulls up for well contested jumper, drives to the basket or passes the ball

    3) Tracy comes off the pick from Battier (without the ball) and shoots the jumper (my favourite play last season)

    That's all
