    Yeah, what kind of Rockets fans am I getting attached to a star player that played his heart out for us for 5 straight seasons, hardly missing a game, getting co-ROY, 3 all-star appearances, getting into the playoffs his last season, and once being the only hope this team seemed to have.

    And now that we see a NEW hope - however far-fetched it still is - we dump him out of the blue like he was never anything to us, and he complains oh-so-unjustly. Just who does he think he is???

    Why bother hating him if he asked to be traded from his own team because he thinks he's too good for them, or if he raped the girl he cheated on his wife with, or if he got caught 5 times with mar1juana in his car, or if he was skipping practices all the time cuz he's "too good" to need them, or if he was b****ing to the coach about not getting to start after an injury, or if he was getting into locker-room fights with his teammates, or if he was b****ing off the court with teammates, or if he was refusing to shoot in a game after a little inner-team feud, or if he was shooting at his ex with a gun, or if he choked his coach, or if he got ejected from every other game, or if he was an alcoholic who refused to get help, or if he was a free agent and left us after saying he would stay, or if he dumped the Olympics for "rest" or "security reasons", or if he was a lazy b*stard with no work ethic or passion.

    No, screw that, let's hate him because he gave us everything he had but it wasn't enough for us, and THEN let's hate him even MORE when he says he wants to stay with the team he started his career with even though he'll get more attention on the team he would be traded to, and saying this could cost him his dignity.

    Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

    Even if there are alterior motives for Steve protesting, which there might be, it is CLEAR that he wanted to stay with us, and that's admirable, especially given all the painful criticism he was taking from the city and from the league.

    Poopheads.

    hey....you're on a roll....

    1. calling out the site's owner and administrator in his own thread....i think you called him "god" in a mocking fasion? nice one

    2. getting a thread shut down for profanity and pointless comments

    3. reasserting pointless comments directed at other posters without the profanity this time.

    i'm guessing we won't be seeing you much very soon....so let me be the first to wish you happy mcgrady rooting for next season. bye, now!

    Way to represent RocketGuy3. I agree with everything you said about Steve. Besides some of my post thats one of the best post I have ever seen on this board.

    Steve, I thought after you talked to Weisbrod last night that you had made peace with the trade and were ready to go to Orlando. That's what your agents said. And now you come on here with this rant?

    We love you man....we just love the better player more. Good luck and say hello to the mouse.

    MadMax, why are my comments pointless?

    Oh, that's right, because you disagree with them.

    GENIUS!

    Can we ban this guy already.


    Sure Steve has a right to say what he wants....no one hates him.

    You on the other hand.....

    because your whole post is meant to attack other posters. not, here's my case..let me build it for you....but by calling out a group of people you choose to call "haters" and then calling them a-holes...right after mocking the guy who set up the website to begin with.

    good work. i'm not the genuis..it's all you, man. run with it!

    my reply from the MA - rated thread


    no - he just skips a Conference game to go to the superbowl

    that being said, I think that most people in the city like Steve Francis and did not want to activly shop him around.... BUT when you get a chance at a future hall of famer (yes - I said it) like T-mac, you have to pull the trigger. Francis needs the ball too much to have an impact - and he had 5 years to do it in Houston - he will be missed, but we have to move on -

    as for the Olympics - well... considering that TWO players on the WORLD CHAMPS backed out (even though their COACH is heading up the team) - lets cut T-mac some slack - I have always been in favor of letter the guys who WANT to play... try out (instead of the "invite" garbage)

    Thank you, I know. Oh, and I forgot the final snippet from my last thread:

    "(BTW, interesting how the scapegoat changes so conveniently after Rudy gets fired. You people always get what you want. Who will be your target next year when we're gone in the first round again???)"

    I'm a Rocket fan. Not a SF or Yao or... If CD traded all the players for the Warriors, I'd rant about what is going on, take a big sigh, and hope that we make some trades for the right pieces.

    IMO, Steve was not the right fit for this team. I'm not sure McGrady is but I'm excited about the prospects.

    Is MagicGuy3 taken yet?

    Our guy has been pretty good,
    maybe top 5 at his position.
    We are glad for what he has done here.
    We hold no ill will.
    We do not want to dish him at all.

    But we must trade Vlade Divac to get Kobe Bryant.

    My only hope is that Steve Francis takes his fans with him.
