    The dudes nickname before being banned was VanGundier, you should not be surprised.

    Disguised? More like one post making a small joke on a subject some people feel particularly sensitive about.

    Fact #2: Among all the rockets in this team as of today, Courtney Lee is the ONLY ONE who has ever won a NBA game in the month of June.

    The blessing of Courtney? Hmm...

    only if we win a game in June or else this will not be a blessing.

    Let's put some more caveats in there...

    0-14 in November:

    - except when coached by a fat Van Gundy (is that politically incorrect? sorry if it offends anyone)

    - except when a teammate of Rashard Lewis

    - except when playing 8 or more games at Amway Arena

    - except when taking 1 or less free throws in the entire month.

    ____

    I can't see the Rockets ticking all those boxes - so it seems quite obvious that we will be 0-17 by the end of the month.

    I never said Courtney Lee dooms the Rockets for the entire season, he just dooms the Rockets for the months of October. Good thing most games played in October are preseason games.

    The curse of Courtney for October may indeed turn into a blessing in the skies or man are from heaven for the later part of the season.

    I totally hooked up with this hot ass girl named Bryce the other night. She was all like "oh mlwoo. sexy sexy."

    I was like "oh yea Bryce! super sexy sexy."

    She had a penis.

    lol nice stat for the stat heads

    Also, Courtney missed that wide open last second shot that would have tied the Orlando Magics with the Lakers during the finals. Misses like that haunt a player forever.

    Courtney also came from a losing team and is used to the losing mentality.

    With all these and more, I'm sill surprised Morey and his moneyball approach thought Courtney was a good fit for this team

    Courtney Lee plays best when he is next to a scorer.

    Courtney Lee is now on a personal 21 game losing streak for the months of October and November.

    It's a 23 game losing streak in the months of October and November without a Van Gundy as a coach.
