I'm afraid you use the term internet thug a little too freely. The example you posted is nothing thuggish at all.
Sitting behind a computer screen and constantly berating McGrady, when you know he doesn't respond to criticism like a Kobe would, sounds pretty e-thuggish to me. Yeah he's a mental pansy but we honestly don't know what's going on that makes his mind write checks his body can't cash, it could be something more than the knee that he hasn't figured out yet. We've all seen him out there, he's been a fragment of his old self, so there's no point beating on him when he's down. As for the main point on Rafer it's pretty much what Jonathan Feigen said in his latest blog. That dude is known for paraphrasing my posts.
I know Morey is gushing over Lowry right now, but this trade isn't necessarily a reproach of Alston and his ability. I'd say the decision was made because McGrady's status has taken the Rockets out of the championship hunt. If McGrady was healthy and playing, I doubt Alston would be gone, even if Morey thought it would be an upgrade in the long term.
Lol at the people saying Lowry can't be good because he played backup for a bad team... You all should look up Von Wafer's background in the NBA. It's not about where you've been, it's about where you're at. You guys remember Ariza was once a scrub now a solid contributor to the Lakers. It really doesn't matter if Lowry played for a bad team, it's entirely possible that his coach was stupid enough to not realize the talent he had.
I know right? Rafer was by far the most criticized Rocket until Tmac exploded. I don't understand the sudden change. Like i said before, I think its because of the good Lasting impression he provided.
peeps on this board do change their mind quick. I mean come on who doesn't pray every time Rafer shoot the three or does that crazy tear drop he makes 20% of the time. he had his chance and didn't work, its time to move on for the better of this rockets team. sign, m&m
