What Rockets player past or present did you dislike?

Pippen's not just my most hated Rocket; he's my most hated player. Even over any Jazz player.

 

Also, I love some of the crazy loudmouth troublemakers other people hate (Ron Ron, Barkley, Mad Max). They played as nasty as they acted and they made the game a lot more fun to watch.

 

when he came to houston he never left the ground.


we gave up horry and cassel, and we didnt even get phoenix suns barkley.

 

Now I see why people called me brian_chapman in that thread.

 

brian cook and mike james...by far

 

TITCReam.

 

Also Matt Maloney. I really hated that guy for some reason.

 

Scottie Quitten. No contest.

F that guy. It's a travesty that he is now in the Hall of Fame.

 

Oh yeah, who can forget the spin doctors. maybe that's why the Rockets seemed to get into fights all the time. What's hard for me is that when they came back they stunk.
It's like Chevy Chase, after he quit the dummy dust he just wasn't funny any more.

 

Charles Barkley

I never really could compute that he was a Rocket. Although he was right, Malone set an awful moving pick to end that series.

I guess I was just always kinda upset we traded Cassell and Horry for him. I always thought that was a big mistake.

 

Brent price, Pippen, Shandon Anderson and Antoine Carr.

 

Barkley took a huge paycut for the rockets to sign Pippen. in the series against the lakers he was huge in game 1 and game 3 where he had 30 points and 20 boards from what i remember.In the Jazz series and the sonic series he was huge. He was the reason we finally beat the sonics.

 

Anderson, Shandon
Artest, Ron
Baker, Vin
Barkley, Charles
Bullard, Matt
Carr, Antoine
Howard, Juwan
James, Mike
Kunnert, Kevin
Posey, James
Swift, Stromile
Weatherspoon, Clarence

Most of these players would fit into the following categories,

1. They couldn't get it done as Rockets, didnt live up to expectations

2. Didn't fit into what I percieved as the Culture.

3. Let the franchise down...
Kevin Kunnert--Getting into a fight that led to "The Punch"
Matt Bullard I like as a person and as an announcer, I just cant forgive him for his awful performance in game 2 of the 94 finals...

4. Or I associate them as an enemy combatant..Looking at you "Antoine Carr" and "Shandon Anderson" I don't want anyone associated with the Jazz.

 

Bullard was money with his jumpers. How can you not like him. Another guy i disliked were Sam Mack who thought he was the best primeter shooter in history and Bryce Drew.

 

I agree about Carr. Those Oakley repugnant glasses he used to wear were so annoying.

 

Ron Artest, lets just say he took out a couple of teams i was rooting for in the playoff which i betted money on . And I just dont like his play style at all

 

Brent Price, David Wesley, Pig Miller..................

David Wesley was a JVG type player, undersized slow & nothing on offense. We traded Jim Jackson for Wesley and I HATED that.

 

In all fairness, Jim Jackson was nothing special as a Rocket, but he seemed to think he was an all-star.

 

I have never wanted to wish violent injury upon a player who borrowed our jersey than Quitten. And I mean violent. Like get hit by a car, get both knees bent backwards and lose an eye in the process.

MerGady was a close second, but he was already injured 75% of the time.

I blame Francis for the Toyota Center's depth perception problems since he claims he built it. Thanks for building such a craphole of an arena, goober.

 

Luther Head. Ugh.
