No wonder you got banned. How do you know we don't play ball? I do, and I'm sure a good number of people on this site are ballers too. My guess is you're one of those guys on the court who just keeps jackin' threes, ignoring your teammates, and runnin' your mouth the whole while...then you go sit down after you lose. It's fine to disagree on this site, but be careful of ignorant posts like your last one. As for your argument about Kenny, you have some good points but went a bit overboard. I like watching guys like Kenny hustle for rebounds and work hard to beat larger PFs, too. But, face it, Kenny put up his numbers last year as the only decent frontcourt player on this roster. On a team with talent, he'll return to being a role player, a garbage man who can come in and provide a boost off the bench. This is valuable, and I'd love to see him as a Malik Rose or Corliss Williamson type player. Kenny was the only frontcourt option last year, but this year we'll have Ming, Eddie, and Mo there instead. I'm not quite sure why your trippin' on Eddie. He's 20 yrs old, and he's got more basketball ability than anyone else from that draft. He's got better size, better shot-blocking, better outside shooting, and he hits the boards just as hard as KT. He's not quite there yet, but anybody who knows ball can see the talent and blossoming of his game. And from the sounds of it, he's worked hard to bulk up this summer and improve his inside game. The situation at the 4 sucks for Kenny, but Eddie's gonna be something special, and we should continue to build on the foundation of Francis, Ming and Eddie for the future.
I hope Clutch replies so we can see what post this dude was talking about. I bet he said something that deserved banning, then he tries to pass it off as not being aloud to have a difference of opinion. Reminds of Nuggzfan. I like Kenny, but this dude is all on his jock, giving him nicknames and what not(Mad Dawg???????).
This is what I posted to get banned: Why would anyone want to play in Houston with fans like this. First it was trade Kenny Thomas because he is a tweener and he has trade value. Then it was trade Cuttino because he shot his mouth off about Odom. Now it's trade Francis. No loyalty, its disgusting, but that's the way you "people" are. This was clutch reply before he banned me: Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way back to the ESPN boards. Nice, Clutch can have his boys club. Nothing anyone says on these boards will have any affect on what the Rockets management does. Nothing Kenny does on the floor will change any of your minds. I remeber I posted that the Rockets should bring back Othella and someone posted that Kenny had more potential and was better, that was 3 years ago. One day you "people" will say the same about some other 20 year old and that Griffin sucks. One last thing someone said Kenny is not fast enough to play the 3, and Rice is?
Drama Queen alert! Calm down and stick around for awhile still-ill. Opposing opinions are always welcome as long as you aren't attacking making personal attacks or trolling for attention. Just tone it down and don't ask to be banned. If Kenny can be a quality 3 in the new motion offense, I would love to keep him around for a while. However, the salary cap is an issue, and we will probably have to move or let go him or MoT at some point. It all depends on Kenny, really. He has to prove that he is necessary.
Yeah, but this wasn't a response to someone else disagreeing with you...you actually started a brand new thread just to simply say this. You said Rockets fans are disgusting...they show no loyalty...you lump everyone on the board together...and then you put "people" in quotes. There's a difference between expressing your opinion about basketball and taking personal shots at an entire message board. But I understand how you could get confused, trolls can't seem to make that distinction.
I don't think they will let him go, and I think they will sign him to an extension. Rudy's new motion offense just made the 3 position fit KT a lot better. KT at 6'7 and Rice at 6'8" have varied games and different looks at the 3 that this off picks and cutting style will help. KT is not a catch and shoot 3, and even Rice said that this really wasn't his style either. Motion and picks are going help each of them get their O. In addition, in a motion offense the 3-4 are somewhat blended together so this should fit KT's talents better and make him more valuble to the team off the bench than in the old spread it out, isolate, and stand around offense. KT is not a 3 point line, kick it out 3. They should sign him for a starting pay of around 4.5 mil and 10% escalate over 3 years. He'll be worth that and it will make him feel wanted and work even harder.
He's right, it's not like Kelvin Cato, Glen Rice, Mo Taylor, eddie Griffin, Cuttino Mobley and Yao Ming worked their asses off this summer like KT. They were all just sittin at home. KT is not what this team needs. KT will be the 3rd best PF and the 3rd best SF on this team come playoff time. Griffin will be the man, Mo T will get his timing back, Glen Rice is already looking great and will be even better, Boki will have shown us flashes of his brilliance and will start to make a more consistent effort after shaking off a rookie wall. THEN where does KT fit in? People like you get the idea that we hate. It's not that. He's just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not anyone's fault. As a 3rd string SF/PF, I'd rather have an equaly hard working T-Mo, who had better size and athleticism. Oh, not to mention he has a tiny contract, while KT will be demanding 4-5M a year or so.
