Insulting Scottie Pippen is not only welcomed, but encouraged here, so you've really hurt no one. But in the future, barking about how your 23 wins this season was "almost as many" as the 31 the Rockets had in 1998-99 <I>might</I> be effective..... if that Rocket season wasn't a strike-shortened 50-game campaign.
Isn't this great? The Ming-Bradley comparison is like a litmus test for this BBS, if you make it, we know that you don't know a damn thing about basketball, and you're opinion should therefore not be considered. This makes things so much easier than actually having to consider the entirety of the person's post.
I think maybe he's referring to Steve Francis, hence the "Jr.", and our comparative win totals for LAST year. I know, I thought he was referring to the strike season at first, also. No offense taken. I'm a big Francis fan, but I know if I were a Grizz fan, I'd hate him, too. But I'm not. And despite the speculation and gossip on this board, he really hasn't done anything disloyal to the team since coming here.
I'm sorry, did you just misread a dis of Steve Francis? "aka Scottie Pippen Jr aka Mr Migraine" You really read that as Scottie Pippen? Some of you guys are out of practice with these trolls. Why not just stick to reminding him that he could have had Swift Pau Gasol Shane Battier Steve Francis Mike Bibby had they hired Jerry West long time ago. It is very easy to bash a grizzlie.
So you think he was talking about Scottie Pippen, too? Good grief, he's comparing Jason Williams to "your Mr. Everything aka Scottie Pippen Jr. aka Mr. Migraine.. " Why would he compare a PG to Scottie, and why would he refer to Scottie as Scottie <b>Jr</b> He is clearly calling Francis a whiner for crying about Vancouver just like Scottie whined about Houston. Step down...let me handle this troll. MemphisX, You still haven't told me which lineup you like better: Swift Pau Vince Carter Shane Battier Steve Francis or Swift Pau Shane Battier Steve Francis Mike Bibby or Swift Shareef Vince Carter Jason Richardson Steve Francis
I think that's the question some of us are trying to answer since Francis (a PG) is being called Scottie. And since Scottie had just one season to go by after being aquired by the Rockets, like Williams to the Grizz, and is well known for his past migraines, it's a confusing, and pretty stupid, insult attempt. Should have caught the "Jr." though.
How appropriate, a smart Rocket fan. Notice he thinks the Grizzlies would have continued in the lottery even with Mr. Migraine. Enjoy the lottery next year? We will be using your lottery pick next year and we will enjoy it. The MemphisX guarantee....Memphis finishes ahead of Houston in the Midwest next season. Both of us will be contending for the last playoff spot in the West. However, next season everyone will be talking about how the Rockets blew it, especially when Yao doesn't get to the States until after Halloween.
The Griz don't have a chance in hell of making the playoffs next year. I thought we had the weekest front line in the NBA until I looked at the Griz's roster. Man you guy's are light years from the playoff's. You should of taking our #15 this year because the next time we will have a pick that high the Griz will probably be in the playoffs.
What is funny, is that we are all so rusty with these Grizzlie fans, because none of us would have guessed another would actually show up again after Francis won ROY, AND THEY LOST THE LOTTERY!!! Hey, MemphisX, Who do you think Jerry West would take with that #1 that you were hoping to win! mwahahahahahaha So, do you think he can fit Dunleavy or Butler into the mix. hehehehe!! I guess it is hometown Woods for you....that should help you make the lottery again next year, for sure. also, do you think Jerry West would trade Dickerson and Othella for Lamar Odom or Steve Francis?? How's Dickerson doing anyhow? The only reason you think you will be ahead of us is because you like the team that the lottery built over and over again...and rebuilt even, and that once again you have the #3. Once again, all your hopes are on the draft and potential. And it still sucks. It is very easy to say "we don't need Mr ROY Francis" when you got Swift and Pau/Battier out of endless losing for trading away a ROY. Besides, had Jerry West been GM on the Francis draft (before Stevie played one game) you'd be looking at a nucleus of: Shareef Vince Carter Steve Francis or Shareef Francis Bibby or Shareef Odom Bibby or Shareef Carter Odom And you are correct, you probably would never have sucked so bad to be able to get Pau, Swift, and Battier and STILL no better than ever before. boy, you guys suck BAAAD! No matter how you slice the Francis Draft.
None of those guys make a difference. Other than Carter(legitimate) none of those players have led a team to the playoffs AND they all expect to get or have gotten max contracts.
So, Bibby (yeah right), Shareef, Odom, Francis and Vince and Pierce and Nowitzki don't make a difference, but Pau all of a sudden does? All those guys you passed over or took and traded for nothing but role players!!! So, you admit to making many bad picks in previous years. Oh,,,,now I get it. You are from Memphis and never liked the Vancouver previously. Ahhh, now I understand. You still don't realize that you have no center, SG or PG that "makes a difference" and Battier is not a difference maker. Too bad you drop to #3 in this draft.... tough luck.
And Houston has not Sg, SF, PF or C that makes a difference. No I remeber Bibby being here and Grizzlies wining jack squat. Shareef went to Atlanta and they won squat. Odom has won squat. Francis has won squat. Vince is a given. As is Pierce and Dirk. Hell but we drafted Bibby that year. Its not like we took Jason Collier or something
So, you admit Francis makes a difference and you traded him for squat. I thought you completely denied this earlier! gotcha! yeah Babe!! I don't see the Rockets screwing up top 3 picks versus stealing years. This is twice now. We stole Francis from you, and we leap frogged your position this year. mwahahahahahaha
I admit he is talented and makes a difference, yes. However, he needs to lead you guys into the playoffs and stay healthy before it become an outright theft. Also, I am from Memphis and had no interest in the Vancouver Grizzlies(like most). So to my eyes you are bringing up ancient history.
You do know that Jerry West only took this job based on the 50% chance he'd be able to pick Jay Williams or Ming. Tough luck, dude.
Do you have a link to that? I doubt that's the case since the Grizzlies already have Gasol and Battier and were guaranteed a high draft spot but I have been wrong before. On another note, I am still wondering why on earth the Grizzels traded Bibby for White Chocolate. Was it the elbow pass in that one all-star game or are they trying to copy the old Celtics with a hoard of white players? White = $??? Williams is all show. *shrugs*
