Thanks Bobcats. I want to see all the Francis apologists go into a full tailspin on the Rockets forum I go to. That should be fun.

If there is one groups of people on this forum who can understand what Charlotte went through, it's Houston fans. They had the same raw deal with the NFL as we had with the NBA. Thankfully the fans were rewarded with a new team.

 

[Bowser]

BOBCATS WIN BITCHES!!

Brezec 20 pts/10 reb
Okafor 12 pts/14 reb
Wallace 18 pts/10 reb
Hart 14 pts/11 ast

FOUR DOUBLE DOUBLES BITCHES!!

 

[Miguel]

Yeah, it's almost exactly the same situation.

Owner an asshole
"New stadium or we move"
City doesn't budge cause of asshole owner.
Etc..etc.


Only difference is NBA wanted a team in Charlotte.
NFL wanted a team in LA...and gave LA every fucking opportunity to have a team. Houston was finally given the team after years and years of proposals that clearly outdid whatever LA had come up with. LA could never get their shit together.

Plus, I have interest in the Bobcats cause of Brezec. I took him as my backup center...but since it's a Points per minute type league...he may get the nod over Yao.

That's a very important distinction actually. Without LA's apathy, Houston would not have an NFL team.

 

[Miguel]

so...in conclusion.

Thank you Bobcats for shutting up the Francis Apologists.
Thank you Brezec for getting me some points in fantasy.
Thank you Los Angeles for being a collective group of imbeciles. The Texans thank you.

 

[Truelize]

WOW!! Wade was the man tonight.

MIN FG% FT% 3PM REB AST STL BLK PTS
SG Dwyane Wade, Mia @Was 43, 11/16, 14/16, 1, 8, 12, 1, 0, 37

That is just freakin crazy.

I'm guessing you go to www.clutchfans.net forums and it looks like they charge to register So if that is the site you go to, would you mind posting some of the funnier reactions to Francis' night? It'd be appreciated

TWOLVES WIN TWOLVES WIN!

Yes, guys, the Bobcats are world killers now. Anyway, 1 win down, 10 more to go.

:lol

At least we don't get blown out by the Clippers.

 

[Incognito]

At least they don't play in Charlotte...

...okay?

 

[Miguel]

Bowser: You don't have to pay to register...but during high traffic times (4th quarter + 1-2 hours after the game) the forum is blocked off to non-contributing members.

Oh yeah, I'll post some comments on Francis.

 

[Shoryuken]

Phoenix Suns 3-0. We've been playing really well this season, but we haven't really played good teams (except maybe Philadelphia). We won't see where we stack up until we start facing the big guns of the East (Detroit, Miami, Philadelphia) or the West (Spurs, Timberwolves, Mavericks). Hopefully we can keep the momentum going.

 

[Miguel]

CHARLUE WAAAAAAAAARD! BACK TO BACK 3s!

 

[DJ_Tet]

...okay?

Don't worry about him. He wouldn't know what it's like to be a true hometown fan.

 

[Bowser]

Utah looks fucking scary as hell this season...

 

[DJ_Tet]

Oh yeah, forgot this caveat for Houston fans.

When "The Franchise" fouled out, he promptly walked off the court directly to the locker room. Do not check with your coach, do not collect $200. What a loser.

Doesn't surprise me. :\ Francis needs to grow the fuck up...he can be a great player, he has tons of talent, but he's got the IQ of a freaking gatorade cooler.

 

[Miguel]

YAO! YAO! YAO! YAO!!!

THUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH ROCKETS WIN!!!!!!!
THUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH ROCKETS WIN!!!!!!!
THUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH ROCKETS WIN!!!!!!!
THUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH ROCKETS WIN!!!!!!!

 

[Fifty]

Yipes. AK 47 has only 7 rebounds.......But 8 blocks. It should be a good race between him and Ratliff for the blocking title. Too bad my boys Camby and K Mart are getting blown out, my fantasy team is sad....but I've got to hand it to Utah, they look amazing.

fixed.

God damn former Knicks players! You are SUPPOSED to be useless!

:lol :lol :lol

 

[All Hail C-Webb]

:lol :lol :lol

:lol

The Kings got beat today, but they are looking better with each game. Early season NBA games just don't seem very exciting this year, I'm sure it'll pick up when the playoff pcture starts taking shape. They should cut the season length in half, and have 2 seasons per year, that would be hot.

 

[Miguel]

Yeah, Kings look good...but Rockets looked better.

Man...Yao fucking went OFF. Only NINE turnovers for Houston in an overtime game? What's that I hear? Yes...yes...FUCK YOU Steve Francis.

 

[bishoptl]

<bish_SanAndreas> didn't Orlando LOSE to the Bobcats?
<MiG_AlmostOld> bish YES
<MiG_AlmostOld>
<bish_SanAndreas>
<bish_SanAndreas> FUCK YOU STEVE FRANCIS
<bish_SanAndreas> down in history, you piece of shit
<DMczaf> LOL
<bish_SanAndreas> I hope they write that on his tombstone

"Sorry folks."

"No he did not just touch my booby"

"Damn son you looking good in yellow"

Btw to all the Yao haters .....SUCK A BIG ONE!

 

[Guzim]

"Yes."

 

[Miguel]

"Yes."

Reggie in street clothes? I don't think I've EVER seen that.

[Malleymal]

my nightly appreciation of my Jazz continue... I knew that we would be pretty good this year, I just didnt think we would be able to click this soon, especially without our point guards... I should have know though because Jerry Sloan never runs a loose ship, so the guys have no choice but to perform...

Boozer...
Ak- 47....
Okur...
Raja Damn Bell....
Mcleod???.....

I want to see what we have against some of the big dogs in the league, but I think Denver was a good test... we got them again on monday..

 

[Miguel]

SHUT UP YOU GUYS! :'(

Quit ruining the image of one of my favorite players.

On another note...




[Carmelo Anthony] missed 11 of his 13 shots in the first half, including a second-quarter airball in front Utah's bench as the Jazz yelled "shoot, shoot!"


:lol

 

[mariohat]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what is wrong with the nuggets?
they are one of the best on paper?

My diagnosis: a good slap to carmelo's head on takin so many J's instead of his best move(driving to the hoop).

Don't say he can't either, cuz despite his weak shite against KG(a bad mofo), melo can get to the hoop. like that time he crossed up corliss williamson

But yes your reasons please

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i think Carmelo's definately having a problem with "J's", but just not the kind you have in mind.

 

[mariohat]

^^ lol

knicks owned by celtics tonight

It's not enough that Kobe's infatuation with white meat continues, now he wants to add some latin flavor to it.

Ok, now I'm starting to think these photographers are doing this on purpose

 

[DJ_Tet]

At least they don't play in Charlotte...

Whatever you say San Antonian.

 

[Matlock]

Oh god, haha...I'm going to have to remember to archive the homoerotic NBA images this time around...only one I saved from last year is Ram Cassell, and that's on my home PC.

The Passion of the T-Mac!

Holy shit, every jobber in the NBA came out for this picture. Juwann Howard, Greg Ostertag, Lil' Bow Wow...

"I'll suck yo' dick man!" "NO, AI, GODDAMNIT. NO."

"Incognito's in the stands? I'll fuckin' kill him!"

Shaq spies a bowl of pudding...

"What's with the brown basketball?"
"That's your kid's head, jackass."

And, no thread could be complete without...

"I PLAYED A GAME, YAY!"

 

[Shinobi]

:lol

Deke with 6 blocks. :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

And yet McDyess still beat him with nine blocks. :lol

At least we don't get blown out by the Clippers.

There have been some ridiculous lines posted this week...wonder if it's a sign of things to come. Wade's statline tonight was simply ridiculous. BTW, :lol @ Orlando...that had to hurt (they were down by like 20 at one point).

Raptors play the Blazers later today at 12:30pm on their home floor. A win gives them a 3-0 start, which is just what they need with the west coast trip from hell starting Tuesday in Sactown. Funniest thing about the first two wins is that Vince hasn't done much of anything offensively, though he's played a pretty solid all 'round game to this point.

 

[DJ_Tet]

lol @ Tyronne Lue being called Lil Bow Wow!

 

[DJ_Tet]

BTW, :lol @ Orlando...that had to hurt (they were down by like 20 at one point).

It was 70-48 btw

The Magic, a FELLOW expansion team (like the Heat, Hornets, Timberwolves, Raptors, and Grizzlies) lost to the Bobcats first.

A little bit of useless trivia from a huge former Charlotte Hornet fan: When the Hornets left Charlotte they had a winning record against every other expansion team in the league (modern team like listed above).

I'm a sucker for stupid stats like that. Orlando is the only new expansion team in the league that's made it to the Finals, just like the Panthers beat the Jags and Texans to the Super Bowl.

Hey now, what's this about the Panthers beating the Texans?

"I don't think so Tim..."

Andre's got something to say about that...

"BOOM"

"GIMME BALL! GIMME BALL!"

"FIFTEEN TEN FIVE...ROCK AND ROLL! TOUCHDOWN!"








Sorry...had to.

 

[Miguel]

'Right behind Shaq'
The Mavericks don't just have a center. Erick Dampier is, according to Erick Dampier, the best center in the Western Conference.

Some — including 1.3 billion experts in China — might argue.

Regardless, Dampier said he is the second-best center in the NBA, allowing Shaquille O'Neal an edge.

"I consider myself right behind Shaq," Dampier said. "Some people are going to say top three, but personally, I consider myself the second best."

 

[Ripclawe]

I guess wade was a little pissed off

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/10120677.htm?1c

Not only did Wade have to carry the Heat's scoring load with O'Neal in foul trouble, he also had to prove Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas wrong.

Arenas had said Wade couldn't shoot and that he was no Kobe Bryant. So Wade scored a career-high 37 points, dished out a career-high 12 assists and grabbed eight rebounds in leading the Heat to a 118-106 win at the MCI Center. Included in those 37 points were four outside jumpers, including a three-pointer. No, Wade is no Kobe Bryant. He's something else.

"Damn.. You see the bitties on her in the front row?"
"uh huh..."

 

[Shinobi]

:lol When's Arenas gonna learn to quit running his fucking mouth? Run the team instead you idiot.
