Ron Artest set for deal to Rockets (w/link)

[Nate505]

I have a hard time injecting value into a person's opinion who has not been within a 300+ mile radius of a championship trophy.

Allegedly, the Rocket's fodder status is not nurturing enough to propel the Jazz to championship form. Such a pity.

Maybe one day you can lecture us on the merits of success, but until your team actually accomplishes anything of worth, I suggest you take a seat in the back.

Rocket fans might be the only fans I've ever seen hold on to Championship achievements made over a decade ago.

I have never heard Bronco fans today go on and on about the two Superbowls they won a decade ago. Bulls fans here don't go on and on about the two 3-peats they had. I never hear Royals fan's yack about the World Series they won in 1985. I never hear Warrior fans beat their chest about the three championships their franchise won. I don't hear the Knicks fans here wax philosophically about the championships their team won in the 70's.

Jazz fans are one of the few teams in any sport I have seen declare themselves a "successful franchise" without actually accomplishing anything.

Goes both ways I suppose.

I'm sure every team in the league shakes in fear at the possibility of seeing a Tracy McGrady led team in the first round.

Probably about as much as they all shake in fear at the possibility of meeting the Jazz in the Finals.

They have not only survived but have done well for themselves in one of the least attractive free agent markets in the league, and have fallen under .500 all of once in the past 20 years. But success is a rather subjective term.

If I ever say "pray you don't meet the Jazz in the Finals" I'll consider that to be somewhat relevant.

I love the Jazz. I'm going to go on a limb here, and see if I can turn some Jazz fans to be nice to the Rockets. I'm gonna start following Jazz games and start giving them props. It's worth a try.

That is kind of like getting first in the Special Olmypics. It is great that you won the gold, but you are still (Please Use More Appropriate Word) in the end...

Sorry, was too tempting.

Its cool that you are proud of your team, I can respect that. Shoot, I am a Warriors fan afterall...I don't have any beef with you. Carry on Nate

We don't beat our chests about our championships to everybody. We only beat them to you Jazz fans and Mavs fans.

As always, Batronuj is too lily livered to respond and thus Big bro Nate captain-save-a-ho's his way to the rescue.

Good representation of your team fellas

He's a Laker fan, I think.

Jordan feared those Rockets. If I can find the video, I can show it to you. It's somewhere on Youtube.

Unless one person can PM me and give me at least one good logical reason why this thread should remain open, this topic will remained locked. It is quite pathetic that certain posters have so much hostility towards another team. It is an utter crapfest when all that is being discussed is "why my team is better than your team". Grow up all of you.
