The Only Team in Texas:


With the playoffs begining today, I thought I would set the record straight by stating the painfully obvious.

Considering I'm not a native Texan, I'll just side with you on this one 'cause you probably need the support. ;-)

I checked out that pendulum theory--nice stuff. Very intriguing!

Thanks, I'm a little outnumbered in the metroplex...

I checked out that pendulum theory

I'm not entirely sure how last week's Desmond episode fits into the theory...

Yea, the rockets have a 7'6 immobile Asian man and conceited 3 guard and haven't won anything in a decade. Good luck. MAVS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

being that I have no clue about most things sports I tend to let the Name or mascot dictate who i think will win, based on the understanding that if the two teams mascots were to fight the winner of that would logically be the winner of the sports match.... a demonstation in the line up in question...

Maverick:
Pronunciation: 'mav-rik, 'ma-v&-
Function: noun
Etymology: Samuel A. Maverick died 1870 American pioneer who did not brand his calves
1 : an unbranded range animal; especially : a motherless calf
2 : an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party

This is a pioneer some one that might have some fight in him.. okay, and also not afraid to cheat alittle.

SPUR:
Pronunciation: 'sp&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English spure, from Old English spura; akin to Old English spurnan to kick -- more at SPURN
1 a : a pointed device secured to a rider's heel and used to urge on the horse

this is a hard won because a maverick could be a horse in which a spur is in control of but an untaimed house such as a "maverick wouldn't bend to a "Spur" so I think the Maverick would out out do a spur...

Rocket:
a jet engine that operates on the same principle as the firework rocket, consists essentially of a combustion chamber and an exhaust nozzle, carries either liquid or solid propellants which provide the fuel and oxygen needed for combustion and thus make the engine independent of the oxygen of the air, and is used especially for the propulsion of a missile (as a bomb or shell) or a vehicle (as an airplane)

so if that is a rocket then I think it would easily defeat a spur since all a spur would do is cause a spark and make the rocket burst into flames.... but a Mavrick is a person and would easily be able to defuse the rocket or at least take the fuel out of it... and if a Maverick is an animal then it would be able to pee on the fuse of the rocket and defeat it that way.... so the results would be

1ST MAVS
2ND Rockets
3RD SPURS

and who can argue with facts like this....

thanks,

I think your key word here is "logically"...And brilliant logic it is...

You're logic is untouchable until that last little bit. You've failed to realize that all the "rocket" would have to do as the "maverick" is attempting to diffuse him (by technical or urinary means) is remind him that he is a motherless calf and the poor chap would find the nearest pouting bench to sit upon, and that would be the end of that (as the rocket soars over his head)...

A wise man indeed, you are...

Ched,
Yes I am a Rocket fan, however I am more a Maverich fan simply because of where I grew up.
As much as I like the Mavericks and would like to see Dirk and Avery, they will not be the ones who will win the West. The Rockets will be the ones who will be the real contenders for a ring next year.
My friend and former mentor John Patterson will have a direct effect on success of the Rockets. Sit back and ENJOY next season! Read the following article found in the Sporting News.
