It's going too far when you hope a city loses a team.



When did I hope it? Just ask any outside observer and they would've said the same thing. Seattle is a basketball crazed town that lost its team unfairly because it couldn't supply a new arena on time. The Hornets struggled to draw crowds until late in one of their very best seasons (attendance benchmarks).

Fear, L.A. isn't the same as LA. I'm here, he's posting from there.

If you browse Clutchfans, they like the Pelicans and AD.



I pull for the Pellies when they aren't playing the Rockets.

when Rockets fans wouldn't even care about the Pelicans on this board otherwise
a rocket fan caring about the pelicans is the reason pelicans fans troll rockets fans on here. y'all quit pretending like there is this whole conspiracy type hatred. it's very simple

Legitimately pissed off?

I don't think I've ever been "legitimately pissed off" because of something I read on the internet in my entire life

We bring more to the table than LolPels and they have a hell of a time rebutting our arguments/stances, that's why they don't like us/Rockets...bc in general they can't win.

I don't think Dan melts too hard like others over there.

Eta I hate myself for using the term "melt"

They should've been moved to Seattle


Hornets(at the time) were in the process of finding a buyer but the lockout screwed that and many things up. Of course it was murky.

CP3 loved NOLA but Shinn/Bower were no bueno.

NOLA has(and probably always will to some extent) be a football town due to a team that's been here for nearly 50 years. The Pels establishing a culture will hopefully put things more in their favor.

Benson is savvy enough to get it straight. I have a lot more faith in him than Shinn(oh god)

Seattle will probably get an expansion team or the bucks will move there.

Its fun to mess with the Rockets fans on Pelicans Talk because they can't help but interject themselves into the forum dedicated to a team that is not theirs. But in general there is no true Pelican/Rocket rivalry because the Rockets have never done anything of consequence to the Pelicans, and vice versa.

Dan's melt:

quote:

Does every thread have to be a Rockets thread on here?

Don't y'all have a fricking board for this?


quote:

No frick you

No more lighthearted sarcastic banter from me, y'all are annoying


quote:

I'm cool with a little discussion outside of Pelicans on here

But y'all purposefully bring up the Rockets in every thread now because you know it annoys posters on here

That's trolling, and it's annoying


quote:

Everyone needs to shut the frick up about the Rockets then

Seriously 3/4 of these threads turns into Boom and them talking about the Rockets

Who. fricking. Cares.


He went from lolrockets to getting pissed off.
