He must have taken some of the curse with him. Look what's happened to the Rocket's playoff chances since he joined them.
It's hard to not think that way, but in reality, the injuries have been to players who were injured already
What would it hurt to change trainers just for the hell of it? Nothing to lose, everything to gain...random change is done all the time for players and coaches...why are trainers the league's royal class with lifetime appointments?
This team is cursed! Hell even when they were great during the Drexler years they still got matched against the AMAZING Micheal Years! When they were the better team in 2000 they got matched against the media adored nationally could do no wrong Kobe, Shaq and Phil trio. Throw in the Bowie which would have netted us Jorden, and Oden who would have netted us #1 player of this year candidate and allstar for the last five years KD and I'd say we are tied with the Sox's curse of the Bambino! If this team was given the key to the city, it would be for the wrong city!
Dude, it was the WCF in 2000. Of course they were going to be matched against the best team in the west...
for the levelheaded post With two projected cornerstones going down for good in the last year, I'm sure that curses and whatnot have been discussed ad nausea in the locker room not to mention when reporters are bringing it up. Whatever, it's a rough game and people are fragile. Remember when the Red Socks were supposedly cursed? That sort of stuff is nonsense for the feeble-minded. edit... just read GP's post after posting my own lol STOMP
I'm hoping that this new era we start from a clean slate. Team colors, court design, uni's. I don't believe in stuff like this but I just want something fresh that wont remind me of what could have been. Oh, and never wear this design ever again!
Of course the idea that this team is cursed is just silly ... still it probably would have been better if the Rose Garden hadn't been built on an ancient Indian burial ground ... and Paul probably should haven't stiffed that Gypsy fortune teller at the carnival that one time ...
