    I'm sure this board is gonna take a ton of hits because of the SI article. I'd like to see a count of them here just to get an idea of the new blood. Are you Rocket fans?

    I wondered about that, too. Is the bbs going to get overrun with one and two post threads?

    Hey, this site is great. Yup, I'm a damn newbie straight from the SI article. Looking forward to getting up to speed on lots of Rockets info...here in New York, Houston fans get lots of talk about The Dream and The Franchise, but I already learned more about Cato's problems in one article on this site then I've heard elsewhere all year long (was wondering what was up with him). Looking forward to checking out more of what's here and joining in.

    Hey Paul, there are lots of NY area Rockets fans on the board, and yes, daily visits are essential.

    Excellent news, NY Rocket! I'm in Manhattan and had to go down to Philly to see them this year (Knicks sell out, Sixers don't, believe it or not, folks). Turned out to be one of their best games of the year. Francis got a little wild at the end, getting in Larry Brown's face...I wonder sometimes how this side of his personality is going to impact on his/team's development? I imagine this gets talked about here...

    After a game, check the front page for recaps. Clutch is an excellent recap writer, IMO. For everyday CC.net fixes, I always check the front page first for any new news and / or new articles. I also always look forward to when the admins decide to get off their lazy butts [​IMG] and write their respective "Clutch Features" articles. Those are excellent. Then I head to the BBS for the Hangout, NBA section, and Rockets section.

    The Trivia and Historical sections are excellent. Fortunately for us, Clutch has way too much time on his hands. The Quotes section is fantastic as well.

    I think what you will find here is some incredibly knowledgeable people. I readilly admit that I spend way too much time on this site, and I love every minute I waste here.

    As for the thing with Francis and Brown, yes, that was discussed at length. Do a search on the BBS and you'll find it somewhere. I think the general consensus here was that the Rockets just wanted to get Langhi on the board, which Brown took offense to. Besides, al little bit of show-boating never hurt anyone.

    Yes, JayZ, what a great game. Everything was working and Iverson looked plain sick of it when he came out (OK, he was also a little injured, but still...)
    Thanks for all the advice about using the site. I'm heading for the wallpaper section as we speak [​IMG]

    You mean there are other therapists? I thought all the rest naturally gravitated to the Clips... [​IMG]

    The funny thing is that I didn't even think about it when I registered this a.m. ... and this coming from someone who was once Paul6899@aol.com! [​IMG]

    I can't believe someone stole my moniker.

    I didn't know anyone else had even heard of it. [​IMG]
