    For Clutch, the righteous followers aka the 99ers, and the witnesses of Clutch City,

    How do you feel when newer fans talk or compare the Rockets championships to the modern era?

    Do you feel that some take them for granted because it's the past or do you feel that they were misinformed (aka the marketing of the nba dictating people's perceptions of teams and players)?

    Do you feel that they understand the emotion and pride and intangibles that they did for the city of Houston?

    10 years from now, are people going to forget why this is called Clutch City?

    I will remember and the reason is that Tmac was a scoring champ.

    Clutch,

    if it wasn't for Kenny Smith on TNT, who on national TV ever mentions the Rockets Championships without mentioning Michael Jordan? According to newer fans, Jordan never played in 95, and was never beaten by Orlando.

    Or when they do mention it, its always the championship that got away from the Knicks, they even made a freaking tv special on the year that the Knicks almost won.

    Kal-el, the history of our city is will be lost in the fortress of solitude. I think Zods are a plenty in this bizzaro world.

    Tinman is the Optimus Prime of the 99ers. Whenever the Decepticons attack, he will lead us in a righteous battle for truth and justice and Clutch City.

    2 star thread? This is why Clutchfans should be run as an ultimate dictatorship or aristocracy! :mad:


    ClutchCity >>> the Bulls' 6 'ships.

    Chicago is lucky the refs didn't call Malone's bearhug or else we would have shown everyone that Hakeem's Rockets > Jordan's Bulls.

    i had to explain the reasoning behind the term to some people a couple of weeks ago. it was fun to re-live. But if people already don't know...i think yes, the majority won't know about it in 10 years

    while i was mere 10 years old when the rockets won their first championship i will never forget what it did for me, the grit that team showed was amazing the series with suns, both years made me a fan for life. outside my family and close friends, i live for the rockets(iknow blasphemy around these parts)

    one thing you can never forget the rockets are on a short list of repeat champs including celtics, lakers, pistons and bulls

    the day will come where will rise again

    It doesn't matter what anyone says. We know the truth. This great website will keep the flame alive through our leader and all of the fans dedicated to our past and future.
    Hakeem said no one can take anything away from us.
