    KD, you captured the fans giddy expectations to a tee! (And the what ifs we all want to ignore)

    Very nice job.

    Please do not cut and paste the entire piece onto a message board. Advertising sponsors are the reason these sites remain free, please just provide a quote and link like Hayesfan did.

    56 wins seems slim, but that's a median guess. We all know what this team's ceiling is.

    Yes, we should have a policy to not post all of jfritz's or KellyDwyer's articles to support them with our hits since they're fellow CF'ers.

    The most important thing to do is CLICK THE LINK to the source page.
    Here it is:
    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...-Season-Preview-Houston-Rocket?urn=nba,115989
    Then click the link to Kelly's blog:
    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie?author=Kelly+Dwyer
    Congratulations. You have now added to his unique users and helped him earn his living. Always do this, particularly for friends and good writers. Your words of praise are lovely, but your clicks are what his advertisers and bosses care about.

    Great preview, Kelly... It pretty much echos my feelings, just you were able to put it in a much better way.

    See, I have a completely different view, since Clutch is competing with those sites, why should a post get free advertising?

    But I will do it for you KD.......and Fritzy too...maybe...

    I still want to read the info here but I will click for support if you ask nice. If you try to straight tell me what to do, I will practice my option of civil disobedience.

    The comments underneath the article that bash the Rockets seem like they're hoping we fail because they're scared. People always fear what they don't understand.

    Most Improved Player: Luis Scola (which I think is actually the only realistic award, maybe with COY)

    Great article, forgets to mention potential issues with Ron Artest though :)
