    I'm bumping this thread because it deserves to be bumped.

    "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ClutchCityReturns again."

    5 stars.

    Thanks.

    I like to let threads take their natural course, so I wasn't going to bump this myself. But honestly, my mind is boggled by the lack of interest this thing generated.

    This is a jackpot of nostalgia...

    I see, but I guess that also kind of proves my point. I check the site constantly throughout the day and never saw that thread, I assume because it fell off the first page so quickly.

    These blog entires are as good as it gets if you ask me. So again, I'm very surprised at the apathy shown here. Oh well.

    Agreed. Rockets fans of a certain age know better, but youngsters are still living in the age of the legend of Jordan, and sadly, they don't know better. I hope more of them read this.

    If the world was invaded by aliens or Cylons, I would tell them the most important thing about mankind:

    Clutch City was the name of the team that won the Houston Rockets championships and that Hakeem Olajuwon was unstoppable.
