    Hey, what was that link to the full HQ NBA games on Youtube? The one that was broken up by quarters? I missed the game tonight, couldn't stream it, but I am happy to watch the uploaded ones on Youtube.

    Does anybody remember the link to the guy who uploads them there?

    Thanx

    This is the place I've shared 16 years worth of pleasure and pain with my fellow fans. Could you explain why for the first time in those years this is an improper place for me to discuss the Rockets? First I can't get them on TV; next I'm not supposed to talk about the team in the only place on the internet I ever have? That's a drag.

    DirecTV has a service address and a billing address. They determine your location for programming purposes by your service address. Is it possible that your service address isn't in the Houston area?

    I didn't criticize your passion for the team and I don't know where you got that. Saying I was done with the team and saying **** this and **** that is the opposite of letting anger fester; it is the expression of anger. Yeah, I'm angry, that is obvious. But I'm not letting it fester and the proof is these posts.

    Bully for you! That's a great plan. I'll find more productive uses of my time. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

    Yes and I get that. And I get that the involvement in the Save Our Rockets thing was fine as it benefited the Rockets and worked out for all parties while reporting on this or opining on it on the front page or doing some investigative reporting on it would not endear the writers here to the team. I expect Feigen is held back by the exact same concerns.

    Yes, and I don't think it's a silly thing, I absolutely do want to see a scathing editorial. Assign blame wherever the writer of the editorial believes it ought to go or assign blame to everyone. But yes, I think that people that work in media covering the Houston Rockets have an absolute responsibility to cover this story like it is the biggest story affecting Houston Rockets fans period. Because it is. I'd like to see Feigen covering it honestly. I'd like to see him stand up to the team. I'd like to see Jeff cover it for the Houston Press. And yeah, I'd like to see Clutch cover it for Clutchfans. I honestly don't think that's asking too much. I actually think its kind of their job. I mean none of them ill will, but I do think it's their job.

    Regarding you other points about not wanting to see a bunch of threads and also how you can check in on this thread any time you want, each are made worse by the unstickying of this thread. And I guarantee you that whoever did the unstickying was one of those that witnessed the birth of a new Houston Rockets superstar. Twice. They had Comcast or they don't live in Houston.

    People that are getting to watch the games should not forget how many of us aren't. This has never happened before in my 43 years. And when I go to www.chron.com/sports, houstonpress.com, or yes, clutchfans.net, it's like it never even happened.

    It's happening now.

    Don't tell us to complain to our providers... Cover the story. That's all.

    Quoted for truth. Rep this man!

    While everyone that has the games is filled with "hope" by these first two games, and haven't been this excited since the 09 playoffs, those of us without csn are like the bum on the streetcorner. And no one wants to look us in the eye.
