    Cyberx — Have to give credit where it's due. Your post back on May 9 was spot on, and it was the first glimmer of hope that CF had been given that Howard would realistically consider signing here. Thanks for the tidbits along the way, and thanks for hanging in there despite some of the hate you received.

    I know it was sometimes tricky to let the info out and not lose your sources' trust. Good work.

    A side note of thanks to Doc. You said it was a done deal all along and I suppose you were right.

    haha, just cuz its reported that hes coming here does not mean his source is an insider.
    my point was he is making educated guesses, and doesn't actually get insider info and this does not prove whether that is true or false

    and you better hope that howard actually has picked Houston or this thread will really blow up in your face

    but in the end we both want the rockets to win it all so I hope that the rumours are true

    Howards decision was repored by USA TODAY. IT isnt from him, his agent or his " team". Howard hasnt agreed to join the rockets

    No offense to anyone, but accurate or not -- I just appreciate straight forward posts I don't have to decipher. I outgrew puzzles when I was 12.

    If you go back and check everything that was said by Cyberx, I think you would conclude that a) much of it checked out; b) certain things were very specific; and c) his posts were a lot of fun to read.

    Sure you can write any of it off as a good guess, but taken all together I think you have to give the man credit. BTW, where was the very first place you heard the decision would come down on Friday? Was it Wojo, Simmons, Amick, Broussard . . .? I don't think so. All of those guys reported it AFTER we heard it. You (if you were paying attention) knew it first.

    Good guess? Maybe so.
    Multiple good guesses? Hmmm.
