    I was on clutchfan all day and that's how I found out about Howard's decision. I will never forget that day. That day probably is the best day in Rockets free agency history and also my life as Rockets fan, probably better than T-Mac trade in 2004. I was so jumping happy that day. I am very excited. I still can't believe it. It still doesn't feel real.

    How about you guys? How did you feel when you found out about his decision?

    I was working in a shop on Westheimer (let the jokes commence) by myself. I was paying way too much attention to this board all day and the store was empty when it broke. I did a dance around the shop. I did not get caught.

    I was checking CF all day, and then at 4:30, I decided to go swim with some of my friends. It was one of my friend's bachelor party, so I met them up. I think we got out of the pool at 6 and my friends said that Bleacher Report was saying that Dwight chose Houston.

    I didn't believe BR because it's BS. I told my friends to keep an eye out for what Woj said.

    I biked home super fast, ran into my apt, and turned on ESPN, and it was reporting 'BREAKING NEWS: DWIGHT TO HOUSTON'.

    I screamed so loud; i kept screaming...HE CHOSE US! HE CHOSE US!

    started getting texts/tweets from dallas folk, saying how much they hated houston

    went to Genghis Grill after.

    i was kinda sad though, because people were reporting that he went back to LA for something, so I started getting paranoid

    but after dinner, this dude tweeted it and made it official

    BEST DAY OF THE SUMMER BY FAR.

    Had a thought that some idiot will create a thread after a week titled

    " What did you do on 7/5/13 when you heard D12's decision to sign with Houston?

    I was on the couch refreshing the Dwight thread every 5 minutes until I saw someone post up the Sam Amick tweet. I squealed a bit, but was scared to celebrate until Woj confirmed. Then I remember him semi-confirming it in a confusing way with his tweets but I think he was just butthurt not to report it first haha. The only things that ruined it for me were Broussard's crazy "updates" and ESPN talking more about Dwight LEAVING LA rather than Dwight SIGNING with Houston.


    GLORIOUS DAY THOUGH!
