    I started to get back into basketball. My hometown of Oahu doesnt have a team. The city I was living in didnt have a basketball team team either. So I picked a team that didnt have Kobe and did have a big arse Asian guy on it!

    Pope Benedict XVI had just issued the Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum, removing restrictions on celebrating the old Tridentine Mass.

    Plus, July '07 was pretty hot at I was at my PC surfing the net instead of outside mowing the grass.

    No idea. Posting to see my date.

    EDIT:
    Found the site a year or so before I registered, and just lurked. Had nothing to do with the state of the teams, more so me being homesick as I was attending boarding school in Switzerland.

    I don't really remember when exactly I joined. I'm so old, I can't even look up my first post. It was definitely before the Quitten season. Maybe Barkley's first season, or his second. It didn't have anything to do with Barkley -- I just happened to find the site around then.

    I got my first credit card. Which meant I could pay the fee to become a member, back when such a fee was required.

    I started lurking to find out info on Yao. I only casually followed basketball at the time, so I didn't know anything about him. I finally got an account once public viewing was shut down.

    I rarely post here, but I do give the place a lot of credit for helping to maintain and solidify my interest in basketball, to the point where I was able to get a basketball-related job.

    Joined right around the time when Yao & McGrady started to break down physically. I remember being on the board during the 22 game win streak. Followed the site though for some months before joining.

    (diehard fan since 93. Not sure what took me so long to join)

    When I was in college, I first found "saveourrockets.com" online while I was freaking out about the team moving to Louisville. From there, I started lurking occasionally on Clutchcity.net.

    When I graduated in 2001, I had more free time and started spending more time on Clutchfans. After reading a while, I joined to help urge posters to lay off the criticism of our young players (especially Steve Francis), hence the name "Patience". Turns out a fair amount of that criticism was valid :). Oh well.

    I always used to watch Clutchfans YouTube video's and read the forums, but I never really liked joining anything on the net.

    I can't remember why I finally joined up,(I think I truly disagreed with someone & had to voice my opinion), but I'm on here daily now. Y'all are like my extended family.

    I joined when Lin joined the Rockets the first time. I had told folks since even before the Warriors drafted him that Lin had all-star potential and was intrigued about his journey. When Lin joined the Rockets, my favorite team since childhood, I couldn't help but to join.

    Same here. I joined at the end of the season before. So unless you look at the month I joined I look like a Lin/Harden bandwagon jumper.

    As with lots of low number members, we were part of the Original ClutchCity that the Rockets took back from Clutch. Clutch created Clutch Fans as a result, and let members know to sign into the new site.

    Thus my low member number. Old School.
