    Here is the list of our last 21 games

    Indiana

    @San Antonio

    New Jersey

    Dallas

    San Antonio

    LA Clippers

    @Dallas

    @N.O. Okla City

    Cleveland

    Seattle

    Washington

    @LA Lakers

    @Seattle

    @Portland

    @Golden State

    @Sacramento

    @Utah

    Minnesota

    Memphis

    @Denver

    San Antonio

    The regular season ends

    I'd like to do the playoff fundraiser like we did last year at this time, but it seems like we are going to be fighting just to make the playoffs this year.. Instead of waiting to see if we even make the playoffs why not do a fundraiser TO THE PLAYOFFS??

    I'll start it off.. I'll give $1.00 to the TIPJAR for each win we get in these last 21 games and $5.00 extra if we make the playoffs..

    Who else is with me??

    GO ROCKETS!!

    I'm willing to kick in $5 later today, and another $5 if they make the playoffs.

    Since this site is completely fan-run by essentially one man out of his own pocket, and the fact that there aren't an overwhelming amount of ads (it's VERY rare to have a popular fan-run board be completely devoid of pop-ups), in the past, we've organized some "fundrasing" threads to help support the site and help with the bandwidth costs.

    Here's the last one we did: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=95069

    I wouldn't be surprised if the bandwidth costs runs into the thousands per year. And like I said, "Clutch" is the guy running and paying for the whole thing. And considering the amount of entertainment, cameraderie and enjoyment that some of us have received from this site, a little bit of payback is worthwhile and appropriate. Not saying everyone has to chip in, but it would be great if you did.

    I'll chuck in $10 if we make the playoffs. I always like to give in exchange for good karma.

    I will squeeze out $25 if we beat Spurs (or Mavericks) in the first round playoff.

    $50 if you get to the final, and $100 if we win the damn thing.

    My pledge: for each Rockets victory, $1 if Yao has 22/11, $5 if 30/15. Extra block(s) over 2 blocks and/or extra assist(s) over 3 assists are counted towards rebounds. $10 if Rockets make the playoffs regardless.

    $25 if we get in playoff, $50 if we win the first round, (will fly in with my boys to watch the 2nd round game if it happens).
