    Man... waiting, reading tweets, analyzing information, etc. is exhausting! I've had about enough of constant refreshing.

    I'm about to shut it all down and do something else.

    Who's with me!?

    It's all about the chase. I like following along with the rumors and speculation. That would be like just watching the playoffs and not enjoying the regular season. Not really, but kind of.

    HTM is in it for the long haul brah. No matter how many times he has to f5.... one of these f5's will deliver me.

    Similar to Dwight last year but not quite as exciting.

    Nah, it's part of the summer fun. I even watched our summer league game yesterday. Not turning it off after 5 minutes took discipline. Let's go Rockets!

    How can I unplug until something happens? If I unplug, how will I know when it happens?! Should I just wait until Oct 31, and have the announcers surprise me with the roster intros?

    That would actually be pretty epic, IF I could wait that long without Rockets news. I can't go 111 seconds without refreshing, let alone 111 days!

    Good God, we're still triple digits away from the 2014 season...I'm not gonna make it!!!

    Really? I feel like my days go by slower when I refresh the screen every minute. Refresh a few hundred times and it's only 10:30?! AND I forgot to bring a lunch?! This is going to be a rough day. Maybe I SHOULD unplug, at least until 5:00. Nope, can't do it, because then I'll miss something!

    How epic would it be if you could completely turn a blind eye to NBA until the first game. You awaken to see the new 2014-15 Rockets at tip off in Game 1 of the regular season. Your eyes, pacing around the screen to see who we have/dont have.

    Clutch,

    Save bmd from himself and de-activate/tempban his account until something happens.

    Like when Cartman froze himself so he wouldn't have to wait for the Wii to be released. But we all know how that went.

    Get the Rockets team stream app on your phone.. and it will alert you if something of note happens.

    If it's possible, tweetdeck has simultaneously increased my productivity with its alerts and damned it to hell with its streaming updates
