    80 year old Hakeem >>>>> Weatherspoon :(

    Bottlerocket,

    If you don't watch out that "silly bear" might kick you from this website

    Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

    Sorry, Clutch is TEN TIMES better than Turbo. Clutch is just hilarious, I like him a lot more than Turbo.

    However, I would love to have the old Rockets theme song that used to play with the starting lineup (I loved that theme, I don't know why the Rox don't use it anymore):(

    Whatever...

    Turbo's act is more entertaining to me that Clutch the dancing bear. That is how I feel. :)

    Wow, you seem to be the first clutch is better than turbo post ever. Should go in some kind of museum. Everyone I know was sad to see Turbo go and that stupid bear for 10 year olds come in. Reminded me of George Lucas using Ewoks instead of Wookies in Return of the Jedi to get the children interested.
