No worries. It's not something you can wake up one day and claim. In order to take the name, they'd have to out-do the Rockets who earned it, and there's no way that is going to happen unless they go down 3-0 in both the WCF and Finals and win both series. So like I said, it's not going to happen.
They can steal the handle but they'll never steal the heart of a champion. Damn, the Lakers stole it already.
And Josh Howard is also apparantely a very clean, honest player. Yeah right . Plus he is like Rodman. I can see the similarities between the two as far as they are both nuts, but to say that Howard plays like Rodman, yep another . I forgot Howard gets like 14 boards a game, shoots 50% from the FT line and can't shoot the ball from further than 2 feet away from the basket. Go Josh Rodman! (or is it Dennis Howard?)
Since the term "Clutch City" is actually a registered trademark owned by Les Alexander, they can say whatever they want and they are still wrong and suck.
Whatever. 1 guy calling Dallas Clutch City is nothing to get upset over. Everyone in the state of Texas knows what city and basketball team is the real Clutch City. Besides Dallas will be eliminated by the end of the week and Cuban can begin to overhaul the team by getting a bunch of offensive players like he does every off-season.
Aw, come on...give those Dallas fans a break...they have nothing else to cling to but the hollow hope that Mavericks team is special. Those guys will be lucky to get past Phoenix. Let those kids have their fantasies. The painful truth will set in soon enough.
Can't find a picture.... But 2 retired jerseys and 1 division title (80's) hanging from the roof of AAC. 'Nuff said!
Yep..a division title in 1986-87 season and the retired jerseys of Ronaldo Blackman and something Davis. What a glorious past for a franchise.
I usually don't really love "I blah blah" threads but since this concerns big d, I wanted to report how I put my neck on the line for hte guys in dallas.... hee hee..it got alittle hot let me tell ya.. I really caused havoc in the expensive seats in game one, and boy did i piss off my best buddy, who also happens to sing the anthem time to time for said mavs, which is how I ended up in those seats in the first place. I literally had one guy slap me on the shoulder and tell me to go to hell , as we throttled em in game one. I even screamed "Rockets RED GLARE" during the anthem, to the cagrine of every over pasty white butt around me, and believe me there was a llott of white butt! Can you say supersize me? The ironic part is, he is the guy who taught me that little piece, when he, sang for the Rockets, naturally ! He wouldn't talk too me for a week...until, of course, his team went UP a game...then it's like, "hey man what's happening?"....lol...so when he says , "Oh I want The rocKets to win man..." ....BS....yeaH, NO YOUR not a rockets fan man>>>>> and he didn't like the mY lITTLE pONY lOGO SHOT EITHER..what's with this guy ?....
I actually find the implied need to compare themselves to the Rockets kind of sad. If I'm a Dallas fan, I don't want to be implicitly comparing myself to Houston by co-opting the nickname instead of coming up with something more original.
Who cares? Clutch City is done....it was done a decade ago. We aren't the heart of a champion any more, Detroit is now. The Pistons are the champs are being underestimated. Root for them if you really believe in that heart of a champion stuff....everyone thinks it's goig to miami. As for Dallas....They are clutch, but they apparently aren't too creative in regards to coming up with a moniker.
there seems to be a misunderstanding. Well at least my opinion on Josh Howard. I admit I don't like the guy at all, but not b/c I think he's a "dirty" player. it's b/c I hate how he is staring people down like he did something against the Rockets. *That* was my beef with Howard.
Like someone else mentioned, they'd have to go down 0-3 in the WCF and the Finals and come back and win both to do what we did. Let them enjoy their short stay in the sun, they won't get anywhere this year, and when next year comes around and we're the 3/4 seed and they're the 5/6 seed we'll be the ones boasting and laughing (Rockets don't let me down!). Pugs
