    You heard me, not clutchfans site, but they made an article about Rockets' fan reactions to DMo's return and translated bunch of comments you guys made in the forum the last couple days.
    Why "media"? Because personally, I think the site's sports column was always very amateur and I don't like it. But doesn't change the fact it's the most popular news site in Lithuania.

    Here's a link to it (all in Lithuanian): http://www.delfi.lt/krepsinis/nauji...ju-dienu-prisikele-is-numirusiu.d?id=70489888

    And they did not credit clutchfans.net
    Like I said, their sports column is very unprofessional in my opinion. I repeat it, because I know one of them is going to read this. That's right, you suck at your job.

    Quick google translate job, may be confusing, since they translated from english to Lithuanian and I translated that with lousy google.translate back to english. Lost in translation, nevertheless, you can recognize the comments as I did.

    At least, such an opinion to gain a cursory look at their forums and discussions, užvirusias immediately after it turned the Rockets' intentions, then they collapsed. "Knock, knock! What is out there? D-Mo returned. How is it D-Mo returned? D-Mo came back for more three pointers! "- Cheerfully announces one fan, in his message to insert hjustoniečiams perfectly familiar slogan" D-Mo for 3-mo. "

    "Our savior is dead, but three days later rose from the dead" - inferior to the ingenuity of the first user, calling himself StrawberryJamm.

    "You'll see how the D-Mo will be the one, which will finish the season in the third place of the Western Conference. It will definitely be our X factor ... and prove that for all his wrong '- optimism and spew Mr. Dominant.

    As you can see, they didn't public any negative comments. Like I said, despite being biggest news site in Lithuania, they aren't very professional. But hillbillies dig it. Fox news is similar in US, I guess :)

    DaDakota's comments weren't translated, because not even we were able to translate them, despite the EFFORTS of Mr Clutch and SamFisher.

    Although, I was able to understand "Nothing is going to harsh my buzz, MAN".

    Without checking the original thread, I see a Mr Clutch (X Files) and a Bobbythegreat (he was playing 20 minutes two weeks ago)

    Very disappointed that my "you mean 20 minutes total the rest of the season? that's feasible" or similar did not make the cut.

    Did anybody see the story to the right of the page near the end of the article?

    "Is your vagina nice? The researchers found that what most men like".

    They know what that means, but not the context in which it was used.

    Since "Kicking the can down the road" is a national past-time in Lithuania and most all Eastern Bloc countries (it's huge in Poland), they didn't know why he used that way to describe the evil Morey.
