    hey, DD, it's absolutely excellent job although i have a different opinion on a couple points you made, such as ron. ron hurted his ankle. everyone knows it. you can see ron dragged his legs. as he claimed that he was much better in the last game, i would like to wait to judge him until i know he is completely healthy.

    it seems you have a great home just looking at those cabinets. i remember you said once you live somewhere in Austin. am i right? i am living in Cedar Park.

    Nice video

    Don't agree with you on Artest. He is just shooting poorly, not nearly as bad a ball stopper as Tmac.

    Fair enough on the agreeing or disagreeing, just wanted to see if something like this was interesting, and whether I should keep it up, or expand it?

    I would like to have a fan show like the "No Layups" one, where we talk to Clutchfans and get their take on the season.

    Maybe our own interenet PTI type of deal though in much smaller clips...say under 5 minutes.

    I just think our community has so much passion and knowledge for the team etc...that it would be a fun thing.

    I would love to host a small show where we talk Rocks and edit it up for YouTube.

    BTW, that is just me free flowing....and I went on WAY WAY WAY too long...

    Maybe we can make it together. I mean, I can join you throughout the skype.

    How about that?

    Sure, do you have a web cam? I would like to do a web cam video conference type of deal where we record about 5 minutes of Rockets talk with varying opinions from us the fans.

    Uh...thanks.

    :D

    I agree, you applying? We have very low acceptance standards....which should be obvious to anyone brave enough to watch the video.

    Okay I haven't watched the video yet... (I will watch it when I get home from work) but you are now the semi-Kige Ramsey of Rockets basketball.

    I salute you.

    Nicely done, DD.

    You need a Silent Bob sidekick -- you ask a question and he nods his head "yes" or shakes his head "no." :D

    nice job.

    We actually agree on more things than I thought. We disagree about Artest and to an extent wafer(I'm not "in love" with the guy), but everything else I agree on as far as player personel.

    I like your prediction that we will run the table in feb. That would be awesome.

    One thing that's been bothering me,

    Scola is VERY fast for a big man. Athleticism is multifaceted. Scola may not be able to jump high or move with quickness and explosiveness but he is FAST. Very few big men can get down the court as fast as him.

    You seem to have a good commentating voice, though. I don't know how many here are good at public speaking.

    i agree we're always going to disagree or agree on the content, but i think you did a good job presenting it. The only thing i would change is cutting back on info that the average fan already knows and cut back on summarizing the season (but i guess you did that since this is your first video). I'd stick to specific topics, like Battier is a hot one right now. Or trade suggestions, etc.

    Agreed, this was an "Out of the box" shot across the bow, to see if it was fun, and whether or not we could get one going that is pure ClutchFans.

    And, honestly....video comes off so much better than typing, people can not read or understand sarcasm or humor in text.

    Hopefully we can get some more people involved and have a Rocket's talk from Clutchfans members, that would be fun, I think.

    Pretty accurate assessment of the team. Only thing I would suggest is you invest in a backdrop.

    Carl Landry is 6'7 3/4 without shoes just to help you out there.

    DD, you've already got a bunch suggestions. clearly fans love your clip. you definitely need to make it a weekly show or a show every other week.

    Great job DD, I agree with pretty much everything you said accept about Ron and no mention of Wafer's missed assignments on defense.

    It was a good video indeed but my question is how often are you going to do it?? Once a week?? twice???

    If everyone on the team played as hard and with the amount of passion that Scola plays at we would have the best team in the league. It wouldn't even be close. Our team is so loaded with talent, we just need Artest and McGrady to buy into the team system of moving the ball around, taking good shots, playing defense.

    Thanks DD.

    If I could add one piece of constructive criticism, it would be this:

    Take yourself more seriously. You are obviously knowledgeable about the Rockets and have plenty to say. You don't have to do anything to be entertaining but talk.

    Great job, I look forward to your next State of the Rockets Address.
