    Ah, hipocrisy.

    SOF's want "Steve Haters" to stop bashing Steve Francis and to be left free to express their love affair with Steve. Yet, at the same time go on to bash T-mac and the thread where there's people expressing their love affair with T-mac. Tsk tsk..

    I would love for them to live up to "The Fast and the Furious". Yao plays great when he's angry.

    Sorry, I wanted to limit an author to one input, so I can give more people more opportunities, and I picked your "the Shot and the Swat".

    I agree, but I think they are the opposite right now.:( Yao is slow as opposed to fast, and T-Mac is emotionless as opposed to furious.

    There was a candidate named "111" in the first poll, and it didn't advance. In fact, it got the least of all votes. :(

    The reason I did NOT vote for Double Clutch wasn't because it wasn't a good nickname. It is good.

    But, I just couldn't. It's already taken; there is only ONE Double-Clutch (the 1995 Houston Rockets).

    Sorry, DeAleck. Didn't mean to pick on you. Just kinda felt "sacrilege" to give McGrady/Yao the DC title.

    Can you tell me why you feel that way? I mean, which part of history did I violate?

    The name ClutchCity originated when the Rockets beat the Suns on the way to the '94 championship. When they repeated the following year, the were known as "Double Clutch".

    We all love Yao, and we will come to love TMac, but they are not Olajuwon.

    It's just not the same.
