    I definitely had my fun sending my letter to the Rockets managment. An e-mail coming from New York and five different friends of mine from China all sent in to complain, so much fun. Anyways Rockets.com does suck JUEVOS! The pictures they provided of media day was just horrendous. That site either needs to get more funding or the web designer just needs to put in more of an effort. 10 pictures and all cheesy ones aren't really going to drag in traffic to their site. :rolleyes: If they had only let Clutchfans in there with our amateur journalism and cellphones we probably would have had a zillion better pictures and coverage than the ones they provided on that website done with their "professionals". If Houston sports radio 610 is getting any money for talking about the Houston Rockets then they better be kissing the asses of the thousands of fans in here and the site itself. They wouldn't even have a Houston basketball team to talk about if it wasn't for this site and Clutch and Jeff. Thanks for site Clutch and Awesome to see how much power this site has. Let's go CF.NET

    It was ridiculous in the first place, I mean come on, this is a basketball team.

    No real secrets are going to be disclosed, the whole thing is entertainment and about getting more money for Les.....

    What a bone headed move on their part, alienating their most hard core fans...shame on them.

    I'm glad to hear the good news, I was getting a little worried and even though I don't think I coudl bare with cancelling my tickets, I was about to send them a few nasty emails from a few addresses.

    For all it does the Rockets organization should be praising Clutch and this site. If anything, in the end, it helps put money in Les's pocket and doesn't cost him a dime, who wouldn't kill for that?

    Thank GOD we have this site because if we were forced to rely on rockets.com most of us, including myself, would be going insane with the slow updates and mediocre information provided.

    Now is probably a good time to say...Thank you Clutch for all of your hard work and time you put into not only the greatest Rockets site, the greatest NBA site, but the greatest site PERIOD!

    oh and like some others was saying I strongly urge everyone to email in your thanks, appreciation. Let the Rockets.com people think we're grateful and not gloating. I love the Rockets, we should never have to compete with them or have them feel inferior to us in anyway (well, except the Rockets.com site *shudder*)

    I'm emailing in my thanks. And also you gotta give props where they're due.

    Last night on the news (after MNF), channel 13's sports report actually had interviews with Rockets players.

    See?!? They know we need an outlet for Rockets news. Training camp is probably the biggest story of the offseason. If nothing else, all the media outlets we contacted now realize there's a hunger & a thirst for Rockets offseason information. Too bad they'll all be in the shadow of ClutchFans!
