    Arenas and Crintenton (or however you spell that dudes name) went John Wayne on each other last week, using guns. They didn't actually shoot each other but their team was called the BULLETS. Which was pretty funny.

    However, I doubt Clutch would just create a random thread like this if there wasn't something behind it. His assesement of "Rockets" being a negative term is correct, even though I believe most of the NBA fans and people around the world think of Rockets as in NASA and Space Shuttle's (if I remember correctly we had a couple shirts and black milky-jizzish-way jerseys with written "Space City" on them), therefore I believe we aren't close to changing our name since it suits perfectly the city.

    IMO, this is probably just a thread thats been made to have fun and is a change of "Tmac Threads".

    Most people do - it's logical - and most people don't remember when the team moved here.

    Let's think out of the box:

    CLUTCH CITY

    No need to use Houston, everyone in the nation knows this means Houston. :) If not, they can be directed to ClutchFans for "assimilation". ;)

    It’s time for the TAIL to wag the dog. :cool:
