    Not how many times the Rockets are mentioned by paid personalities
    ESPN, FOX, TNT, NBATV, Russian troll sites, Twitch Fortnite players, Webbo, Tencent etc

    I want to see how many Clutchfans besides @Clutch, myself and the 99ers feel the same way
    I'm thinking about .01% of Clutchfans today actually cares about the results

    I enjoy some of those shows and agree and disagree with some of their takes.

    But at the end of the day, when you win you will see opinions and takes suddenly change.

    A young Jordan is a selfish scorer according to the media (wins title) > He's a goat candidate
    Peyton Manning/Dirk/Whoever is a playoff choker and regular-season player (wins title) > he's an all-time great etc.

    Nothing wrong with enjoying sports shows and everyone has an opinion, but the end of the day what were the results?

    Focusing on results is what shapes all the narratives and takes away excuses. Barring anything unethical, then they have to give credit to you.

    They won't just give it to you, you have to obsessively and intelligently work, adapt and execute your plans to take it.

    You know when you realize the media wins

    is when people are paying for Mel Kipers mock draft like three months before the draft without any trades going down

    Just as I don't give a Fying F what the media narrative is I could also give a rats A$$ what a 99er narrative is as well.

    :eek: 1999'er

    {Don't worry, I won't hurt you
    I only want you to have some fun}
    I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
    But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was judgment day
    The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere
    Tryin' to run from the destruction, you know I didn't even care ... o_O

    Nope.
    The Rockets won two titles in the 90s and all they talked about was Jordan.

    That changed when we got Charles Barkley.

    Then again when we got Yao Ming and McGrady.

    What if I don’t care about the media
    I only give a damn about my opinion
    And I think everyone else is dumb as rocks?

    When the rockets win a title I like to get a shirt and tell endless stories about how great they were

    not some dude from New York who comments on sports

    I like to remember Maxwell hitting a three over Starks
    Not Bob Costas not happy that we won
    @Jontro

    but I know no humans think like this except for 99ers

    I go to sleep happy when they win. I study the boxscore and standings. Read clutchfans.

    I ignore all of that and have an attitude when they lose.
