    I live in Phoenix and never have I heard someone say they don't like the Clippers.

    People hate Lakers and Spurs (from their playoff battles) here

    Random aside, are there any cool bars that Rocket fans meet up for up there? I'm in Tucson, and I wouldn't hate driving up for some marquee games to watch with other Rocket fans.

    I miss the PNW Rockets fan group set up by @topfive .

    Oh no, how did you end up in Tuscon from Portland? Although Saguaro National Park is pretty cool and The Rialto used to be the only place to see Animal Collective when they traveled through Arizona. I was in Phoenix for school in the oughts, but back then there were very few Rockets fans at the games I would attend (tail end of the Nash- Stat era). I'd assume a lot of people there are on the Harden bandwagon now. Best of luck, Arizona is a weird place.

    I don't believe that the most hated team in Arizona are the clippers and I don't believe that the most hated team in Philadelphia are the Lakers.
    Where is the Celtics hatred?
    I don't even believe that the most hated team in California is the Clippers.

    Is California only Los Angeles? I am sure that the people in the rest of California hate the Lakers as much as the rest of the country.

    Nah. Lakers are CA's team, much like the Cowboys will always rule TX.

    I actually grew up down here, then went to Eugene for school, then ironically I got a job down here. It is a strange place, but after Eugene/Portland nothing feels strange anymore haha.

    Ok. Fair enough. The Rockets will just have to stop eliminating the Thunder and Jazz from the playoffs.

    Ohh that makes sense. Houston is weird too, but I love living here. Congrats on being back home.

    Arizona has forgiven the Rockets for the kiss of death? I went to grad school there in the mid 90s, my Rockets fandom wasn't appreciated.

    I'll take credit for Utah hating us... Oklahoma is all RW.

    Rather they continue to hate us. Would like to see Rocket red across entire map, sans Texas of course.

    I was going to ask the same thing to @Pizza_Da_Hut Do Suns fans still hate us because of the Kiss of Death? Or do they even remember?

    Judging by this city you'd think they'd be the most hated in Houston too.

    Further proof analyzing Twitter users constitutes Fake News.

    Which also means, as long as ZDog is still around on Twitter, Rockets will be found as most hated by Utah.

    Nope. Years ago I posted asking if anyone here was from Phoenix for that reason and never got a response. Post Yao/Pre Harden there was only a handle full of fans here and a couple of them were coming from Houston to visit family each year. Down to start mob'n up somewhere though.

    Come playoff time, if you want a drinking buddy I'll drive up! Also, when the Rockets meet the Suns up there I'm down to meet up before the game too. Just DM me.
