    I heard that quote on NBA Nation on ESPN 2 last night when they took a peak into the Rockets vs. Hornets game.

    They also took turns ripping Yao saying he would never dominate.
    Except for the dude that wrote the Yao book, he said Yao must be convinced to be aggressive, be an a--hole , r the betterment of the teamorder to dominate.

    "Yao and T-Mac, seemd like a good idea at the time"

    The only thing that the Rockets did to improve this squad is change their uniforms. They have a ways to go.

    i like our uniforms. i like our logo. we don't play the worst basketball. and our fan involvement isn't that bad...i mena...look at this message board...

    We have good fans. We love the Rockets. TV ratings might be bad though lol.

    I liked the idea of one guy who said get players to sign autographs for fans after games...on the JVG show.

    I would like more quotes by the Rockets players..lol..I would like to be a ballboy.

    You know, they may be struggling right now, but I love the Rockets, Love the uniforms, Toyota center is kinda too expensive right now for the product on the court now. Thats the reason for the fans not showing up

    worst basketball ... New Orleans by a mile
    worst uniforms ... a matter of taste, i'd vote the ugly, awful Lakers purple vomit
    worst fan involvement ... this dubious honor is probably all ours.

    I think they were talking about the Hornet jersey besides ESPN sucks (at least Steven A. Smith does)

    Worst uniforms-Nah, they're actually pretty nice.

    Worst basketball-Bingo! That basically describes our game.

    Worst fans-Read above, they go hand in hand.

    I remember a time on this board when we would defend our beloved Rockets no matter what was said of them, now the team is getting bashed all over the place and all we can do is nodd our heads and say its true-because it is. :(

    This awful season in NOLA can't help their fan support issues. So where do the Hornets move, Oklahoma City or Las Vegas?

    If the NBA lets the Hornets move again then someone needs to put down the pipe. Hornets ownership is the problem, not the cities that they are in. However, New Orleans was a questionable city to move to.

    Worst fan involvement - DUH! Detroit!

    Worst uniforms - what, are we a bunch of girls discussing which team has better uniforms? Who cares? This is something our moms and girlfriends can debate over while we watch basketball.

    Worst basketball - ... hmm ... on second thought, maybe we should go back to debating the uniforms ;)

    Worst fan involvement? Maybe we are, but not by choice. You'll see the TC filled up once the season gears towards the end and crunctime though :)
    Worst uniforms? Nah! I love our uniforms. Bright but doesn't hurt the eyes. The shine matches well with the colors.
    Worst basketball? At the moment, maybe. Ask me that question again after the all-star break ;)
