	Even though our record is 7-6 and with all the drama around Tracy going on....you have to love the effort our HOUSTON ROCKETS bring every game. We're gonna have loses like this but you can't fault the effort. This team is unselfish, hustles, never gives up.....we know our team is gonna show up every night. I love this team. I just think we need a little ROCKETS love in the garm.

Red Nation!!!

I wish everyone put the way this team is playing into perspective as you do.
Sadly all the Tracy fans can do is point the finger and look for someone to blame.

	I am very proud of the way they play, and the growth they have shown, they outrebounded a very athletic Hawks team tonight and just got an ulucky bounce or they might have won. They have good young up and coming talent and some blossoming veterans too. I am hopeful for the future and enjoy watching them work, and that is what they do...THEY WORK !

You know, it's funny you should mention that. I've heard Bill say lot's of things over the years but he sounded extra sincere when he uttered that phrase.

He said that right after I posted "Win or lose I love this team." I believe that was when Kyle drove in and got the layup and foul.

	Definitely appreciate what those guys are doing. They could go 0-fer the rest of the season and I'd be proud of them... if they put in this sort of effort consistently.

Matt and Bill said a lot of good things about the Rockets today.....but I feel that quote the most. As Rocket Fans, we share that quote....

Not all Tracy fans dude,me as one of T-Mac fans really appreciate the Rockets play,hard work,hustle and never giving up on hope type of spirit.

Although T-Mac being my favorite players since his Orlando days,the Rockets is,and will always be the team that I call my home team.

Thanks for the effort they have for the games they played hard for a win.

	I like seeing Landry ball....the dude has heart....when he kept getting blocked but kept going back up for it today, I was like "Hell yeah"

	Five star thread and five star spirit. We are privileged to watch a team of true competitors leave their best on the court and not be intimidated by anyone. Win or lose, we have many reasons to be proud fans. __________________ "I'm more of the Robin to Shane's batman."

	I was disappointed that we lost. Especially the way we lost. However, I'm extremely proud of this team. This team has earned my respect on effort and heart alone. On a side note, I do't think JVG could have gotten this team to play this well considering his style. Just my opinion. Neither here nor there. __________________ Yao Ming + Tracy McGrady = Pocket Rockets

	just a few eeks ago, we were pessimistic... and now tha the Rockets are playing very well with the current players (with no all satr) we hear some disappointing threads.. come on, this team's young, is learning and is yet capable of competing and even against great teams so be recognizing this effort and support your team we're very lucky and I'm optimistic about the future there will be some good surprises Rox forever

	It's a good sign that, even when we lose, we fans appreciate the players' effort. Let's go get SAC back tonight!
