    Seriously, I quit caring about this big "lack of national respect" issue after the Great Sports Illustrated Snub of 1994, when I realized it was never going to change.

    Post here if you don't care what Charles Barkley, ESPN, SI, TNT, Shaq, Mark Cuban, Kenny Smith, random twitter people et al. think of us. As a Rockets fan since the late 70's, I don't need validation from anyone.

    Why do we deserve any validation? This is our first conference finals in 18 years. We haven't done jack. People are whining about respect before we've done anything.

    Do we deserve some props for pulling out the the last series? Sure. Should we expect the media to pick us over GS? Why would they? GS blew us out 4 times. And the Rockets showed some disturbing mental weakness during the last series. Best way for respect is to just win. WCF is not enough.

    I don't understand why anyone would care. It doesn't effect the game and won't damper my joy from any of the victories. If anything it will help to motivate our team.

    I don't really care but when I want to see some analysis or good recap on games it is annoying. I couldn't care less what Skip freaking Bayless says but if I watch the recap of the series on Sports Center I don't want the only thing discussed is that the Clippers collapsed with no discussion of how well the Rockets played. I want some damn analysis on our play. Rockets need to take care of business this series and just shut them up with the box score.

    I'd rather they were hating on us than not talking about us at all.

    Yes, I do not watch the TNT show. I follow bit of ESPN, but I only know the lady in the ESPN coast to coast is so beautiful.

    The GARM is getting cluttered by articles of everyone who hates on the Rockets.

    Leave that **** in one thread.

    what have the clips, cavs, hawks, or warriors done in the last 20 years? Nothing. So why do they get more attention than us? (thats the point of this)

    The number one clue that you have just made a very bad post.....




    Im with ya drummerman, I have stated it many times before.

    When the Rockets got no due for winning two damn titles in the nineties, I knew they would never get a fair shake from the national media. I dont really care because I am capable of analyzing the game just as good as most of the morons who get paid to do it and I dont need ANYONE'S vaidation for my teams.

    They dont care, I do...so screw em.

    Exactly. I don't blame anyone for picking the Warriors (or even the Clippers) to beat the Rockets. But I want to be read solid, balanced analysis about the team and during games. That ridiculous Zach Lowe podcast posted today is a perfect example. The entire podcast was about the team that lost the series. WTF.
