Depends how you define 'all-time great' team. Winning 67 games in a season is a feat in its own. Only 9 other teams in history have done that. It's not like they coasted through the shotty east. Granted their divisional share of games included SAC/LAL/PHX
Yes, the folks out there that just started watching basketball in May are having a laugh. Sure. But the fact is they are still better than 25 other teams out of 30, and have a bright future the next few years to get even better. That's just how stupid sports bandwagon fans are. They literally think the Rockets suck... which is stupid when you think about it.
**** you if you boo. I paid a lot of money to go tonight and left extremely upset and disappointed. But this is my team. I love this team and they are in the Western Conference Finals of the most stacked Western Conference of all time. I want them to win so bad, and I will cheer for them until the end whenever that may be. One game at a time.
i would never boo my team. not ever. not under any circumstances. period. some of you are just pathetic.
As for the question, I might boo if I sensed they just weren't trying. I didn't really get that sense tonight, tbh. I paid a pretty penny for floor seats and stayed til the end. After everything we've battled against this year, I can't imagine booing and/or walking out on them at this point.
Never. Maybe if a team is tanking the wholr year. But this team has fought through so much this year. They deserve our respect.
You never boo. You can criticise but never boo when the going gets tough. This team was labelled heartless and yet they came back from the brink to overcome the clippers. It was a sweet victory for the supporters who stayed true until the end while fair-weather fans were no where to be seen.
I know, when you see a team getting torched it's easy to say they didn't bring it, but that isn't what I saw. Numerous times I would see our guys hustle, and rotate, but GS would still just make a great play. I do think they got demoralized when the Warriors (and the refs) rebuffed that run we started to make in the 3rd. The Warriors were just on point tonight. I'm as tired as everybody else when it comes to the medias love affair with the Warriors, but at a certain point you have to give the devil his due.
This post deserves to be a separate thread. I would give the Harden-Howard cornerstone one more playoffs run to see if they are good enough to make us a true contender. Harden has improved from last two years playoffs. But he still has too many lapses for a franchise player on a championship team. Howard has passed his peak. We'll be lucky if he doesn't decline too much too fast. If these two guys can't lead us, no amount of role player flipping can push us over the hump.
Even if they are acting as whimps , what does booing them actually achieves? I can understand booing a bad performer or entertainer as a neutral spectator that has paid good money to be entertained. But you clearly are more than just a spectator wishing to be entertained at the coliseum. A true fan does not merely watch, he actually supports.
It doesn't achieve anything tangible, but I can see why some may feel it's a valid emotional release in certain situations.
Agree with all of this. I was a lot more mad when I left Game 1 of the Clippers series than I was tonight. That team rolled over. I just didn't see that today.
The only appropriate time to ever boo a rockets player was when quitten wore the dildo and stripes. ...and to an extent, boo Clyde's commentating. Otherwise we only boo the bad guys.
