Can you be a true Rockets fan and also root for the Spurs as your 2nd favorite team?

NOT jelafied man.. NOT jelafied..

 

My girlfriend is a Mavs fan. But she's dead now.

 

yes,i think so,i love yao ,t-mac,all the palyer in rockets

 

what'a pity

 

CERTAINLY NOT! A FAN IS A FAN not a HALF FAN, NO SECOND TEAMS, ESPECIALLY IN TEXAS

 

By that I mean I've smothered her Maverick soul (with Cuban's help) and hope to turn her to the Rockets side of the force by next season. One of my friends did the same thing with his wife. It can be done. The heathens must be converted, even if by the blade of the love-sword.

"Honey, I'm just saying I'd love you more if you were a Rockets fan."

What could be simpler?

 

I really have a hard time rooting for any team besides the rockets.

But I do root against the spurs.

 

Hell no.

Rooting for the Spurs when you are a Rockets fan is a freakin' travesty.

I mean, not as bad as rooting for, say, the Jazz, but still...

 

You mean, is it okay to be a bandwagoner and all?

Apparently so. People do it all the time. It's amazing how many Steelers fans suddenly showed back up when they finally made it back to the SB a couple of years ago.

Bangwagon fans come very close to impressing me some of the time.

 

i just want to make this clear - we're not talking about rooting for the spurs or any other nba team on a regular basis. i think we're talking about after the rockets have lost in the playoffs (or sometimes not in the playoffs), is it ok to root for any other team; be it spurs, lakers or whatnot.

any sports fan with at least a bit sanity would say yes.

 

whoever created this thread ate a little too much

Absolutely not

 

not imo, it waters down your rox fanhood to root for the spurs as your "second" team.

however, if that's what rox fans want to do, I won't lose sleep over it.

If the Rockets are still in the race, then I hate all other teams. Once the Rockets season ends, I pull for the Spurs. I'd rather a Texas team win it all, as long as it's not the Mavs

However, it is not acceptable under ANY circumstances to pull for the Dallas Cowboys.

 

also, when I think of the Spurs, I still think first of David Robinson and Tim Duncan....both classy players.

 

I can honestly say that the Rockets are the only team I'm a fan of. But I'm a fan of players that are not on the Rockets and I may sometimes root for them. And, of course, I root for every team that plays against the Mavericks.

So I do occasionally root for Cavs (LeBron), GS (Biedrins), Portland (Roy; Outlaw), Sacramento (Artest) and yes, even the Jazz (Deron) but it has nothing to do with the respective teams. The moment Artest leaves the Kings, I don't care about Sacramento anymore. The moment Deron leaves Utah, I probably start to hate them and so on.

 

It is NOT okay to root for a team other than the Rockets if you are a true Rockets fan. However, you MAY root for a Euro (etc), NBDL, or WNBA team. You'll find this information in the Rockets Fan Rule Book code 23, section 15, line 9.

 

Yea you can root for them? Texas teams have been to the finals from the west more times than any other team in the last decade. Any team from the SW division except the Mavs i can deal with

 

(I have to first say that i am from Argentina and a long NBA fan but Rockets fan since they got Scola)

When i think of the Spurs i think Old School, and in this new NBA full of greed and cocky players you gotta love a bunch of old schoolers kicking the new guys arses.

Those who think the Spurs are dirty must have watched very little of the Hakeem Rockets, over those years a no call is what these days gets you a flagrant, the NBA is becoming a girls league in that regard, when the refs let the Spurs play this way, the surely will.

About the fact of being floppers i think the league is full of it and is another thing that can be changed by allowing hard play, flopper will never ever get the call because they get the benefit of small contact that even if exaggerated won´t be called.

And about the being Stern´s, what can i say, Stern himself said his dream matchup is Lakers vs. Lakers why would the Spurs be getting benefits by the refs being a small market and i think the less marketable team for the casual fan, Real Basketball fans might be attracted to the way they play because they are all players that know the game very well.

Overall i think it has to be a matter reduced to hate, i won´t say anything to someone who hastes the Spurs because of the rivalry but to hate them for the other things is just the crap that these days NBA has put into your minds by selling you cocky dunkers over real team basketball.

My 2 cents on the matter
