Do Clutchfans discourage players from coming to Houston?

  1. yes, the level of r****dation on this board is proof positive

    12.6%
  2. yes, but only when we follow yao ming home or fight with players on twitter

    8.4%
  3. no, players choose to play based upon other factors (contract, playing time, etc)

    78.9%

    This is an excellent thread.

    This reminds of Chicago post Jordan, it was very hard for them until recently.
    They didn't land any major superstars, they rebuilt from the draft.

    Look at Dwade, he was born there, and he didn't want to play in the shadows of MJ.

    We did have an attractive guy to play with, Yao Ming.

    Two reasons, he was a solid big and that he opens the door to China for the next star.

    Look up at the video of McGrady going to China and people were acting like he's Jackie Chan. That's because of Yao.

    When we had Dream, look at the star power we brought in Drexler, Barkley, Pippen

    ---

    We'll bounce back.

    You meant "embattled" fan base, right?

    The NY Fan Base is worse, they boo you if they dont like you.
    Everybody knows that if you play for NY teams, you are going to be criticized by the media and the fans for every little mistake you make, but players still want to go to play there.
