    Cheer him for starting lineup/intro and then indifference and boos rest of the game. Dwight played super hard in the playoffs and was a huge reason why the Rockets made it to the WCF two seasons ago and if it wasn't for the injury he suffered in game 1 of the WCF we could have pushed the warriors even further that year.

    Cheer him. Boo McFail, John Brewer and Triple Chin Maury to an extent.

    last year was just a nightmare in general. if last year didn't happen, we would be giving him a standing ovation, so if i was there, I'd just do a soft golf clap while sitting in my chair. I don't think he deserved to be booed but he did quit on the team, but pretty much the whole team did

    I just want to see Hack-a-Dwight to enjoy it from the opposing team.

    He should have ran the pick and roll more.

    Im extremely happy to see that houston isnt full of haters. He chose us as a free agent over lakers and always tried to not piss the city off.

    I would cheer for him

    My mind set also. We did make it to the Western Cofrence Finals.

    Since Dwight has a weakness for wanting to be liked, we should sign Josh Smith to a 10day contract just to run this play after the first timeout, that Jason Terry pulled on JR Smith earlier this season.



    Josh would distract Dwight with a surprise, nostalgic hug during the play...live on TNT!!! I really think we can pull off this sucker play.

    If I was there, I'd cheer for him during intros and then boo him when he shoots free throws(but not when he merely touches the ball). He did nothing wrong. He didn't leave in a punk manner like Parsons or badmouth the organization after he was gone. He was here 3 years. We made the playoffs every year. He helped get us to the WCF in 2015 and did everything he could(aside from hit free throws) to defeat Portland in 2014. That's all. No bad blood.

    LMAO. Yes, the JJ Fatt guy whose team is much better without him. The same JJ Fatt guy that led his team to 2-14 EMBARASSMENT and then a 30-0 HUMILIATION at home.

    1. Dwight would never have such records
    2. Hakeem has done more for the city than anyone. Currently, Harden does more for the city than anyone.

    Dwight quit on us.. Never forget. I'm always surprised how easy it is for fans to forgive him for that... Rockets also would have been a better team if he did the things that he is doing in Atlanta. That doesn't make anyone angry? I was a defender of Dwight (that **** was exhausting), it's probably why I dislike him so much now..

    I wish I had the energy to boo chump-ass Dwight.. I'm embarrassed I care enough for this dude to annoy me so much.

    I hope Dwight trips on the Logo!

    I just want to see Capela render Dwight obsolete tomorrow, and we clobber the heck out of the Hawks.

    he will be booed just because there will be plenty of fans just following the trend of hating on Dwight because he gave up on the rockets last year and forgetting that he helped vastly improve the Rockets in year 1 & 2. I wouldn't boo him at all, he's the first top tier super star to ever choose Houston as a destination, he wanted it to work. It's not like he got traded here, had a bad attitude, never did anything good and gave up on the team.

    A polite quiet clap - no need to be rude.

    Completely agree, and he's been a headcase for every team he's played for so far. With Dwight, there's always some sort of off the court drama. Something tells me he gets more kicks from that than he does winning games.

    He did quit on us but that doesn't mean that he did great things for the organization. If we put everything in a balance I firmly believe that the good outweighs the bad. T-Mac also quit on us and it was way more obvious and yet he will get his day on April.

    Cheer him Houston. His first year was great for us. Literally the only player that show up in the Portland series. Got to the WCF because of him
