[No Bandwagoners] Don't cheer for the team if you didn't go through this:

Ahh yes the "Loveable Losers" of the Adelman era. Not quite good enough to make the playoffs, and not quite bad enough to secure a high draft pick. Stuck in mediocrity. Thats when everyone 'loved' the ROX and swore 'next year they will make noise"

How far we've come is right, now everyone hates our guts! LOL and I much prefer this way, means we're doing something right.

 

Fun fact: every NBA fan is a bandwagoner, because at some point of their life they jumped smaller or larger bandwagon of some kind. If you're from Houston and you call yourself Rockets fan - you are a bandwagoner. If you are from Houston and you proudly declare that RGV Vipers is your favorite team in the world and you don't love Rockets, only then you are not a bandwagoner.
I watched every Rockets game for 3 years now, only because DMO plays here. Most of these games I watched live. They usually start ~2-5AM my time. I even stayed late to watch all those games I knew DMO wasn't going to play. Injured or just in a doghouse. Am I a bandwagoner? YES I am. Because First two years of DMO era, especially first year, I LOVED watching Rockets style. This year's Rockets are ugly to watch, but I still watched every game. Am I a bandwagoner? Yes, like I said, everyone is. Only difference between bandwagoners is the circumstances under which they joined one or another bandwagon at some point of their life.
I'm a huge fan of best team in my country for 15 years. And I am a bandwagoner, because I started folowing that team when it was popular thing to do.

 

fun fact: nba, where bandwagoners live. lol.

 

I'm down with Bandwagon fans. Not everyone can be a diehard.

 

I actually joined Clutchfans to vent about my hate of Brad Miller.

 

nah, i was a bandwagoner since mcgrady joined houston... been a real fan when houston almost beat lakers in secnd round 09...

 

Bandwagoners pay salaries and keep teams profitable.

100% pro-bandwagon

 

Thbbt.

Everyone but 99ers are bandwagoners.

 

Ironically, if it weren't for us not making the playoffs that year, we wouldn't be where we are now. We likely wouldn't have torn that team apart to get Harden.

 

That game was rough. Poor Brad Miller...

We've come a long way, but still got some work to do tonight!

 

Um....I was sitting courtside (Thanks, Jerry)


That was a horrible game to be wearing red. The Suns' fans had so much fun at my expense, along with my mom. It was her first "Suns" game since I moved to this desert.


Brad Miller....why did you do this to us?



....I miss RA either way.

 

Wow! I think you can say the same about me. Hadn't thought about that before. I'm almost 35 and think I first got here in '97, 18 years ago.

And if you think Cluchfans started in '99, you're a bandwagoner.

 

Lmao man that's funny as hell looking back

 

Ah, we've come a long way since the days where we cheered on a team full of role players that just played with heart. When we would rely on the likes of Camby and Dalembert for big minutes. When fans would have a year after year debate on whether or not we would want to make the playoffs or not because we would always end up with the last lottery pick.

Could you believe how excited we were when we got Kevin Martin?!?!?!?!

I think K-Mart is someone who made some fans cringe at the thought of believing in Harden at first. But man, are we lucky now. I know these last couple of games have been tough, but I think now we are watching a team with talent AND heart. I haven't enjoyed watching a Rockets team like this in a while, and it feels good knowing Harden is only 25.

 

When did Clutchfans start? I remember visiting the site back in the '97 season(wasn't it ClutchCity.com back then?). Was it around before that? I remember the April Fools gags every year. I was amazed how people fell for it every time.

 

Bandwagoners are the best bro. Haters are the worst.

 

Lol, Bill Worell sounds like he wants to kill himself.

 

It started in '96. Yes, it was ClutchCity.net, but "Clutch City" is a registered trademark of the Rockets so Clutch changed the name around 2003.

I remember the second April Fools gag, which was in '98, but know I had been here a little while before then, probably since the Fall of '97.
