    I thought about liking his post just to so he could have his first one... But then I figured it would be better to see how long the streak could go

    They are trying to get a new arena built in SF, but they'll always be known as the Oakland Warriors to me.

    It would really chap his ass if the Rockets won a chip in Tilman's first season as owner.

    This is true. Our fans (us), like our players, should take “unproven” as a challenge. Step up.

    Yes, the like system is only about two years old.

    I've been super active for five years, so my conclusion is that he was on a long hiatus.

    hahaha...TC sounds like the local library during the regular season, but I do expect the place to be rocking when we face them in the WCF

    Here’s one thing Houston Rockets fans have over Warriors fans: Global Influence. I’m living in China right now, and there are quite a few real Rockets fans that got drawn in when Yao was playing and never stopped following the team. I have a friend from Ghana who’s a fan of the Rockets because his dad was a fan of Hakeem (oddly enough, the same reason that I’m a Rockets fan)

    Yes, other teams, including the Warriors, have international fans, but at least from what I’ve seen in China, there are a lot fewer die-hard fans than the Rockets have. Most are fans of the NBA that bandwagon onto the flavor of the season, e.g. the Warriors.

    Short version: **** off, Lacob. We’re going to UN your ass

    he's right. the rockets aren't as proven as the warriors, and we did have an embarrassing amount of empty lower bowl seats during last year's playoff games.

    What team has the best home record in the NBA? The Rockets

    What team has the best road record in the NBA? The Rockets

    The Rockets are the team that has proven they can win anywhere this season.

    It will all be decided soon enough.

    And it will be plenty loud in Toyota Center come playoff time.

    Want a preview of what the Toyota Center crowd will sound like during the playoffs? Listen at the end of the Phoenix game.

    Playoffs are different, reg season half of the arena is empty, but is not the same in the playoffs, actually we have one of the loudest arenas during the playoffs

    Warriors have been my second favorite team since the Stephen Jackson era... but in recent years although I still like their style, their fans and owner are getting way too arrogant and annoying. Show some respect to the team with the best record in the NBA.

    That's rich coming from a bandwagon fanbase full of former Laker fans

    Let's see how long Warrior "fans" are there after Rockets win the ring this year

    Poorer than corporations? Yes. Cheaper? Hard to say when most don’t have the opportunities to buy lower bowl seats to begin with.
