    You have to be 100 years old to be a Rockets fan?

    I would do anything, anything to be old enough during that era.

    You're a Rockets fan if you remember Patrick Ewing was one of our assistants for a few.

    You're a Rockets fan if you look at the Raptors roster and say to yourself "didnt most of them used to be here?"
    You're a Rockets fan if you broke a chair when Steve Novak hit that game winner against the Kings in a quarter we only scored 10 points.
    You're a Rockets fan if you remember thinking Steve Francis and Beyonce was going to be the next big thing.

    You're a Rockets fan if your hatred for illegal screens goes back to Karl Malone.

    Thanks for that compliment! I was never a run with the crowd type. That's why I love James Harden.

    If you wrote F*CK LA on top of your shaved head & wore a Rockets cap so you could tip your hat to Laker Fans.

    When you are bleeding out, you might be a Houston Rocket fan if you stick your finger into the pool of blood and trace out an R with a Halo.

    According to the 99ers you have to be in your mid to late 30s at a minimum and more likely in your mid 40s to 60s

    If you find it impossible to support the jazz in this series even if it goes to our advantage to have them win

    You might be a Houston Rocket fan If you cancelled your subscription to Sports Illustrated and threw your free sneaker phone into the wall when they put Ernie Stewart on the cover instead of the new World Champion Houston Rockets, who were relegated to page 32.

    Right, but what does it - Rockets fans have a deep rooted hatred for the jazz. Also, there is no such thing as a clippers fan. It literally doesn't exist. The clippers are to LA what Sergio Llull is to the Rockets.

    That is easily the best Rudy impersonation I've seen. Spot on.

    ... you realize how important CD has been to this franchise.

    ...you cheered on Mike Dunleavy for free chicken.

    ...gave James Worthy a standing ovation when he ran in late after "the Stouffer Sting".
