    When they lined up days before the actual game for limited count championship rings, that's all you should know about how much houstonians wanted them

    that's yet another point you missed

    Texans suck, and baseball sucks, but that doesn’t stop the Rockets from getting shown little love in this city

    Baseball tickets are cheaper than basketball tickets.

    That being said, Tillman should impose a rule that if the seat isn't filled by the tip off the seat can be sold at half face value to the first person who requests.

    See how much you'll be late or absent then.

    This doesn’t seem that complicated to me.

    $$$$

    The cost for me to take my kids to a basketball game vs baseball game is generally statistically significantly more.

    Grayson Allen will solve the disconnect.

    As they should be. They play meaningless games until the summer and have to sit through 4 hours of a slow ass sport.

    You'd have to pay me to watch a baseball game in a ballpark.

    So what?

    The Rockets had 18,000+ Fans STRANDED OVERNIGHT three years ago (Memorial Day) in TC. Now that’s dedication to a team!

    Uuuuuhhhhhh..... :confused:

    I did attend for the ring but it was a great game. This was my 3rd game of the year.

    Maybe if some rockets fans were less worried about offending some fat wannabe bbq queen wife of an opposing player and attended games and screamed theirs assses off....the atmosphere at rockets games would be better

    Would you be attending a rockets game if you bought a ticket and the weather was bad? To me that's loyalty. And Stros are a World Championship team that have earned their fans respect.

    Get the championship again and we'll see the same thing too for the rox. Until then, the warriors are champions until dethroned.

    Why is it sad? THe stros earned their fans respect by being champions, something the rockets almost did. Rockets have to be champs like the astros to get better support.

    Baseball sucks to you. At least they don't have a league where there are teams like GS.

    We get it, our crowds are an embarrassing and it was put on stage during the playoffs.

    Nothing we can do about it, it's up to management to fix this problem.

    Meaningless games? More than half of the NBA makes the playoffs, while One Man has made the Championship Series for nearly a decade straight. The First Round features a long 7-games where one team has <5% chance of winning. The league has only had 4 different champions outside of One Man over the same decade. Freakin FOUR consecutive Championship Series Matchups of the EXACT same teams is beyond a joke and represents THE definition of boring.
    Stop hating because the fan support of your bball squad sucks.

    As much as you complain about NBA officiating (not that I disagree), you should never knock any other sport.

    Rockets could hand out pamphlets with the reviews to Ayesha Curry's restaurant?

    WE get it. You don't like baseball. But understand the game before you talk. Even baseballs all star game has relevance. Btw, the avg baseball game is less than 3 hours. smh
