Did you watch the Western Conference Finals last year? Refs are never going to be on our side against them
1) dont initiate contact on offense and expect a call - and b**** when u dont get it... 2) dont flop and expect a call - and b**** when u dont get it.... 3) dont step at the refs sideways...
It's actually not just the rockets. Look at the astros, won the world series barely any national coverage. Imagine for a second if the Dodgers won we'd still be getting confetti out our hair.We kinda like that team they love to hate imho. Imagine being a team like the magic, or nets that get 0 coverage. I've faced the fact that the sports media will NEVER be on our side period. It's almost like a running joke to sports journalist about the rockets. Also who ever is in charge of the rockets "hype machine" here in Houston needs to be fired! I hardly ever hear anything positive about the team until post season. Barely any marketing on the team's accomplishments. Hard to even tell we have the MVP, hard to tell we even have a HOF point guard, hard to tell we just acquired top scorer in NBA history etc etc. It's like folks outside of clutchfans and a few of my friends don't know what's goin on with Houston until we make the wcf. Also having an empty arena does have bearing. If the fans in your city dont/cant show up to games to support the team why would they care about being on our side? Looking at past OKC games and their fans its truly embarrassing.
I truly think it is all jealousy, we live in a stable economy, with decent weather, and very low cost of living. All of our sports teams are packed with all stars and are interesting to follow. As a sport’s fan Houston is one of the best places to live, IMO. Even if we don’t get unbiased officiating for our hometown team. #Iamstillbelieving.
