So, the Rockets posted on facebook that they were asking fans to share their favorite Yao memories (why they decided a good month after his retirement to do this NOW is beyond me). So I looked at the comments. Dustin from New Mexico says: Miguel from Houston says Toye from Houston says And my personal favourite is Jessica, who refuses to say where she's from: I know Yao really didn't accomplish much with this team, but I enjoyed having him here and watching him play. Here's to a (hopeful) near end to the lockout! Cheers!
Non-story here, in my opinion. Everything on the internet that asks for comments and opinions will always have some negativity involved. Whether it be from sports, religion, death, or even a good act, negativity will always be present.
Normally I wouldn't even consider reading the comments let alone posting them here. But there's nothing basketball related, and I'm going through withdrawal. Damnit Stern! Can't you see what the lockout has done!
Good point. Nowadays, I always joyfully log on to CF hoping to get some juicy deets, but I keep forgetting about this damn lockout... at least CFB is about to start.
They sound like a bunch of truly dedicated fans whose opinions are worth listening to. Oh wait, it's facebook, where the scum of the Earth is going to post the first bit of verbal diarrhea that they can produce without needing to meet any minimum level of fandom or fear any repercussion. Collectively, the entire group of people who have responded to that status have probably watched one full season of Rockets games.
More like ignorant fair weather fans. I bet they were cheering when we finally made it past the first round.
You should care about what you think about the Rockets more than what others think. Facebook? What's next? Google +? Somebody on MySpace doesn't like Yao? You can spend your time learning about the Rockets and forming your own opinion than thinking about what others say.
Hmm, I would think people are more careful about posting dumb, racist s*** on facebook, since your identity is open to see. But then again, this is what happens when facebook lets itself down the Myspace road of universal access.
It's not that bad. Many of us are bitter. It's not about Yao though. It's about the disappointment we feel at the end of consecutive seasons. Yao is just the icing on the cake. I do agree, though, that it is time to move on from the Yao focus. Include him in some part of Rockets mgmt, but that chapter is closed. We'd do ourselves better by pushing for Patrick to develop...and... ...disposing of Jordan Hill. Heck, I'd take Brian Cook back for him. At least he's not afraid to shoot the ball.
