If Les Alexander and Mark Cuban switched teams, would the Rockets be better?

I have never understood people who can claim to be fans of two teams playing the same sport and that too two rivals. SOunds like phonies to me

Spurs and Rockets fan? hahha

Just like Rockets and Mavs fan who was postin gon the game thread

How is it possible to be a fan of two rivals? I guess I am too deep rooted in sports to even think of that. I'd rather just puke

but hey may be one day i'll be a United and City fan too

 

I didn't forget Patterson put Rudy T in place. He was like the Bob Watson Rockets GMs. The Astros got Hunsicker to follow Watson's table setting where as the Rockets got Dawson which kept the Astros window of being relevant with their stars open longer.

I just remember Clutch City being fun and having a never say die attitude that was born out of years of heartache from Rudy T getting punched (wrecked potential championship runs in the late 70s) , to Moses Malone leaving, to that 86 core imploding from injuries/drugs, to the Sonics getting the calls in those two games in Japan in 1992 that tipped homecourt in their favor, and in more recent memory, the Moochie Norris experience followed by the injury bug again.

Could really care less about the owner and just want this city to be buzzing again about one of its major sports teams.

 

Root for who is there- root for the owner, the coach, and the team. You're all in it together. We don't root for Duncan and not for Pop- duncan, pop, buford, holt - support everyone associated with your team.

That's where Tinman gets it wrong- I'm not rooting for Toronto Raptor Hakeem against the Rockets, nor am I supporting the Lakers b/c Rudy works for them. I support all tied up with the Spurs- if the owner leaves, bye. But not until then. It's way more fun to include everyone to the party. Scarecrow picks and chooses- let's support champion rockets but trash other ones. How can you be cheering for the Rockets and secretly wish fail on T-Mac? What, you cheer when Yao is going to shoot but boo when T-Mac is? You cheer when Harden shows on TV but boo KMCH and Les? Twisted.

 

A new fan of the Rockets would inherit James Harden. So, no root for Harden? Wait- didn't Les OK the Harden and Howard deals? You guys were staring down 5 years of a lottery crapsand, where some teams stay always, and you're b****ing?? Didn't Les help get you Brewer and Smith- players others wouldn't take? Who did Cuban bring in this year, Rondo and Parsons? Would you all rather have them than Brewer and Smith? Geez, fugged up.

 

When my girlfriend and ex and me all have dinner together at the casa, I'm not for one or the other. I do them both. Heck, they do each other.

 

Umm, OK. For every other owner cept Cubes.

 

Yep. Hated them at the time b/c of that. Moved to SA in 1999. Had to be a fan. Not Dallas. Rather be blind. Like the way Mavs fans already are.

 

Rox haven't played SA in playoffs since I've been here. They played those cheater Mavs, though- finley, cuban- cheats and whores. Send em to belize.

 

Morey and Cuban would be a killer combo IMO.

 

Are you going to pay up or not, welcher-without-honor-Cuban-boy, LosMarkCubanHermanos?

 

Cuban inherited Dirk and Nash, Dirk in his early 20's, Nash in his mid 20's, Les inherited Hakeem but on the wrong side of 30.

 

tinman, unless I am missing some hidden message, you are embarrassing yourself with this Cuban kiss ass.

 

More like the Cuban slip and slide.

 

You live in a place for 14 years (S.A.), you have to show some respect/be a fan. You grow up rooting for a team (Rockets), hard to give that up. You live in Dallas or grow up as a Mavs fan, paint it black.

 

Root for the Rockets when Spurs out of the playoffs (never happens, though). Root for Spurs when Rockets out (sad, too often). Rockets vs. Spurs? H-Town- S.A. with a good team, city a bit skanky. But it's OK. Houston rocks, S.A. decent, Dallas a clappy 1-breasted hooker.

 

Yeah, gave Nash away. hooray, snark puban.
