Probably next season. I'm going to buy me the shirt. Then the west conference shirt. Then the championship shirt.
And for those "SMH" to buying a division champion gear, look, the team has done nothing for 17-18 years. Yeah, I'm gonna cheer for a division championship. If we were the spurs that won it year in and year out, than yeah it would be stupid to get excited over this. But houston has had nothing to be excited for in years.
This ain't the Atlantic division. We are talking about the most competitive division in all of sports. Be proud
No joke, right? People saying it's pathetic to celebrate this have no idea what they are talking about. Huge achievement, hopefully first of many for this squad.
We won a division where every team made the playoffs and that includes the reigning champs. All while being more injured than nearly every other team in the league. That Southwest Claimed shirt means a lot. I'll be buying one or several.
People just like to hate, just like the idiots in the jersey thread saying nobody should ever wear a jersey if they don't play sports or whatever the ****. I say if you feel like it, do it and spread the positivity everywhere you go! If you don't, just shut your mouth. No reason to come in here and bash people who want to support the Rockets and who want to rock a division champions shirt!
man - to the people saying this division championship doesnt mean anything, you're off your rocker. 1) the rockets dethroned the spurs in the tim duncan era and mavs in the dirk era for the first time. 2) the rockets won a division with 5 45+ win teams in it - that's as many 45+ win teams as the ENTIRE EASTERN CONFERENCE. 3) the rockets won a division with 5 playoff teams in it - the only time in history a division has had 5 teams with winning records that all made the playoffs 4) the rockets won the division with something like 180 games missed by rotation players due to injury 5) support your bleeping team, jerks you'll need a red shirt for the first round games anyway, what better one than this? celebrate! then celebrate more after the mavs series and buy that shirt too even though its only a "first round" tshirt" then celebrate and buy tshirts until we get all the way there!
I celebrated at Toyota Center after we beat Utah and stayed for the finish of the Pelicans/Spurs game while others left. I just find it pointless to buy a division champs shirt. Only shirts for the playoffs I would buy is if we win the NBA title. Not hating at all.
