Rockets Superstitions

I have this feeling like If I don't watch the game, the Rockets will lose and if they do lose I regret not watching it because I could of had an affect on the outcome of the game.

For some reason, I get uncomfortable If I watch the game with someone else. Prefer to watch the games by myself.

BTW shouldn't this be 'Rockets Habits on Game Day' instead of Superstitions?

 

Somebody send Butterfingers to all Rockets playoff games.

 

I am only 3-0 (nothing compared to 9-0) when I go to the Rockets games.


1)06-07 Home opener against The Mavs, 30 point blowout

2)Game 1 of the 06-07 Playoffs vs the Jazz won by 9
3)Game 2 of the 06-07 Playoffs vs the Jazz won by 8


I want to go to a close game for once. My next game is March 18th vs Boston.

I hope my record holds! I'm pretty sure a WC team will have beaten the Celtics by then.

 

I always get wasted drunk after the Rockets lose.

I guess thats not a superstition or habit, it just helps me numb the pain

 

I have been to 3 Rockets games at the Staples Center and the Rockets have won all three of them (2 vs. Clippers last year, Opening night @ Lakers). I always get my seat to the left of the Rockets bench so that the players can see me waving my jerseys and stuff so I know I give them some extra energy!

 

i'm 1-0 at the compaq center
and 0-3 at the toyota center

 

i clap before an opposing player shoots a free throw. But i have to clap as soon as the foul is called, that way the wind can travel to the arena and slightly alter the shot just enough for them to miss...its possible

 

that's a very good reason to tear down TC. That house sucks big time.

 

i never post at the game thread unless the post will be at the first page.

 

Get your girlfriend checked by a psychic for bad karma.

 

depth perception arena is cursed

last season i would wear my throwback tmac jersey whenever the games got close and normally we'd pull ourselves out.

but earlier in this season, everytime i watched, we would be up and lose. it happened in both philly games, the celtics game, first mavs game and the lakers game at TC, etc etc. ugh...i really thought i was a curse.

but i ended up buying some tickets to the spurs v. rockets game and i dont know what happened but matt bonner must've have broken my jinx. we've been 15 of 18 ever since pretty much.

no "pre game rituals" or anything like that this year. I either try to listen to it on the radio or just catch it on tv.

 

I mute the TV if we're losing that usually kicks off a little run for us. That's what is so good about last night - stress free.

At the start of the season, i noticed that we always lost those games in which Yao had won the tip-offs, it was DEADLY arcuate for a stretch of nearly 10 games, not working anymore btw.

 

and also never EVER check the Game Tread before the tip-off, that's just asking for trouble..

 

4-2 at the TC.
Whenever I go to the games and they play a western conference opponent they lose...


So I always try to go see an eastern opponent because I'm 4-0.

The 2 losses have come from the jazz (May 5 -game 7)
and lakers game this season (november 14th)

 

maybe cuz T-mac never hits a "buzzer beater"

 

For some reason, when I am totally non-cognizant of a game we're playing that day, we end up winning. That applies in general when I don't watch some of their games. Ironically our recent turnaround happened after I decided not to follow the Rockets for a while, specifically after that Philly game. Up until recently I did not even as much as glanced at the GARM, nor looked up anything about related to the Rockets.

Also, does anyone keep a record of our record on national TV? Because I think we have a losing record based on nationally televised games, especially on ESPN. But for some reason, it always seem that we do really well when TNT is televising us.

 

yeah, maybe

 

Whenever any announcer mentions Yao's excellent FT shooting, he misses one.
