    My question is, and I wonder if anyone else has noticed this, how come NBA.COM never gives the Rockets love. They have every now and then, but these big Rocket wins never get front page pictures. The T'wolves and the Spurs always do, or the Lakers, it is unfair in my opinion. This is a really good, and surging team that NBA.COM should respect

    My how quickly the Memphis loss is forgotten.

    The Rockets are on a 2-0 run. Big deal. This should have been their sixth straight. Then they would have been on the front page of NBA.com.

    I agree that Houston is often slighted, but they're not that deserving at the moment.

    NBA.com is run by 14 year olds who don't know what a zone defense is. **** what they think, we are the Carolina Panthers of the NBA, you can continue to ignore us until we're in the Big Dance.

    I'd say that ABC and ESPN love the Rockets...

    ...I like that better.

    Memphis is playing great basketball right now. They defeated Sac King yesterday. Their recent play was not a fluke.

    Thanks for the posts guys, I agree, the ABC and ESPN games are much more important. And the nation sees how good we are :)

    Go to ESPN right now....absolutely no story on how we just beat the so called "best team in the league" on Nat. TV no less. I think that deserves some credit. But F**K 'em, this team thrives on being the underdog

    I'm sure you don't know what you're talking about. I've seen the Rockets nba.com plenty of times the last 2 seasons (like 10 - 15 I think). I will admit that we never get the respect we deserve but it's not nearly as bad as somebody make it out to be (off the court any ways). nba.com pretty much rotates between the Lakers, Kings, Spurs, Wolves this season, Magic (the required EC team, because of TMac) and Cavs (the newest flavor of the month). Every other team pretty much don't get much unless they're on a 12 game winning streak like the Pistons.

    How about the nba.com article title "Rockets dodge red-hot Pacers"? Definitely makes it sound like the Rocks got lucky.
