    The Rockets have played so bad, that I think there could be a superstitious reason on why they stink.

    I fully expected JHo to be somewhere in the poll. Tinman, I'm disappointed in you. You're slipping.

    I agree. I thought all of them down the line would be J. Howard, J. Howard, or J. Howard. Very disappointing...

    I also thought of a couple others that just didnt make it.

    the attack of the clones: Derrick Anderson=Shannon Anderson

    the curse of Steve Francis: ghost of Steve purposely causes our guards to turn the ball over

    the curse of Dom Capers: offense is too conservative, needs to open the game

    the curse of Brad Lidge: can't close out the game

    the curse of Adidas: really stupid Tmac commercials causing the whole team to suck

    I think the curse started at game 3 of the playoffs last year at Dallas. As soon as McGrady made the whole team wear black shoes as a show of solidarity, things got real bad, real quick.

    i believe it.
    we never won with those crappy pajama uniforms that barkley hated.

    if the team has to wear ugly tmac adidas shoes, then that could cause the problems.

    THe curse? I brought League pass.

    During my time at UT, the only year I bought football season pass is...

    Yep. The year UT got beat by UCLA 66-3.

    Yes, me too. I finally splurged and got it and then...look at this. And the worst thing about it is when the Rockets suck it makes me lose my taste for all of the NBA. Games on 6 channels at a time and I don't want to watch any of them! Ugh! Glad my $200 was well spent :rolleyes:


    However, I also propose an alternate theory : The Curse of the Astros

    After the Astros broke their jinx in such a big way, it seems obvious there is no good luck to spare for Houston sports teams. Although I'm more of a Rockets fan, I guess its a fair trade off (as long as its only this season).
