    I watch almost as many games as ever. However the lack of height & not being able to control the boards make it not as much fun as it used to be.

    I still try to watch as many games as I can but I have stopped trying to rearrange my schedule just to watch the games which I used to do.

    One other thing is that I have stopped getting upset whenever the Rockets lose, unlike the previous seasons. Last season, and the current one, have been too predictable and lifeless.

    The only real time I enjoyed watching was during those short moments when Ish was playing and was allowed to use his skills and instincts to create. Otherwise, que sera sera.

    Hard to watch the NBA in general....it's become predictable on who is going to win and this constant superpower teams.

    I am just bitter we are on the wrong side.

    Tune in but watch less because they put me to sleep before the half. Say what you want about TMac and Yao but Jimmie Kimmel ain't interviewing anybody on this team.

    I watched every game the last 2 seasons, but this year, I usually don't even know when they are playing. They are just boring now, absolutely no excitement, and they suck. I already had to go out of my way to watch them in the past because I do not live in Houston anymore, but now I rarely bother.

    Yep , I watched every game I could back then , even cut out the two for one ticket cupons from the Post or the bread packages a dozen or so times.

    I will say I was PISSED OFF to see Moses Malone traded .... for Caldwell Jones only to watch Philly walts to a title not to mention another MVP for Malone.

    This team sucks....tuff love!!!! It feels like 5 Rafer Alstons are on the court at all times. Kyle lowry & Shane were shooting us back into the game last night........hahahaaa.... Yikes!!! Wish I could get paid like Brad Miller and do not nothing. Must be nice, most bums hang out at stop lights and make signs that say " Why lie!! I need beer!!"
    The only player I root for these days is ish........cause he is the ish. Everyone else plays like shi.!!! :-( Watch every game but I always have a spotter in case I jump.

    I admit I watch the Rockets less this season than any other season since I have been a rabid, obsessed fan.

    Watch every game. This season has to get better I keep on telling myself and with the trading deadline coming up my hopes are for the best. I know I maybe setting myself for a huge let down but I am a fanatic when it comes to the Rockets. I have been a loyal fan since 79 when I was 14. :)

    I hardly have watched them the past two seasons, and I do miss my Rockets. However, I can't stand watching Houston teams lose, I think The Texans this year took alot out of me and don't wanna go through that headache.

    This team like many said is boring, to me they are a bunch of rent - a - players who most of them will not be here in 2 years. I was more excited and watched The Rockets consistently even during the Francis/Mobley days because that was a team building for the future with exciting young players.

    This team now and last years is a patch up job, a team under construction so to speak.

    No, I still watch the ones that school allows me to. I'm no bandwagon fan. My opinions and analysis are not derived from watching one game, I commit and carry through on my commitment.

    I've only missed one or two games since the dvr screwed up on the recording.

    This season I've been using the fast forward button a lot. It makes the games a lot more watchable.

    I record the games on two DVR's. One in my living room and the one in my bedroom, and watch every game. If it's a really good game, especially a good game that we won (which are all good games this season. in the past, we could have a bad game and still win frequently, but no longer), then I'll keep it for a long time on the DVR in the bedroom and watch them during the off-season when I need a Rockets fix. I frequently end up watching the game late because I was out, but I'm careful not to find out the score and certainly don't check out ClutchFans until I've seen it. If anyone ever noticed me posting in a rage of frustration at 3am, that's why.

    This season hasn't been good for my health at all. I'm amazed I haven't developed an ulcer. Seriously.

    Yes. There are better things to do. The Rockets were about heart and hustle, but those days are gone.

    I DVR them as well .... and save a select few But the main reason for the DRV is so I can fast forward thru the comercials and half time - I generally watch each game 45 minutes to an hour behind. Gives me time to have dinner , and make sure the kids have their homework done ...


    I hate comercials.
