I was at the Dallas game Friday night and was amazed at how lame the Dallas crowd was. Seemed completely uninterested, I was decked out in Rockets gear and got 0 smack-talk, the arena never got loud, and you could noticeably hear several Rockets MVP chants throughout the game, and after the game in the tunnels to go outside of the stadium loud "Lets Go Rockets!" chants started. I feel like most of the Dallas fans are just there to take pictures and say they went. Everything there is corporate-y, family friendly, and overall just very lame. The Mavs were about to lose at the end of the game, and the jumbo-tron was showing Dallas fans with huge smiles dancing. Their PA announcer was so lame too ("Come on Mavs fans, awesome job in the first half but its the 4th quarter so I challenge you guys to be even louder! Come on fans, Lets go Mavs!!") If any Dallas fan thinks they have a chance to win this series they are delusional.
The two kids that were expelled for leading the OU fraternity racist chant were from Dallas. I'm not surprised they would sink that low. I haven't seen fewer minorities in lower level seats since a Utah Jazz home game.
Have you BEEN to Toyota Center? Boy do you people like to whine. Hilarious when a harmless "(blahblah) sucks" chant that every single arena does is sinking that "low." Grow up people.
This will never happen, but if the Rockets are up by 10 as the seconds draw down and some Rowdies start a "HOUSTON SUCKS" chant I will donate $50 to the tip jar just to needle the Mavs that much more. This is what fans of the band Primus do at their live shows as an inside joke. Make it happen!!
If the Rockets go on to lose this series, then I will never ever forgive them and will never watch the NBA again at all giving up basketball the rest of my days. And, we will always be the Mavs b****es. Finish this damn thing on Tuesday!
Hope the Rox can bounce back. They did suck. Someone has to stop Barea. He looks like a perennial all-star against us. Funny though the Dallas fans were chanting that as they were down 0-3. Play some D!!
How about just win the freaking next game so we can be done with it. Seriously though... You'd think the Mavs and their fans just wont the title last night. I've never seen a team that happy to win one game when they have such a daunting task of winning 3 more games straight (two away from home). Its like last night was a moral victory or something to just not get swept. So yes... the Houston Sucks chant was pretty sad. I got a laugh out of it, and you should too.
I would actually be more insulted if they DIDN'T chant that. I'll bet you the spurs fans won't chant that. If they do, it means we're doing something right.
My first taste of rivalry with Dallas was in the Astrodome when Dallas played the Oilers in the Luv Ya Blue era. The Cowboys fans were rude and mean-sprited, even to a four-year-old me. It left a bad impression, to say the least. There's some kind of insecurity that's always been there that just rubs me the wrong way.
