    Ok, you got me there!

    Jon Barry really burns me because I actually really liked him as a player. But he has to be the most aggravating color commentator out there. I would listen to Reggie Miller 1000 times if I could avoid hearing his commentary for game 6. Such a grating and whiney voice. I have no idea whether he is really biased for or against any particular team, but the tone of his commentary was so mocking and sarcastic, I really have no idea why he has a job. Who wants to listen to that?

    I thought Kenny had always liked us. I mean he did pick James Harden to win the 3-point contest this past allstar...

    You guys are funny, you want these commentators to stop "hating" and the moment they do they are bandwagon fans!

    I think Kenny has subconsciously always rooted for the rockets

    You have a lack of rockets history.
    Kenny averaged almost 18 points and 7 assists his first season with the rockets.

    We haven't had a steady starter at point guard since kenny smith.

    You can hate him on tnt, but get your history straight

    Yep. He doesn't have to be a homer, but he should show some respect.

    He wouldn't be analying anything if it wasn't for Houston.

    What's so great about these bandwagon fans? Not hard to pick the team that just came back from 19 down :rolleyes:

    Give me a guy like JVG who consistently pulled for the Rox over these guys anyday. At least Kenny is honest in saying he didn't like the team, Chuck keeps on hating on the rockets and then flip flopping when they start winning.

    Kyle Lowry can kick the crap out of Kenny Smith any day. Rather than focusing on that small period of Rockets history you should catch up on the 20+ years that has happened since Olajuwon went back2back.

    I think you forgot Stevie Franchise... He was far far better than Kenny Smith.

    I'm 38.. I was around back then.. shed my tears for the Rockets.. but How a Two-Time Back to Back World Champion "Hop" off the Team that made your Career? Like Michael Jordan hopping off the Bulls! Kenny was all about Houston.. this city.. the Clubs.. back then.. then he got the Gig at TNT up in Atlanta where he once played for the Hawks.. and got all big headed!! He will quick to shine his ring at Barkley on the set... Screw Kenny.. Today in the Moment.. He couldn't even come to the 20 year anniversary...

    So a guy does everything possible to distance himself and then hops back in because it reminds him of his clutch city days. well u know it won't take much for him to disappear again. he's not part of the family like so many for ex-rockets are. best to ignore him.

    maybe you should learn math and reading comprehension first before you talk about Rockets history.

    How many years was Kyle Lowry the starting point guard for the Rockets?
    How many years was Kenny Smith?

    Kenny Smith's best season he averaged almost 18 and 7 which is better than any Lowry season.
    Plus let's not forget POST SEASON.

    So go to your room and learn about Rockets history before you step up against a 99er.

    KENNY SMITH

    1. He only played 33 games for the Hawks

    2. He and Charles do the NCAA Tournament every year so they couldn't be anywhere else

    3. Kenny's job is to comment on analyze teams, the only member of the 20th anniversary team who's sole job is to figure out how to destroy the Rockets is Sam Cassell sitting on the Clippers bench. Oh he wasn't there either, he had a job to do. Are you mad at him too?

    Kenny Smith backtracking a bit on the Clutch City support, apparently they have to make a comeback now to really deserve it - Inside the NBA after game 2

    Touche. I knew it. T-man comes up with his ridiculous analogies and some do not even sound right.

    This one is 100% not right.
