1356. You post reason number 1356 just to get the 500th post in the "1000 signs you're a Rockets Fanatic (obsessed)" thread.
1358. When some one say something bad about Hakeem and you are ready to fight them even if what they said is proberly true. 1359. Whne someone say something bad about Steve and Yao and you are ready to fight them even if what they said is proberly true. 1360. you want to retire all the jersey numbers from the championship years. 1361. you thing Robert Horry could have been better than Scottie Pippin. 1362You man because Ewing is coming instead of Mo. Malone or Hakeem even thought Malone and Dream never said they wanted to coach full time. 1363. You wanted to cry when it was announce that Rudy had cancer like he is related to you 1364. You played 2Pac and B.I.G. allday when Rudy stepped down like he die or something. 1365. Jay-Z is you new favorate rapper..............if you hate rap -------U-kno-wha-I-mean 1366. You thing Jay-Z should perform the song "La La la la" at the Halftime of a game 1367. You stop watching ESPN after the NBA draft and do not watch it again untill NFL and college Football go to camp. 1368. and finally........you do not get mad at the sorry supporting cast that the Rockets have now for Steve and Yao because you remember what it was like PCY (Pre Champ Years) When it was dream had to work with name like Cheivius, Buck Johnson, Sleepy, anthiny Bowie, dave Feitl, World B Free, (past his Prime), Steve Harris, Dave Jamerson, Frank Johnson, Cedric Maxwell (past his prime). Tim Mccormick, and chuck nevitt
1369. You are watching a Westy Coast Rox/SEA game with a 9 PM start that actually starts later than 9. Early in the game the Rockets are playing like crap and are down by 16 in the first half but you stay up until 11:45 to watch it because you "have a feeling" they will win. And you have to be up at 4:45 AM. 1370. When they do win you stay up until 12:30 to watch the highlights on SportsCenter not caring that you have to be up at 4:45 AM.
Oh wow. I was reading this thread for the first couple pages thinking this was all a new development. Then, I finally noticed it was from 2001 and suddenly remembered that I had in fact seen this before. 1372. You are a college student with limited funds and spend a very large portion of your bank account, $232.31 to be exact on authentic Houston Rockets home and away shorts. 1373. You tell everyone you know that CD has been a genius this year and is really helping the Rockets in the long run by the moves he's been making this year. 1374. You love every player on the team and can't say bad things about them. 1375. The days when the Rockets lose leave you feeling empty, bitter, angry, sad, etc. 1376. You contemplate assinating Karla Malone if given the chance because you really do detest him and he truly makes your blood boil. 1377. You lash out at non-obsessed fans for talking negatively about the Rockets.
1378 you stay awake the entire night to read about a game on the chat of your favo BBS. because you cannot see it.
1379) You refer to 7:47 left in the game as a jumbo jet 1380) you wonder what happened to Ivey Maclamore 1381) You remeber how much time was left on the clock when Sampson made the shot to kill the lakers in 1986 1382) You have a Rocket shirt for every day of the week 1383) one of the top three reasons you miss Houston is the Rockets 1384) If you live outside of Houston and people refer to you as the rocket man or that rocket fan 1385) You feel good knowing that Karla will never get a ring
These are all (sadly) true: 1386) You still wonder how, after every rockets game, you're beer supply has mysteriously diminished. I swear I don't think I drink that much during the game but everyone tells me I'm chuggin' beer like a fool. 1387) You still regret throwing away the chronicle sports pages for EVERY SINGLE playoff game that you had saved for ~five years after the two title seasons. WTF was I thinking!?! *sobs quietly* 1388) You remember listening to Peterson on the radio late at night on your headphones because you're parents had sent you to bed before the game was over. 1389) A really nice bartender at one of your favorite places refers to you affectionately as "that rockets loony" and puts up with your frquent curses directed at the TV.
1390 You stay awake the entire night to read and talk about the game even though you saw it and have it tivoed.
For old times sake: 1392. The Rockets are headed for the lottery, but you're pumped about the last four games because Jon Barry will be announcing.
awesome i didnt know he was announcing. 1393. You sleep with all the rockets powerd dancers because you feel like your doing it for the team.
1394. You don't like old threads being dredged up, but you won't close this one because you know it would just be wrong.
1395. You've always secretly wished this topic would be resurrected someday 1396. You every win on tape from the 99-00 season to the 03-04 season 1397. You have all the draft coverage from every year, including draft lotteries and subsequent news coverage 1398. You get made fun of for making friends on an internet message board, but you just roll your eyes and say "You wouldn't understand." 1399. You are still a die hard fan of Maryland basketball - no, not because of Steve Francis, because of Walt Williams 1400. Your lifelong dream has been to work for the Rockets organization.
wow it's up to 1400, i hope these havent been posted before 1401. Any video from the championship years brings a tear to your eye 1402. You blame losing the 1986 Finals on Jerry Sichting 1403. You have a little love for Craig Ehlo, because he was once a Rocket, but won't admit it to anybody 1404. Calvin Murphy can do no wrong
1406. You know the guy that wants Steve Francis back is flat out CRAZY, but you don't mind him saying it because he's a Rockets fan.
