Hilarious! That cheer always makes me unfomfortable because I always think the other team is laughing at us. I would if I were them. "HOU - STON (dead silence) ROC - KETS!! (dead silence)"
So was the problem ticket prices in the 2nd round playoff series against Phoenix in '94 too? Is it ticket prices that makes it the quietest arena in the league, even when it's almost full? You don't have to go to 41 games a year. As big as Houston is, if everyone just went to 1 game there wouldn't be a problem.
I thought Randall's actually did buy them (by league rules to avoid blackout) and then they sold them in their stores. i'm not that sure of that, though.
I know. It's sad. There seems to be about 10,000 die hard Rocket fans (most on this BBS) in the whole city of Houston. The rest are fair-weather. But, of course, when he Rockets start winning they claim they've been die-hard fans ever since.
