    I feel exactly the opposite way. I thought the Rockets were much more entertaining to watch this year than in years past. Before Juwan went down the Rockets offense was fun to watch. They did a great job of sharing the ball.

    you forgot to mention that, by taking it to Dallas and Pheonix, teams like the Rockets and the Spurs showed everyone that a defensive team can adjsut to the fast paced game as well

    Yeah...gotta love that "HiGH Octane" basketball!!!!! Wait!! Didn't the Suns lose to "Low Octane" Spurs 4-1 ?

    I think I'd rather resemble the Spurs style of ball and leave it like that.

    Orlando only watched Rocket's ball in November.

    Them avoiding the rest of the season is just flat out denial. They know we are a better team and will be a top 4 team in the west next year.

    Orlando needs to move on.

    This whole ongoing "bash T-Mac" scenario reminds me of the exgirlfriend that doesn't get that it's over and time to move on.

    In the words of Motley Crue, "don't go away mad, just go away."

    Reminds me a lot of the treatment ex-Rockets get here. Francis, most notably, but also Dream when he left, and Elie. Pippen too, but he really had it coming. Very common in fandom.

    I don't think the Houston media bashed Francis nearly as much as Orlando media is with T-Mac. Same with Elie. Fans are another story, but I'm inclined to think that the media was a bit more professional.

    If anything, Houston media was much more critical of Francis when he was still playing here.

    They remind me of the guy who's always talking about how he doesn't miss the girl that dumped him, is much better off, etc. etc. but can't shut up about it. :D

    It doesn't seem too similar to me. Ex-Rockets when they leave get bashed, but usually the team receiving them isn't criticized like Orlando writers seem to enjoy taking jabs at the Rockets and JVG. The TMac issue is understandable. Bashing the Rockets as a team is odd.

    These Orlando guys are just plain sick. It's like having an ex-girlfriend stalk you for the rest of your life.


    EEEESH! Get some therapy. You're creeping me out.

    Orlando fans HAVE to make themselves believe that T-Mac isn't good for them, since they KNOW that they got the fubar end of that trade.

    We, however, wish Steve well, and welcome in a better player. :D

    Geez,
    this is how they treat us after we let Dwight Howard hang out with the Power Dancers: (As shown currently on the Rox Website)

    It truly is sad to hear the crying from Orlando for over a year now.
