Any Superstitious ClutchFans out there for the Playoffs?

Nothing special... I just watch the game with my pet lion and my pet alligator while eating strange foreign foods. Pretty boring, huh?

 

There's a lot of superstition going around, but it's just because we're so touchy about our recent playoff history.

Me and my friends have a myth that we ALWAYS lose games when we watch at a specific friend's house... so far it has held true. We lost both the Mavs game 7 and Jazz game 7 while we were there... I'm sorry guys, that room was responsible for those losses...

 

Superstitions? I feel like every time i watch a Rockets game on ESPN, we're gonna lose. For example, during the Detroit game, we started losing on ESPN, so I switched it to FSN and we started winning. I switched back and forth a few more times and (in my mind), the trend continued.

I gotta have the homers announcing a game.

 

I used to...but i realized...if its for em to win, then they'll win...me doing something won't change it....

 

Back during the 95 run, I had a bunch of Rockets stuff in my bedroom, posters, magazines etc . . . a Rockets altar. I was 14 at the time.

Before each game I'd touch it all and then watch, then we repeated as champions. It was silly, but I had to do it.

If I'm not at the home playoff games, I'll typically just watch while texting everyone throughout the game.

 

I haven't changed my underwear since Saturday night.


Now... whats this thread about?

 

lately i've been switching channels whenever possible. if i'm on espn and we start to trailing, i'd immediately change it to fsn/my20, even if jvg is commentating; and vice versa. if one channel "works", i'd stick to it.

that's about it for me. so far it's been working, though.

but since we're on nbatv tomorrow and i don't have that, i'd lose my options.

maybe i should go the tc...

 

oh, and i have to watch the game all alone by myself. it seems whenever i watch with my wife or my friends, we always lose.

 

I don't shave while the Rockets are still in the playoffs. This is a must, but I may look like Osama Bin Laden if the Rockets make it to the finals.

I wear my Hakeem Jersey (non-replica ) during each game. It's worked so far..might as well continue.

 

I sprinkle the blood of a dead virgin over the top of my tv prior to the game. Why do you ask?

 

well i just recently bought this artest jersey and i wore it to the last home game of the season and we beat new orleans by 20...i wear the jersey again on saturday and we beat portland by 27...so 2-0 so far...i plan to wear it when i wat ch game 2

 

I used to do that but it stopped working so I had to change my strategy.

 

just watch the entire game from the same office chair

 

I haven't had a haircut since T-Mac called it off for the season. The team has been playing great since then. I used to have a crew cut thing going on. I'm not going to get a haircut (despite the wife's complaints) until the Rockets play a terrible game and have an ugly loss.

 

We should all get the Von Wafer haircut if the Rockets make it out of the first round.

 

You'd better. Otherwise, "it's on you."

 

Since I believe the team I am rooting for will always lose when I watch them play, I've decided to skip the whole seires to make Rocket win!!!!

What a huge sacrifice by me!
