    I couldn't believe it but the guys at 950 AM are saying how Rockets fans are now becoming fairweather fans.

    This isn't right people.

    AND only a week left for voting; this does not bode well.

    Are now becoming fair weather fans? LOL. Mother's Day, 1994. 2nd Round playoff game against Phoenix. 2,000 empty seats. The city of Houston is the worst sports town in America! It's nothing new!

    Go Titans!

    A big part of that attendance is Halloween.

    It might be good for the arena that people aren't there considering how we are playing right now. [​IMG]

    Those were 4,000 people disguised as empty seats.

    Dang. And still it was that loud? I think overall our crowd was reacting much more to the game tonight and it's the first time in what seems like years that I've heard them get loud and break out in a "Defense" chant.

    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Our sellout streak ended last year on opening night.

    I will say this. The Laker game is already sold out. [​IMG]

    No the worst basketball fans are in Charlotte. Last year in the playoffs they had 6 thousand empty seats. And the people of Charlotte don't want to keep the Hornets if it means paying for a new stadium.
