    I don't care about the bandwagon fans. They aren't true fans and they jack up the ticket prices.

    Agreed. Every single game excites me. Be it the Kings, Lakers, T-Wolves, etc., I'm always screaming my lungs out.

    Also, I tried to attend the Kings game this past Monday, but all the tickets were sold out. Now, as I watching the game, the place seemed to be not even 3/4 full.

    WTF!?

    If I'm a person on a limited budget and can't afford season tickets, there is no way in hell I'm wasting one of my few opportunities to see a terrible Timberwolves team.

    i usually go to the games vs. the crappy teams.
    1. the tickets are usually much cheaper and easier to get
    2. its more likely of a win which is always more fun than a loss.
    3. its the rockets so i couldnt give a crap who were playing against, just the rockets playing is enough to excite me.

    were you at the game tonight? if not then dont complain. no point in b****ing about it on here anyways, the structure of the arena wasnt made to give rockets a home court advantage. it was made to cater to the corporate sponsors who shell out over 195 dollars a ticket per game. if every die hard could afford that, then maybe wed have a crazy home court every night.

    i sit in the corporate section about 15-20 games a year. best seats in the house in my mind, besides the front row on the floor. we shell out a lot of money for these seats and use them to impress clients etc. if you are gonna complain to someone about the fans, send a letter to les alexander. dont come on here and b**** on a rockets forum where people go to games if they can.

    i was there tonight, and for the laker game, and for boston and for the hornets before that. the hornest game in my opinion was the loudest/most exciting ive ever been too, including post season games.

    i love the rockets as much as you and everyone else on the board, but im sick of people b****ing about the home court crowd.

    I've only had a chance to go to the Bulls game this year and the TC seemed much louder than years past. I think the win streak was only at 11 or 12 at the time so I doubt there were THAT many bandwagon fans attending.

    I like the guy who says player names this year too, when did we get him? (I obviously don't have much time to go to games. :p)

    Rockets PA announcer, John Paul Stevenson, has been with the Rockets since last season.

    Well whenever he came, he's much better than the one we had during Tracy's first season as a rocket. God that guy was horrible. I didn't go to any games last season except for an away game vs LA since I was living there at the time, so wasn't sure when he came over.

    Lakers fans are Houston haters, lemme tell ya.
