Heckling Raja Bell and thoughts from the 2nd row (really funny & a good read!)

A true fan.

 

I too was at the Rockets Game, 2nd row... where the Rockets had it in the 2nd half, I was sitting on that side... and OMG, seeing the faces of the Rockets, and the body language, they had no heart, no poise to win, they were like: "Yah, ok, Phoenix... We might win, but no guarantee... Oh Marion??? Here have the rebound, Nash? Hit a three pointer... Phoenix? Just blow us out so we can concentrate on our next game vs. 76ers..."

If anyone saw me, I had the McGrady Jersey on, and I even was on the side that Mr. Hilton was, from Hilton Furniture, and yes, I even got his picture! I was also the one that was beating that drum like crazy!!! I had one guy ask me: "Are you gonna beat that thing all night??? I was like then he was like: "Its ok if you bang it every so often but not all the time... Its because of that guy (with glasses) that the Rockets Lost! If he minded his own business, I woulda beat that drum like no tomorrow, and we woulda won! (I was beating it a lot in the first quarter!!! LOL) That was like the highlight of the night for me... It coulda been great if the Rockets had WON, but there's not much you can do...

 

I would have beat on that drum even more if he told me that, I hate fans like that.

Les, it's a nice arena with nice amenities but you gave the wine and cheese crowd the perfect haven to hang out in. And they like it nice and subdued in their arena.

 

I was at the game but no, i didnt have the seats yall did. Pretty good seats still.

Did yall hear me when i screamed "Fire Van Gundy!!" like 15 times. IT was real quiet when i did, but might not have been loud enough, though it felt like it was. I was screaming the whole game.

 

Yeah,

Screw those fans that want to actually talk with the person they are sitting with about the game.

They would much rather have a drum beat in their ear all game long....

Free throws.....hell that is the time to raise cain !!

My apologies.....

I was at the game tonite... and they lost again. Seems like everytime I go they lose. The last win I went to was against the Bobcats. If it wasnt for my mini plan I think I would just stay home and watch. I mean seriously, my last four games have been charlotte, miami, lakers, and tonite.

So do you mean to tell me that you heard the drum i was banging and (maybe) saw where I was?

 

Now I can see you were drunk.

 

Don't make me bring up my horror stories about other "fans" complaining about my cheering & drum banging...

Honestly - and nothing personal DD - but if you view attending a Rockets game as some corporate function/social talking event then get the f out.

Seriously.



We'll always be in the minor leagues as far as fandom goes if we consider yelling & making noise to be unacceptable at a damn home game...

 

That's what coffee shops are for. Go sip on your latte and indulge yourself in some deep conversation during the game while the rest of us scream our lungs out.

 

Dude, I enjoy the games, I yell and get excited when appropriate, but I get annoyed at idiots who stand the whole game and make noise just to hear themselves make noise.

It is not a rave party and a competition to see who can be the loudest.

It is a basketball game and if I want to discuss the game with the people that I am attending with, I don't want to have to yell in their ear during timeouts for them to hear me.

Comprende?

Hopefully Van spilled some of his dandruff on you.

 

eh, deal with it.. If I have to choose btwn crappy fans who make no noise or the ones you describe above who won't stop cheering, I'll take the latter. I'd love to stand the whole game (aside from timeouts) and make noise the whole game...though sometimes I'll feel bad if I have children really close by or someone directly behind me (but I'm short, so sometimes it's inconsequential).

It's not a rave party, but it is a sporting event where your team needs support. And if half the crowd is soft, that leaves it to us to make up for that half

 

Well that narrows it down

 

More than half the time I take my children to the game too, there are time to yell and get excited, and times to sit down and relax.

It is not rocket science to figure out which, some people just like to draw attention to themselves by being obnoxious, call it whatever you want, but it is still annoying.

Look, enjoy the game all you want, but if someone asks you politely to stop banging a drum all the time, you are just as copable, it is not just YOUR experience, it is everyone around you and common decorum dictates that you respect others.

But whatever, enjoy the game however you like, just don't sit by me.
