1st im a sports fan, then a basketball fan, 3rd a NBA fan, finally came i to be a ROX fan(that is the most important thing i would like to declare at any moment). I'm a little astonished to see some threads/post like "trade T-mac", "JVG sucks", "refs sucks" again, i mean AGAIN. A fan in need is a fan indeed, don't lower yourself as a CLUTCH fan by calling any of ROX players "stupid/sucks" or sth like "trade him" especially after a loss, it takes a whole team to win/lose a game, KB's 80+ story has happened only once and also there was only one MJ or u may say Wilt Chamberlain. I would be happy but not in an ecstasy of delight after a win. I would NOT blame any player even call anyone stupid bcoz that could NOT make a loss change into a win. I can argue, i will encourage them, and hold a strong feeling that we will win the next game. "2-2" dose not place ROX in sth of a dilemma yet, we will win the next 2 games, i would rather say that instead of blaming any players though i dont feel OK now after the 2nd loss. Whatever any of others may say, I am always looking forward to the "next" ROX game, no matter what they played well/bad in the previous game, it's gone. PS i don't like to compare T-mac with Yao anytime, they r different players at different places from different countries with different contributions even owned by different fans, forget about other topics. I would feel a little nervous by touching those kinds of topics as a ROX fan. I stand up from where i fell down, without complaining, what i carry in may bag is strong willpower and intelligence. Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
Thanks for your post that is well said in describing a true die hard Rox fan. I've been a Roxeversince fan since i came to the state and as soon as i learned how to play basketball; then i learned to love this sport and eventually became a Rox fan for as long as i remembered Thru many ups and down I'm still stick to be Rox, losing one or two games wont change my love expecting da Rox to win it all, if they fell,that wont change me to become another team's fan even through i'm no longer living in H town. I loved the many players that had become Rox player,even now they are w other teams basketball is a team sport like so many other sport expecting one super star to win it all or criticizing that same super star player as a reason for the team losing is absurdly unreasonable... There is still game 5 coming on Monday There 's still a reason for fan to hope There is still a team name Rox that could win a H town And there are many fans like us to support our B-loved team.
