Actually, it is beautiful in New Orleans, right now. I have a tip for ya. The Columns Hotel along the trolly on St Charles is where heyschweetie and I spent our honeymoon. Look for the 8' diameter white columns. If you can't stay there, at least take the trolly there on Sunday for a Bloody Mary on the beautiful (huge) porch. Win or Lose, I'm sure you'll be needing a quiet spot with a bar on Sunday, as the bask in the fair weather forgetting about "horrible basketball." http://www.thecolumns.com/ <img src="http://www.thecolumns.com/images/columnshotel_image1-1.jpg"> ps: not to make you superstitious or anything, but it is not good basetball karma to jump ship on a team during March Madness, mentioning baseball and horrible basketball and such. Come on,,,the basketball gods are watching, repeat after me: GO ROCKETS GO HORNS SCREW BASEBALL now run around in circles alternating between Wolfpack ears and Longhorns.
I don't know where you're getting this fair weather stuff. I still watched last night (over the Astros) and will still watch Friday night (over the Astros), and have already told my party that I will be watching them Sunday no matter what we're doing. Just because you think a team's playing crappy basketball at the most important time of the season doesn't make you a fair weather fan. Right now, you'd be hard pressed to find any fan who didn't think the Rockets were playing like a joke of a team right now. I don't even know what you mean by "Wolfpack" ears.
It just hurts to watch bad basketball. We have Toni 'no defense' freakin Kukoc on Yao Ming and Mr. Moron can't get him the ball. Its not like when the Celtics were triple teaming him. I swear that is why I miss Robert Horry more than anything. Even more than his clutch shooting and his weak-side shotblocking. Its his ability to lob it inside!!! CAN NO ONE DO IT ON THIS TEAM!?!?!? I think Glen Rice is the only one who can throw a decent pass inside early in the shot clock to Yao or Mo!
Comments like "start watching ... the Astros" sounds fair-weather-ish to me. nevermind. I don't mean it. You're a big fan. i was just giving you the business. I had my fun. But I still think the basketball gods are frowning on you, and you should run around with wolf ears and longhorns to appease them. Any real Rockets fan want to answer this question with some ascii art.
