    Mavs and Spurs have always been the Rocket's rivals...

    I actually don't mind the Spurs. At least they don't really have any punks on their team. LA and Dallas on the other hand do, and are now our biggest rivals.

    Always been the Mavs... I think while we hate them we sometimes have a little bit of respect for them.... only a tiny bit but more than the zero respect we have for the Jazz. At least the Mavs sometimes just beat us fairly, which makes it more of a genuine rivalry. You just want to beat the Jazz because they are disgusting white cheats.

    Mavs has been our biggest rival all these years, and our hate towards them never fades away the past 3 seasons.

    I don't hate San Antonio at all - more of a worthy opponent feel that is similar to my feelings towards Portland.

    As for rivals, it is always Utah. We have always been at war with Utah.

    Dallas is a close second, and we hate the Lakers because they're the stinking Yankees of basketball, not really due to any specific rivalry.

    mavs are an old rival.
    lakers are the new rival.
    jazz might be outdated rival, but we'll see.

    nugs might be newest rival yet.

    How come all our rivals have kicked our ass in the postseason?

    I want the Blazers to be our rivals.

    Nah, Lakers are probably the oldest rival..
    Rockets-Lakers Rivalry

    Next would be the Jazz obviously.

    Now, it could very well be the mavericks


    The Spurs probably hate us more than we hate them, same for portland.
