Hypothetical question (since you love hyperbole): Does paying money entitle a person to any level of disrespect and lack of class?
The Rockets fans at Toyota Center can do whatever they want cause they paid money for their tickets . Don't be pissed at them for not cheering for Tmac, if the TOFs showed up and make all the noise like they do here, you may have heard some cheers. But you guys didn't. Everybody here is happy that the Rockets whipped the Pistons, except for the TOFs. Sorry he got booed by the Rockets fans like the Orlando Magic fans booed his sorry ass too. Here, go find the delorian or whatever time machine you can find, go to Orlando and yell at the Orlando fans for booing his ass too. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T-Ekfbt8aew?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T-Ekfbt8aew?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
what's your definition of lack of class? booing a player on the opposing team? that's called supporting your team.
That wasn't the question. Still - Utah Jazz fans pay money to cheer their disaster of a team and I have a right to disagree with them, don't I? You're working on a weak premise here.

He trully deserved them. This guy is really annoying. He's trying to prove that he's ignoring everything about McGrady as NBA player, but he is third in number of posts in T-Mac as a Pistons thread. Looks kinda funny? Especially if he called a fans, who supported the Rockets before Francis and Cat for McGrady trade and named them TOF. especially if they respected he's undeniable level of talent and appreciated him for this amazing streak.
Funny +/- for players this game, but I think Jeffries' stats for this game are my favorite. Great D, but in nearly 11 minutes of play, he managed...one turnover. I'm interested in seeing how JT plays off of Brad Miller in the next couple of games.
At this point I think I'd rather have Jeffries and his defense on the floor than Chase and his offense.
and you guys are just pissed that the Rockets fans booed Tmac. The funny thing is that you are shocked that they did. ok maybe you thought I used my super powers to control their minds like Professor X, but I didn't, they did with their own free will. The most expensive Rockets ticket I bought was behind the backboard on Pippen's return to Compaq Center, I booed the crap out of him. I can't speak for why all those fans booed Tmac, but I'm NOT SURPRISED. See Orlando fans booing him. Were they classless too?
Stop it. Just stop. You've made soo many good posts tonight and every time I try and rep you I can't. First the Shane thread now this one. You're on fire and I really wish I could rep you right now.
tinman, you're right that paying customers have a right to boo whichever players they want. However, I think that Houston fans are typically better than most NBA fans in respecting their former players. Sure, with T-Mac, there are "special circumstances" with him having actively quit on the team in 2008-09, but he WAS the best Rockets player of the decade. _RTM_, I fully understand your point and agree with your sentiments about treating former players with respect, but you're way out of line with the harsh language towards tinman. If you disagree with his argument, don't be so quick to lead with the F-bombs. It's hard for people to take seriously someone preaching "respect" when he's doing so with F-bombs.
There we go, we don't have to score a million points to win. D wins you games, hope the boys can keep up this level of intensity on the defensive end.
I was working and couldn't catch the game, but looking at the boxscore, C-Bud's stats don't look that bad but people are calling for him to be sent to the D-League etc... did he do a bunch of dumb **** or something? Or just bricking as usual?
Great game, Lowry and Luis were awesome. Sorry to hear the fans boo Tmac......no need for that...let him go. All the players in that trade are done now....only Tmac is still playing ....or was Juwan part of that deal too? DD
