    Your the type of fan that probably doesn't like standing up and making noise. Die-hard Rockets fan and Spurs-lover doesn't go together.

    That's just wrong. Greg Popovich is a slime ball who kicked out the coach before him so he could take the job. Classy? Hardly. They tanked a season to get Duncan. The have no unique style...they just copied what Houston did a few years back.

    They are an over-rated team that will not be getting their 3rd ring. You can quote me on that.

    I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. What Houston was doing a few years back? They were not in the playoffs a few years back. I assume that you are referring to the mid 90's Rockets. Is it not possible that it's extraordinarily smart to copy that style of play? Use your big man, play great defense, hit the open 3. It's a great freakin game plan. I'm pretty damn sure the Rockets weren't the first to use that game plan. It's not like Hakeem was the first dominant center. He may be the best, he's not the first.

    You can love the Rockets and respect another team. It is possible. I have been a Rockets fan since 1980. We moved to Houston from Philadelphia. I still follow the 76'ers. I live in Austin. I have no choice but to see Spurs games on tv and hear them on the radio. On occassion, I watch one. I went to the Spurs v Magic game last season to root for Stevie, Cat, and Cato. I respect the Spurs. I don't like them. I'm ok with that.

    never said i was a spurs lover but i guess you cant read since i clearly said i dont like the spurs in my previous post...anyways name me one other team in the league that can play with anybodys style and win effectively...they faced slow down teams and won, they played phx at their game and beat them...sounds like you are just a spurs hater because at the moment they have a better team than we do...im a realistic fan i see different sides and give credit when its due...so what if they stole our style from a few years back?????are they winning with it now? yes they are so you can try to refute that if you want. as far as your statement that they wont get their third ring....we'll just wait and see who wins the championship this year.

    I like the Spurs and hope they win especially if they play Miami. I like Detroit too so if they both go I will be happy whoever wins but I would still rather a TX team win unless it is Dallas. I'll also be happy as long as Shaq does not get anymore rings. I think San Antonio is a respectable team with class act athletes who will represent TX well. I do not understand the hatred for SA. I do look forward to Houston beating the Spurs for the WCF next year.

    Dear [​IMG] :

    The hatred for the Spurs?
    1. Spurs fans think Robinson is better than Hakeem.
    2. Because of clock failure or NBA Conspiracy, the Rockets lost the Spurs in the 92-93, costing them Home Court Advantage against the Sonics , thus breaking the chance of the Rockets making the Finals 3 times.
    3. The Spurs are in San Antonio. The city where Mexico whipped us back in the day. Do you think NY Knicks fans root for the NJ Nets? HELL NO. Do you think Laker fans root for the Warriors or Kings? NO. Do you think the Mavs fans root for the Rockets? NO.
    4. In state rivalry dude. You think Longhorn fans root for the Aggies or vice versa? No.

    I HATE THE FLOPPING SPURS!!!!!!

    I was actually glad the Lakers beat their flopping, alamo, river walking, taco cabaning punks last year and few years back! I hate them!

    I hope when Dream showed up at halftime, these IDIOT SPURS FANS know that he's is the BEST CENTER EVER that has ever stepped on that HEB hot dog court.
    And the Alamodome???

    HAKEEM OWNS THAT PLACE!!

    I HATE THE SPURS!!!!

    TD doesn't flop, Ginobili does, which is understandable, coz he's from Argentina where they have the most dramatic floppers in soccer games. :)

    And I think Pistons is a worse flopping team.

    Something Jeff Van Gundy knows nothing about. :rolleyes:

    Pop has proven himself a championship-caliber coach.

    The thing I waited on is the moves the Rockets makes this summer. And one thing that really puzzle me is does CD know how to put a championship team together. The rockets can't go out and get anybody and think you can be the spurs. To me that's been CD mode of thinking based on past decesion making. The spurs are the top team in the western conf. The rockets have to quit half steppin and go out and get the players that are going to make them on the level with the spurs or better. Or else we will be watching them win championship for the next 2 or three yrs.

    Envy is a b****! Jealousy doesn't befit a Rockets fan. If you want to be respected, you have to acknowledge others' success and stop the hatin'

    It is so-called "fans" like you from other cities across the country that are behind the Rockets never getting any respect; not now nor during the Dream era. Don't complain about "others" not giving us respect if you do the same thing. :rolleyes:

    I'm not envious the freaking Spurs! Dude you've been eating at Taco Cabana too much.

    Fans like me preach the Rockets, fans like you call hand checking fouls during pickup games at the park.

    Fans like me know that the meaning of Rockets pride, fans like you know Pilgrim's Pride.

    The Rockets didn't get respect because people in New York wanted the Knicks to win, not because i'm calling out you fake Rocket fans.

    You actually want me to like the Spurs cause they are a good team? Tell 49ers fan to like Cowboys, tell UT fan to like the Sooners. I dont think so.

    You can go and buy some Corona's and fajita platters at Taco Cabana when the Spurs win. I'll just be a Rockets fan.

    Bow down!

    Jeffster,
    the Rockets cap you bought at Academy, doesnt match your Manu Ginobli Jersey.
