    If you're a Rockets fan and don't find watching the games fun to watch, I question whether you're truly a Rockets fan.

    The only thing not fun about watching rockets games is our horrible defense. For harden to hold the ball so much he sure does get a lot of assists

    This... And no matter how bad it is it's better than watching a JVG ran team. Talk about hard to watch...

    Rockets play the best basketball in the entire NBA tbh. Well, maybe Spurs are on par with them at times, but generally Rockets are the most exciting team on offense. On defense they are above average. I'd say they're title contenders, it's just a bummer that we got unlucky (Lillard 3).

    I hate fouls and free throws, therefore I am upset/bored during a lot of Rockets games.

    But when everyone isn't standing around watching the 100th free-throw of the game, I'm enjoying it.

    That is interesting. Personally, I like it when we are drawing fouls. It forces the other team to bench players they otherwise wouldn't and change their defensive scheme. This is a good thing. So I like our players drawing fouls because it can lead to wins, and I like wins.

    We don't really have a point guard thats why Harden has the ball most of the time. If we are blowing out a team and our bench is in for the last 5 mins i would still watch the game.

    Not to mention we have the best C in this millenium (Howard), #3 player in the league (Harden), one of the top coaches in the league (McHale), best young PF prospects (TJ, DMo), best PG prospect (Johnson).

    the rockets games r fun comparing to yao tmac era, i remember rockets vs spurs in 2005 would result something like 70 - 72 and that's quite boring

    the problem with the current rockets is predictability, with no mid range games abt 1/3 of the game is taken away. harden and howard both lack offensive variability , they could be effective but not that entertaining, hardens sig move has drawn much criticism among fans and imo its valid

    LOL, yeah. Those JVG low scoring games were so not fun to watch, even with Yao and T-Mac.

    People make this mistake a lot nowadays since Jeremy was traded. To clarify: All LOFs are idiots, but not all idiots are LOFs.

    The only thing I could see as not fun to watch is when Harden dribbles the air out of the ball until there's 5 seconds on the shot clock, then chucks a three or flops. It makes me want to rip the hair out of my f***ing head.

    Not on my end.

    I thoroughly enjoy watching my team win.

    But I also love watching a high octane super fast paced offense, like the Rockets'. Because of the offense, I even enjoyed watching a handful of our losses last year.

    I'm not buying what you're selling.

    If I can enjoy myself watching Astros games, you can bet I absolutely love to watch the Rockets every time I get to see them.

    Plus, I don't know what you're seeing, but the Rockets are just genuinely fun to watch play. When Harden's on, it's a pleasure to see him ball and almost nothing is more exciting than when Howard starts to take over games (like against Portland in the playoffs.)

    I honestly couldn't care less about how aesthetically pleasing the games are. If the Rockets are winning games, I'm happy. In fact, I actually enjoy how annoyed the other teams and their fans get when Harden gets his foul calls.
