In more ways than one. I knew going in that a lot of people who would be in attendance didnt care at all about the Rockets....and were only there to see MJ....but I was really disgusted. Of course there were MJ jerseys and t shirts and hats everywhere...but did the crowd really have to burst into a standing ovation whenever Jordan shot the ball? Does his ego need the excessive stroking that they gave it? These same fans were cheering for the Rockets...but not nearly as loud as they were for MJ. It was disheartening to me, so I can only imagine what our guys must feel like. I was really really wishing MJ wouldnt have played. Not just so we would have a better chance of winning...but so all these "sellouts" would be disappointed. I wanted to wallow in their collective grief after having to pay a premium to see one MAN play basketball on a crappy team, and then have him be a no-show. Would any of these people be wearing Wizards gear if it werent for #23? Probably not. In fact I am convinced that they probably dont know any of MJ's teammates names. Are there really any basketball fans left in this town? How about showing love for the HOME TEAM!!!???!!!!
What sucked even more was how the stupid ass crowd cheered for other Wizard players! Everytime Hamiltion or Jahidi, etc made a shot there were loud cheers! Bunch of $%&*@# bandwagoning Wizard fans! And also Jordan shot what 8-23 for 18 pts? Ooooooohhhhhh how bad ass! Yeah so he shot well in the fourth quarter, but the a-hole is a has been!
hey, ROckets03, I didn't hear you cheering for the home team? I've "heard" you're the loudest fan in Compaq.
I was in the nosebleed seats yesterday. 2nd row from the top. Usually I am in my season tickets seats which are the sixth row up in section 225. I admit I barely yelled yesterday. I wasnt having a good day (lost my almost new cell phone at the Galleria ), and I was too depressed watching the game knowing how low the Rockets have sunk. I didnt boo either though! Dont worry though I will be back to my loud ass self next game.
