    1) you don’t know that

    2) I never leave early no matter the score, I actually pay money to go to games unlike the fans that like to complain about the low attendance from their computers while sitting at home.

    yup the rockets message will be we won't put our players and coaches in harms way while the league systematically lets opponents foul our players with someonelse getting called, lets opponents bump our coaches/coaching staff without repercussion, and basically letting other teams foul, hurt, **** on the rockets while the whole league lets them get away with it

    hope fans understand that

    if the Rockets want to give me at least 80-90% of the value of my tickets back, give me free parking, and at least half off food and drinks with re-fills then they can pull something like this against GS

    The same posters that don't value the ticket buyer are the same ones that complain about toyota center being empty while they watch the game at home.

    They don't respect the ticket buyer because they don't put their money where their mouth is.

    I complain about TC being empty :D, but I at least go to a decent amount of games

    it’s easy to say that you hope the fans that paid hundreds just to get into the building can understand a move like this while u watch the game at home for free

    if you go to games then you have the right to complain about toyota center attendance IMO. It's the people that haven't spent money on any game in years complaining about toyota center attendance that are ridiculous.

    it just irks me when people think they can spend other people's finances. I agree, It's so easy to say "rest players" when you don't have any skin in the game. I dropped a decent amount to be lower bowl and see steph curry, kevin durant, james harden, and chris paul perform. Unless they are injured then there is no excuse for the nba to sit them this game IMO.

    Harden is just coming off an injury and CP3 might have some lingering soreness. I say put them on minutes restriction, say 12-15 max. How can the league argue with that?

    I'll pay you $50 or 8 beers whichever is higher, if you do that. Shoutout SIL when you do it.

    Yeah, I'm against sitting them cause it's in Houston. But if this was GSW?

    They wouldn't even fly there.

    How old is Mike?

    Old people are frail. Gotta be careful. On that aspect alone, Blake hitting someone double his age he should be b**** slapped. And the fined 250k and suspended at least 5 games.

    Deliberately hitting an old man. If I shoulder checked an old dude at the grocery store, I'd be apprehended. Rightfully so.

    Wouldn’t that be more of a big FU to our own fans, considering the game is in Houston?

    Blake wasn't getting suspended at all.

    Kiki says he brushed up against Mike, that's all.

    IDk, I think they could have made a bigger deal and had a better case for him getting a game at least. They way it played it...we played ourselves.
