    Any of you fellas remember a player by the name of Tom Gugliotta?


    I actually thought he would be the next Larry Bird.

    Silly me.

    The other fans probably see it as a guaranteed win, or the rockets is a team that was included in multi game package deals before the season started. Seeing as they had no star power at the time.

    At every tip-off at Toyota Center the stadium is empty, it is really painful to watch, especially with our team. We really need to support this team like Denver and Golden State's fans

    Lin was signed pretty early in the piece, and before those packages. Lin was always going to have a premium for other teams.

    To me, it's Jeremy Lin. It's because of Jeremy, I am going to the January 12th Rockets vs Sixers in Philadelphia.

    However, I refuse to go to the MSG to watch Rockets playing the Knicks because I do not want to put my money into anything James Dolan after what he did to Jeremy.

    They are exciting to watch. Who wouldn't want to see a team that score 120 points a game.

    Exactly, and once there are enough Asians in a sport the the "community" doesn't really care as much. Like in baseball there are a bunch of Asians now so it's not as special I guess.
