    I don't live in Houston, and never been to a Rockets home game. I always laugh at other arenas cheering for the opponent's team. Never in my life would I have thought it happening here.

    Who else is absolutely disgusted at the crowd cheering for Lakers tonight. I mean seriously I even hear booing when Courtney Lee was shooting FT at the end.

    Remember This was the atmosphere 3 years ago against the Lakers in the playoffs. Did half our fans convert...

    It happens when there's an ample amount of room on that bandwagon of theirs.

    It happens every time you go to a Rockets-Lakers game.

    All the bandwagoners from the 90s just upped their MJ jerseys one digit.

    the lakers are one of the most popular franchises in sports.

    they have one of the biggest sports superstars in the world.

    there are a lot of laker fans not only in houston but all over.

    of course they are going to have a solid fanbase no matter which area they go too.

    from someone who was at the game, their was alot of rockets fans cheering for the rockets.

    Astros Cubs, Astros Braves, Texans Stealers, Rockets Heat, Rockets lakers. It doesn't matter what sport it is, Houston has a ton of transplants and band wagoners. I was at the Heat game last season and Toyota Center was packed with Heat fans.

    West coast transplants and children whose parents were from the West coast that raised them Lakers fans + Bandwagoners + StarF&*%ers + easily available tickets = Lakers douchebaggery at the Rockets game.

    I went to the last denver game, and it was literally the least attended pro-sports event i have ever attended.

    What a bunch of p***y wimp fans. I'm sick of em. We should be the first team to give half price tickets to fans who wear rockets gear. I sure would go to more games. Rockets marketing is horrible.

    The Rockets have horrible marketing because they won't give you half price tickets? Lol, check flashseats and you can go to almost every game for half price.
