    unfortunately I was on the that side , and def 90% were bandwagon fans except a couple of diehards , that booing at the end confused me too but I doubt they were Rockets fans

    There are people from LA who live here. Or even some lifelong Laker fans who live here.

    While "bandwagoner" does apply to some, it does not to all.

    I've see alot more California plates these past few years. With their economy and housing crash we've had an influx of Califonians so since we're not selling out the TC they take the seats.

    yea, because in basketball, this town doesn't care unless you are winning. you would never see laker cheers and kobe chants like that in Boston or NY.

    embarrassed for my city

    there are a lot of cali people here because no one can afford to live in LA besides the players and the high profile fans.

    They were everywhere. I'm sure some are diehards, but most looked like Kobe only fans.

    For a person at the game, it felt like a road game to begin the with.
    As time went on though, rocket fans finally came out from the woodsheds and decided to put some noise in their cheers.

    It was befuddling to hear that "kobe" chant too but when our team is in the state it's in right now then of course it would be like this. Happy to see our team finish on top to show those LA fans some "southern hospitality" ;)

    this is a turrible answer.

    it's just a popular franchise with douchebag fans.

    they are Texans, they are Houstonians.

    don't drag the economy into this. not everyone in california is "high profile"

    and no one in California leaves a high profile lifestyle for Houston Texas. they would go to Austin.

    flame on.
