I'm a 2. I have a hierarchy of teams I like(and am usually more vocal about the teams on the negative end of my spectrum than the positive ones) The Rockets always place in the top 3 or 4 for me, but I aint blind to their problems.
I'm probably about a 8 no matter what not just the Rockets any Houston team i think they're better than they really are.
I think that it is wrong to say that because a person is objective and criticizes the team that he is necessarily a bandwagoner. A bandwagoner is someone who becomes a fan when a team is winning and stops being a fan when the team is losing. I love the Rockets. I have been a fan since before many of you were born. But I am an extremely critical fan. There are a lot of things that I don't like about today's game. I dislike Cuttino as a player. I dislike Rudy T. as a coach. I don't like the way that Hakeem left the Rockets. But none of this makes me a bandwagoner. The only team that I'm rooting for (or have ever rooted for) is the Rockets. I never like to see the Rockets lose a game (even if I think it is in their best interest to lose). So you put me down as a 1. Maybe it's an age thing. I was probably a 10 when I was in high school.
I agree with tod the definition of a bandwagoner. I hope there aren't many of them on this board. Almost everyone seems to assume that being critical to your team means being objective. It is quite obvious that you can be blindly critical to the ones you love. Just ask some parents.
