    So, what do you call somebody that blindly accuses other people of not being real Rockets fans despite never having met them?

    It's a good thing that there are 28 other teams in the League that you can choose from if your loyalty cannot persevere times like these.


    Go Rockets

    playercentral, i think there should be a #11 and 12 to your list:

    11. After the Rockets lose a game, you are quiet towards your family for the rest of the night. When a family member asks what's wrong you reply, "stop talking to me immediately".

    12. After the Rockets lose a game, the next day at work you have a crappy attitude towards your fellow coworkers and come a fraction on an inch from being fired because of it.

    i think both of those make me a diehard rox fan.

    Or the fact that this "true fan" who started the thread bashed Les Alexander with NO FACTS, just a few weeks ago.

    :rolleyes:

    Anyone that cares about the team is a fan.

    There are two types of Rockets Fans.
    (okay 3 really, but bandwagoneers don't really count)

    Fans & Die Hard Fans.

    Umm... yeah... look who's talking...
    Is that the Spurs, or the Rockets? Which team are you talking about?

    I am bashing OTHER Teams' FANS who get on THIS board to ask for Trades and Coaching Staff changes of the ROX.

    The fact that people are pissed and STILL cheer for the Rockets is more respectable than a sunshine pumping "rah rah rah" fan.

    Couldn't find a "STICK" if that's what you meant. I only found my "sticker":

    Have you seen those Reliant Energy commercials about how crazy Rocket fans are? I think that illustrates what a real fan is, sort of.

    A Rockets fan is someone who cares more about the team than they do any of its individual parts. You pull for the Rockets even if they trade rosters with the Nuggets or Cavaliers (before draft day additions :) ).

    A true Rockets fan still has faith that the Rox will make the playoffs.

    You are part of the statistic that supports the claim that our public school system is failing. A grown man/boy like you does not even know the meaning of FANATIC or its concept. First clue - A fan is NOt a yes-man.

    oh boy... according to you, nothing good ever comes out of losing. There is no such thing as a blessing in disguise. If we lose, its always someones fault. In game terms, its always either our offense or defense not playing up to par... its never that the other teams offense/defense was surprisingly good on any given night. Please.... bug, lol. That's my new nickname for ya.

    Don't hate, just love.... BUG. :)
