    Why is it that we, the fans, start threads like Brooks or Lowry? and people get divided into "Player X only fans" and "Player Y only fans" and start fighting with each other - regardless of whether things go well or not.

    I am not a frequent enough guest on other teams' message boards, but I am wondering - is it the same on other boards? It seems to have gotten worse on here in recent years.

    Aren't we all Rockets fans and should consider ourselves fortunate when we have two good players at the same position who are both worthy of minutes?

    I mean, I get talking about who should be getting more minutes, and pondering whether one could turn two good players into a superstar somehow by making a trade, but too often it seems like the discussion gets so heated that the Rockets player who is not on the side you are arguing is Karl Malone or something :).

    Because people have different opinions on who makes the team better, duh.

    Because some of us tend to overrate player A or B and regurgitates it all over the boards maybe? :confused:

    I think its all in good fun - that's the way i look at it.

    Everyone's passionate about our team and we hate that we're struggling and continue to be in the shadows of the other Texas teams. Everyone has different ideas and views on how to improve the team and this is where get to express our feelings.

    I'm just frustrated that with SO MUCH potential over the years, ONLY ONE THING (not coaches, not player(s) or lack thereof) has held us back.. and that's injuries.

    DAMN YOU INJURIES! F*** YOU! :mad:

    any person on this thread that used logic to back up why they like to talk trades or pick sides is useless.

    any person that agrees with the OP on this topic knows that the Rockets we have are actually good and are going to make noise this year...and tend not to waste their time with useless trade talks are just plain better fans and have a better perspective on the true strength of our Rockets. Thanks for the thread.

    that is all.

    Actually that is going to be either Lee or Smith. Maybe Taylor.

    No way, Yao's too tall, the other two should be the one doing the sucking
