    Good Thread. San Antonio and the Rockets have a good history, David vs. Hakeem, you could say NY, but they really dint have anything against the fans. Then there's LA, who i really did hate prior Yao. When Barkley and Shaq went at it, I was at that game, that was amazing. Dallas, I dont have anything against them. The team, that I really USED to hate was Utah. Now I love watching old games of Stockton, not Malone. But now, they really dont got anything against us. Any team Malone is on, I'll hate. But Again, you cant exclude the Spurs, I mean, the players were/are great, nice guys. Like Robinson, Horry, TD, Parker (to an extent), Manu. Those guys are/were such great players, the only thing you can have against them is when they kick your ass in a game. But anytime the Rockets and Spurs were in the playoffs, if the Rockets were eliminated, I went for the Spurs. But whenever we played each other, like in the WCFs, I totally hated the Spurs, and that ugly Alamo Dome. The Jazz really had nothing against Hakeem, Ostertag was nothing special (always fell for the Dream Shake). I feel that the Spurs and Rockets are rivals, Denver and Utah, LAL and Sac-town, NY and NJ or Miami, Dallas, really didnt have anything to brag about, and GS and the Clippers arent amazing teams either.

    What about the ASTROS?
    They are in the same town, they are overhyped and they really suck.
