    why are the rockets always the background photo?

    everywhere I look, sportingnews, nba, espn... whenever someone wants to focus on a particular player, that player is always highlighted against the rockets.

    is it the white pinstripe jerseys that make a good backdrop? i rarely see players highlighted against rockets in the road jerseys.

    hmmm...

    No other team looks good enough to be in the background. We should consider this as an honor and a priviledge!

    That might be the best summation of the Rocks' season to date. We are just good enough to legitimize someone else's highlight but still bad enough to be dunked on regularly.

    Maybe it's cause opposition players tend to have career games against us.

    how can you sell the NBA without the Rockets in the picture?

    Maybe becasue we play pi$$ poor defense (it has been better last couple of games though). When you are being defended by Walt, Mobley, Stevie or Mo many hi-lites are possible!

    I think its just regional photos by sporting news. If you bought a mag in LA mags are gonna show pictures of lakers same if you were in boston , its all about regional advertising
