    jazz home crowd down by almost 40 was better.

    I ****ing hate the TC crowd. Give them some energy, the team feeds off of it. Cheer. Get up. Do something.

    I really wonder what it is, Houston crowd are always so damn quiet till something happens. Last time I remember a CRAZY playoff crowd was game 7 in Houston against LA Clippers. That crowd was shaking downtown Houston.

    There are too many distractions at Toyota Center. Those 1 pro team cities are always into their teams just like OKC, Portland and Mormons.

    A lot of them just take the listing down and either give the tickets to someone they know or just go themselves

    Because with the improbable 3-1 comeback, the city genuinely developed a connection with that team.

    Connections breed passion breed loud fans.

    Whe you consider that 70% of the crowd comprised of Women and children I don’t think that insentive would work...

    The rockets need to trick the crowd by saying the game actually starts at 530 so people will actually be in their seats by 7 and hopefully a little liquored up. $**@ I wish I had more money this time of year

    Nick Wright mocked our crowd...pathetic fans and policy by Leslie, he didn’t care! Home court advantage against the Warriors would be huge for every team but the Rockets. They could be the difference maker and i’m serious. The only reason it’s an advantage because it’s NOT the hostile Warriors crowd.

    Maybe fans are just racist? Baseball is mainly a white and Hispanic sport, but for some reason Astros had no problem with fan attendance during the playoffs, and that was after hurricane Harvey.

    Eventhough, football is 70% black, the quarterback position is mostly white.

    The main problem the Rockets Crowd, is Expensive Ticket Prices and AGE Group. The Utah Jazz Floor seats were excited Young College, High School guys. It felt like a College Game. Testosterone at its highest. Loud and Obnoxious. The Rockets Floor Seats holders 60 plus year retired people. So low energy. Rusty Hardin Lawyer. Owners, the whole family, Hakeem, Elvin. Astros Owner and players. I mean if the Rockets want to have a louder crowd. It has to be the floor seats for a younger College kids that can afford these tickets. The Lower Bowl has to be a Target for a Younger Guys Crowd. Why are season ticket holders Grandparents? Sitting at the broadcast booth it's just weird.
