Kenny didn't have a clue yesterday. He said that a lot of Utah's shots didn't fall in the two away games, and they are going to shoot at a much higher percentage back home and win. WTF? Do I have to bring up the Rockets' FG% in the first two games once again? If we shoot 45%+ in game three, I will be curious about kenny's take on that.
IMO, the wins are sweeter when everyone is betting against us. hence the cliches.... "prove the haters wrong" or "eat crow" This is just the beginning. If the rox go as far as I think they will, they will see a whole lot more hate coming their way in the next few rounds.
chuck brought up that we took too many 3s. this is probably why we lose to Phoenix so many times. cause all those rafer misses = barbosa fast breaks. I still dont get why we shoot that many 3s, we should go low post or midrange. I thought rafer learned something from Sam when he was Sam's backup.
Interesting that Smith would have no love for the Rockets considering the Rockets made him who he is today. Without that national exposure and 2 championship rings, he would be another retired brother. It's not like he's THAT good on TV or radio. He would probably be doing play by play for the kings or something.
How am I 'siding'? Why can't Rocket fans just enjoy victories? I'm helping to educate the Rocket noobs as much as you are. You provide video, I provide the lyrics. You're the DJ, I'm the rapper. Think about how people are reacting now. Imagine if you place these sensitive NEWBIE FANS back in the CHOKE CITY NBC days?? Remember the lack of respect the Rockets got from Bob Costas?? I'm trying to educate not regulate. Kenny talks ALOT about the Rockets on his show. As the matter of fact, they have HOUSTON CALLERS on his Sirius show. "EASY" (i thought it was Easy from Clutchfans, but it isnt) is a regular caller from Htown and he talks about the Rox all the time. Kenny is fair. He praises Clyde, but on the last Clyde "Dances with the Stars' Kenny said that Clyde didn't put enough effort so that's why he lost. You notice how sensitive these newbs are, look at the thread about the Toyota Center crowd. its like they've never seen a Rockets game in their lives.
Been going on for years. They have nothing ever good to say about the Rockets, ever. Plus, whether Magic or Reggie joins them, same story. I still think there is a great deal of prejudice against Yao, but that is not all of it. Frankly, there must be something more. Maybe Les short changed them or something.
THEY CAN'T LIKE EVERY TEAM!!! the rockets haven't done squat in the playoffs in the last 10 years, this team has a lot to prove. You just don't win 52 games and expect everyone to think your a championship team, you have to prove it.
I've noticed a common thread with most of your posts. People that disagree with tinman = "newbs." An odd form of narcisim. "If you don't agree with me, you are ignorant." Move on please. It is old and boring.
some people happen to be newbs. what do you want me to call them? experts? note this thread. not a single choice for "they dont hate the Rockets". If not talking about the Rockets as much as the other teams is hate, then I guess Kenny and Chuck hate alot of teams.
Remember when the Rockets had these uniforms? CHUCK was the ONLY Rocket to say that they were ugly. and he kept saying it! Dream and Clyde thought they looked "NICE" Thanks Chuck for the honesty.
For real. Let's be honest. Utah stories are more interesting right now. To talk about the Rockets would be boring. Story of the game? Rockets played bad and still won with hussle and with everyone but Boozer playing like poo. So Houston is up 2-0, naturally you ask, what would Utah need to do to get back into this. What is there to say about Houston? C'mon guys, we don't want to be whiny now do we? I left the game last night pumped. Why don't we all feel this way?
Maybe he had a Vegas bet on Boozer getting 17 boards. I'd root for Boozer too if he made money some money! When I was in Vegas for the national championship. I could careless about Chris Leak, but that night he was VY to me! $$$
Did anybody watch 1 & 10 on Cold Pizza this morning? Skip Bayless is at it again, he said that the Rockets are better without Yao Ming, because Yao takes away from T-Mac's game. And that the Rockets 20-12 w/o Yao Ming.
How come no one has mentioned the obvious? Kenny and Chuck hate the way Rudy's departure was handled. They said as much back when Rudy "retired" and we went out and got JVG. Since then, both have exhibited some noticable bias against the Rockets.
personally, the less they talk about us the better off we are. Let our team just concentrate on winning games and not worry about outside influences.
