    i personally didnt like the 3 point gesture. i dont like seeing other teams players doing similar stuff and i dont like seeing rockets do them. to me it seems a bit too cocky, a little bit cheesy and kind of unprofessional. i was actually kind of suprised that JVG was allowing them to do that. didnt he make dikembe cut out the finger wagging after every block?

    judging from the mavericks series, where it really got out of hand, you could say it was also bad luck/karma.

    That symbol from the playoffs looked like the "jacking off" gesture. I didn't care for it. And I agree with jo mama thoughts about it. If they use it it should be very sparingly. They went overboard.

    I hated the finger wag before Deke was a Rocket. I love it now though. :D

    At first the three-fingered thing was funny, but after we lost the first round last year, I realized it contributed to the Mav's fire, which is a bad thing; never give the enemy motivation.

    There's one gesture I'm EXTREMELY thankful none of the Rockets ever picked up...that stupid "knucklehead" thing that Quentin Richardson/Darius Miles does after EVERY SINGLE shot they make.

    If any Rockets player ever starts to do that, I think we should just ship him off to Atlanta. :p

    I thought the same thing last year, I accidentally voted for the three finger deal in the poll, but as soon as I saw it, I knew it had the potential to rain down death karma upon is, which it pretty much has since.

    The body bump. He even did it to Rybo, that was hilarious. No pic of him doing that though last season...
