Small sample size, but it looks to me that there's a much higher percentage of rational and classy posters in that forum than there is in here...
there is a time and place for everything this is the place for penis waving, and the time is NOW MOTHERFUCKER
Houston fan here. You guys were definitely the better team and congrats on the win. I'm not so sure why the Rockets are so hated around the league all of a sudden (Personally I believe it's better, it means other fans actually think your team is relevant.) but it is what it is. Rocket fans have never really had any issues with you guys. You're not the Jazz or the Mavs and I'm sure Rocket fans said a few things during the series...it's a playoff series, that's to be expected. I'm sure a lot of Rocket fans are salty right now too, it was a tough loss after all and in general Houston Sports ranks somewhere right around Cleveland sports except Houston Sports teams give you hope only to take it away... All of that is besides the point. I wish you guys luck (especially if you play the Mavs) and you'll find that a lot of Houston fans do so too. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=254195 You guys have a bright future and I have a feeling our teams will be meeting up in the playoffs again some time in the future...if the Basketball Gods will keep our stars healthy this time around.
Their board is crazy right now! 90% of the posts are about how they were screwed. The other 10% is bitching about McHale. No respect for what Lillard/Aldridge did in this series.
We really needed this win. As a franchise, as a fan base. Its been so long and we've had to endure so much. We had to get that monkey off our back since that Game 7, 2000 WCF collapse. Most of us haven't been right since then. Thanks for the series.
I really don't get it. They shot more free throws on our floor and that call that gave them the ball back which ultimately got them the lead was completely blown by the refs. I have never in the history of this franchise heard anyone say that our team benefits from superstar calls. Is this what it's like being a Laker fan?
Classy post. I have a feeling your right that we will be meeting in the playoffs in the future, I just hope I dont have a heart attack next time we meet you guys in the post season. Such an intense series. If harden ever starts playing D you guys will win a ring with that group Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Repped!! Up early because I can STILL barely sleep!! And even though I have family in Houston, FUCK those HATERS!!
People, including me, hate your team (yes I hate them) because of the Dwightmare he put the whole league through 2 years in a row. And the rest of those fools (mainly because I'm a ref) are hated because they are FLOPPERS. Even your "tough guy" Beverly is a flopper.
My best friend is from Houston and is a huge fan. I am sure he will punch me out in the morning. But until then .... I have been perusing the boards and I am shocked at the amount of Houston hate. I think a lot of it has to do Dwight Howard and the flopping. I have nothing but respect for your team but if I had to see Harden rush into one of our players again I was going to puke. Don't worry. You have two titles in the not-so-distant past and a decent young team. We needed this win more. I think the future of our franchise may have depended on it in a way. Sorry for any of my colleagues who rubs you guys the wrong way. It is the internet and they are thirsty.
No, I hate their fans because they are easily one of the biggest flopping teams in the league, and yet their fans actually blame their loss on the refs. I've never seen anything like it. A huge part of their game plan is to work the refs, but it's like their fans don't realize what's going on. They're completely oblivious to how Harden games the refs. It's so annoying. They legitimately think that the Blazers won because of superstar calls. They have the best shooting guard and the best center in the league, and we won because of superstar calls? It just pisses me off.
