It goes beyond basketball, New Orleanians have been bitter towards Houston from the day companies left new orleans for the town of no culture. New Orleans is a city of defeatist and excuse makers which directly conflicts with a city, like Houston, that strives to get things right.
What are your thought on Baton Rouge?

It's the Louisiana inferiority complex. They need to obsess over a team to which they feel inferior in order to overcome the constant feeling of dread that's part of being a Louisiana sports fan. Part of it is jealousy.
LSU fans obsess over Bama.
Saints fans obsess over the Falcons.
The Pelicans don't have an identity. They have no one to compare themselves to. They should've been moved to Seattle but Stern was on his "no move" tangent and fixed the draft for them, an advantage they will surely squander away with poor roster moves (Gordon, Evans, Holiday, etc.). The New Orleans franchise is best remembered for that one year of success with Chris Paul, who, of course, eventually spurned the team for greener pastures. Removing the pre-2002 history, the team has accomplished nothing.
Pretty much all 12 of the Pelicans fans post here. Desperate for a rival after jumping on the bandwagon in 2008, they chose the Rockets because proximity and the teams were comparably ranked at the time.
Meanwhile, if you go to ClutchFans, you'll find that Rockets fans consider teams such as the Spurs, Lakers, Jazz, and Mavs as rivals because there's actually some history there (read: postseason). The Pelicans are probably the most irrelevant franchise in the NBA; I doubt anyone considered them a rival.
The Rockets fans here who care for the Pelicans one way or another simply do so because 1) they have a connection to Louisiana and 2) insufferable Pelitards desperately grasping for a rival. Within the context of this board, sure there's a rivalry--it's amusing. But not in real life.

My troll/alter alert is going off big time. You also sound very upset about a team you deem irrelevant.

I don't mind some of the rockets fans like PCT/PTM/Swagger but you and booms ilk are another story with your incesstant trolling.

Good question. So why are Saints fans more concerned with the Falcons than vice versa? I don't get it. It's not rational. Nor is the Rockets obsession, or the Bama obsession.

You have to factor in the big rantard population.
I respect Bama's tradition/history at least(even if I can't stand them)

You must not venture over to falconslife. TD isn't the only sign of the coin.

It's going too far when you hope a city loses a team. Your other ramblings aren't even worth discussing to be honest.

bro I say 1 word "lolrockets" and a half dozen people melt down
It's totally sophomoric and lacks any creativity and they melt every time
I do this for the lulz, because the Rockets have the most defensive fanbase I've literally ever seen

Pelicans fans on this board have been obsessed with trolling Rockets' fans for some reason when Rockets fans wouldn't even care about the Pelicans on this board otherwise.
If you browse Clutchfans, they like the Pelicans and AD.
