Because in the last 30 years they have the fewest amount of losing seasons of any FRANCHISE in the big 3 sports? Yea maybe that has something to do with it.




because of a bit of trivia less than 1% of the sports-watching population is aware of? I don't think so.

You don't have to know the answer to the question to know that Houston is almost always a winning team. Like maybe once every ten years for the last 3+ decades they'll have a losing season.

You do realize the largest demographic of NBA fans are people in their mid-20's to 30's right?

A lot of people holding grudges about those Rockets championships won when they were toddlers?

No kidding. As much as Boom wants to believe it, the Rockets are not one of those teams that everyone loves to hate because of their winning ways, ie Lakers, Yankees, Patriots.

Well the winning combined with Dwight Howard draws a lot of hate. Also the conspiracy theorist that think the refs cheat for HOU bc harden is as good at drawing foula as anyone we've seen in the NBA.

Janis Timma for Matt Barnes? How is this deal possibly getting hate? A guy who will never play in the league for a solid 8th man in the rotation.

The Grizz could have traded Timma for a fresh pack of towels and it would have been a deal

It's an opportunity to crap on Barnes and on Memphis waning hopes of being a contender in the west. Sounds like a great topic to post about.

We got the starting SF from a WC playoff team for the rights to the 60th pick in a crap draft that helps fill some needs in the rotation.

This doesn't diminish their title hopes though. They did nothing but add to their roster and/or add a trade chip for the rights to a player no one wants. It is nothing but a net positive for the Grizz.

You're prob too young to remember but HOU didn't get the name clutch city by having one of the winning teams players say they were the toughest opponent they faced even though they got drummed the last 3 games. moral victories are for Memphis. HOU wins titles in this league.

The only person using moral victories are you and the other rockets fans' bronze medals. Only Houston fans complain about their GM losing a meaningless award or their homeless looking player not winning MVP when he plays defense worse than a toddler.

Don't kid yourself i never claimed any runner up medal. Oh by the way for the fella saying you team wasn't fading. You 20-1 to win the west. So is Dallas. The freaking PELS are 15-1. If that ain't a sign that your team is heAding the wrong direction what is?
