    Bunch of ungrateful fairweather pieces of ****.
    This team took the #1 seed to 6 games, almost forced a game 7... and all these assholes leave the game early. It wasn't even a ******* blowout. We were down like 10 points.

    Weak, quiet standing ovation as well. These fans should be ashamed.

    It was sickening, as an Aussie Rockets fan i would kill to be there. I sat through it all on my league pass. That made me angry

    I was there and yelled out loud "Come on people." Didn't do any good - no wonder Houston fans have such bad reputations.

    BTW, the bulk of those leaving early were wearing sports coats or the latest leather version of a Members-Only Jacket. I guess everyone had to get over to Kung Fu to get their douche on....

    Most fans that would have stayed (like me and everyone on this forum) can't afford the jacked up prices.

    I think some fans are fed up with the tried hard and played hard type rockets teams. I'm proud of them though. Morey will find a way to make some major moves his offseason.

    If you weren't at the game, you shouldn't really be talking.

    At least they bought a ticket, went, and supported the team.

    kind of like "rockets" fans who hate t-mac when t-mac led us to a 22 game win streak?

    you're right; bunch of ungrateful fairweather pieces of ****. :eek:

    i was at the game n stayed till end. Gave standing ovation n thanked Rockets for the great season.
    But that left are probably not big of a fans to begin with, or are just rooting for the team when its winning.

    Yeah. And those people showed up, refused to put on the t-shirt, probably spent the whole time looking at their phones while seated, and left with 6 minutes left to go in the quarter while it was only a 10 point game.

    Seriously. This made me sick to my stomach. Over 4 minutes left to go and people were heading for the exits in droves. That killed whatever fight we might've had left in us.

    I was at the game it was pretty empty near the end of the game.

    Houston fans in general aren't that great.

    those people or their companies paid for their tickets, so they have the right to leave whenever they wanted just like they have the right to refuse to wear the free t-shirts, cheer for the opposing team etc

    Remember its a business, the team cares about who are paying fans not who are "real fans or not"
