Would you be okay with our home fans booing in game 5 if we're down 30?

    Say we're just getting dominated again and down 20-30 near the end of the 3rd.

    1.) would you be okay with home fans booing the team?
    2.) would you boo the team if you were there?


    Yes and Yes

    why. if we lose by 30 again it clearly means they are just the better team and there's nothing they can do whasoever

    are they boo'ing Morey for assembling a team lacking enough talent to be in the same class as the clippers

    The fans will leave before any real booing starts.

    I'd be extremely happy with them booing before the game even started. Pitiful effort so far is an understatement & the team deserves to know that.

    the team made progress, down two starters. I don't think it fair to boo yet. we stepped forward.

    you can barely get TC to clap on a dunk and you want them to boo?

    Losing by 20-30 is often a sign of not showing up, showing no heart, desire or fight.
    Even an outmatched team who plays with heart, can be competitive.

    For me, I'd boo for this reason alone.

    I wouldn't boo because McHale would have to take out Harden and Howard for the last time And I think they deserve a standing ovation for what they did this year. 2nd place in the West. Exciting teams but a disappointing playoffs.

    That's tough... I get what you're saying. But damn, to lose multiple games by 25-30+ points is a sign of no heart, discipline or fight. As a fan paying to see our players bust their ass, I'd feel no guilt in booing the continued lack of effort in another blowout loss.

    No team in the NBA is better than another team by 30 points 3 games in a roll. They are professional teams, let alone a #2 seed team.

    If they lose by that much 4 games out of 5, that tell you a lot about the character of this team.

    I'd rather see them just get up and walk out silently leaving nobody there to watch the last 5 minutes.

    We don't kick someone when they're already down.

    Remember we knew we were not contenders yet. We over-achieved in the regular season. We take the good times along with the bad.

    We can still be proud of this season up to this 2nd round nightmare.

    I just hope someone on the team can take ownership and apologize to the fans for their showing. Show that you care about the fans.

    Why when we're down? I hope people do it at the start of the game.

    It's not the fact they're a better team.

    This Houston Rockets team has quit in 75% of the games this series.

    The fans deserve a hell of a lot better than that.

    Yes, if the effort is as piss poor as it's been all series.

    I want the fans to lift Morey's ****** off the floor if possible and pass him around like in a rock concert all the way next to Mchale.

    Pretty sure game 5 will look like a regular season game vs the 76ers. Expecting a lot of empty seats especially in the lower bowl.

    This is the first time I've felt that the emptier the TC is, the better. Please fans, sell your tickets or just burn them or rip them up and post it @houstonrockets twitter. Fans need to make a statement and I'm dead serious. This team does not deserve any more support. Losing is one thing, quiting one game is a second, full on quiting in a critical game 4 is just inexcusable. If fans do show up, boo them before the game, during the game and after the game. Crazy to think a group that has McHale, Dwight, Harden, Terry & Brewer is a quiting team. Guess this sheds a new light on how I feel about T-mac, because he never quit like this in a play-off series.
