    2nd stupidest **** i've ever heard. It's like giving credit/praise to prisoners for staying in jail.

    The stupidest thing in this thread is this...

    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.


    To say that you would ban everyone that left early is the dumbest thing I ever heard.

    You want to ban the people that actually showed up to the game?

    What would the arena look like if you banned the only people that showed up?

    What is stupid is saying you would ban people for leaving early when this guy didn't even show up. The Rockets made the playoffs for the first time in years and this guy has the nerve to say he would ban people for leaving early and he didn't even go. If were banning those people for leaving early then this guy should be banned from ever saying the word Rockets again.

    If rich stupid douchebags were banned from attending, there'd be less stupid rich douchebags to buy the tickets and more opportunity for fans to show up and make the Toyota Center a real playoff arena.

    What's so hard to think behind that logic?

    Still doesn't justify leaving early.
    Yeah, people that were GIFTED tickets went to the game. No ****ing ****. They also left the game early too, to "beat traffic".

    I'm pretty sure he wasn't saying they should literally ban people.

    :rolleyes:

    I was surprised so many people were in their seats at tip-off. Usually the Rockets play the first quarter with the lower bowel half full. Around the league, the Rockets has an image as an organization that doesn't draw well.... until people start looking at the attendance numbers.

    This is silly..... Every person who attends a Rocket game, regardless of level of interest should feel obligated to stay the entire game?

    Our attendance numbers are pretty bad too compared to most teams. It's kinda sad we have so many fans that would rather sit at home and complain about our attendance, fans leaving early, fans not paying attention etc., who at the same time don't go to the games themselves.

    But our playoff attendance was pretty good this year I thought.

    Because money isn't an issue at all for some of us. We're all just sitting at home rolling in our piles of money and complaining about the Rockets fan attendance. :rolleyes:

    That's fine if people don't have enough money to go but don't complain at the same time.

    I got a last second deal and sat in sec 108 row c. I had people behind me in the bleachers yelling at me for standing since the opening tip. I turned around and informed them they were at a basketball game and asked them to pretend we were in OKC where fans actually care about their team and the playoffs.

    The people directly behind me were cool, 2 youngish couples. They stood for pretty much the whole second half. To my left was an older couple that stayed seated the whole time. To my right was a youngish African American couple that sat the whole time barely talking and then left their shirts behind...

    Stayed til the end. Shook hands with DMorey as he walked down to the court and congratulated him on a great season. Tried to take a pic with Arian Foster but was able to get one with Johnny Football.

    Great season. Love this team. Excited for future with Chandler and James.

    99% of floor spectators are old white people with old money.

    We need to get more young money on the floor.

    OKC is a great fan base and I'm pretty sure no one but old white people exist in that city. They manage to defy all logic and have a population of only old white people.

    I say we ban traffic during Rocket game days. That way people won't leave early.

Whenever my potna and I went to the games, that hitch was pretty empty. Shid even some of the games we went to this season had a **** load of empty seats. Lol this forum is too funny.
