because most SA natives have relatives in Houston!!
I thought this was interesting; Rockets fans were giving the Spurs props, some saying the Spurs were their second favorite team, others saying at least they don't whine like the Mavs.
They do seem to have bought into the whole "Bowen is dirty" thing, which I don't believe of course, but aside from that they seem pretty impressed with the Spurs.

"The "hate" is envy in disguise. Usually when people hate on someone there's got to be a real reason (acting like an arrogant sob, raping someone etc), but when the reasons are flopping or something silly like that then that's usually hate. Spurs have been so successful that fans of other teams hate on them to mask their jealousy." -roslolian

Houston has always been cool. I really feel sorry for them and their injuries. But , we gave them Scola.
Rockets fans are so different from Mavericks fans. Mavericks fans come across as arrogant, naive, and jealous. Houston fans do have there moments but generally have respect for other talkers and teams.
Eh its just a matter of time before we grow hatred towards each other, I actually used to be cool with the Mavs when they used to suck and were barely making a move up...once they became respectable, and after a couple of playoff serieses (Juwan Howard ing up Derek Anderson's shoulder) I started hating them. Right now I actually wish the Rockets well but Im sure if we were to meet with them in the playoffs a couple of times I'd start disliking them.
Also Im sure that during the early-mid 90s there were was hatred between the two teams, especially when Hakeem and D-Rob were battling for MVP...the Admiral got owned pretty bad by the Dream in the 95' playoffs.
Don't forget about Jason "Ball Puncher" Terry.
I think San Antonio is certainly despised, to a point, due to its success. Being small market and labeled boring doesn't help, but for the most part, I think other fans are just sick of seeing us around.
It's the same reason people are quick to hate on the Celtics and Lakers, and people hated the Bulls when they were making their run. Unless you were a fan of one of these teams, they were just that damn team kicking your club out of the playoffs year after year.
I am amused by the bandwagon fan hate. It means that we're in the upper echelon of teams. The Spurs are one of those teams fans love to hate...but anybody who knows basketball appreciates their accomplishments, just like the other dynasties.
i have noticed there is mutual respect from both sides....for the playoffs i was going for houston after the spurs got knocked out. Im all about TEXAS, but i wonder how the mavs just wondered off the path. I guess the mavs are like that annoying relative who always snitches and annoys the out of you.
Obviously none of you guys live in Houston. Houston fans are pathetic, and are so in fair weather - no one gives a about the Astros unless they're over .500, same goes for the Rockets. Once they got out of the 1st round - it was like they won the in Finals!
I'm married to a Mavs fan and she's far more sincere, and nice about crap. She also, at the least, knows something about her team. Most of the people here don't know how Scola was aquired, or where he's even from. Funny enough, most people don't realize that Yao is not Yao Ming's first name ...
^If I was you I wouldve gotten a divorce already.
My sister lives in Houston, but she is a Spurs Fan..
I'm from SA, but live in Houston and I totally agree with DougP. Rockets fans are fairweather fans. Only 1 out of 15 Rockets fans are true fans. The only thing they can say is, did the Spurs win back to back? I would rather win 4 Recent championships than 2 back to back.
When they made it to the 2nd round, they're goal was accomplished...Spurs Fans are not satisifed unless we win the NBA Championship! Spurs Fans have true Heart!
I do feel sorry that they have so many injuries. And Spurs and Rockets fans have one thing in common. We hate both Dallas Mavericks and the Lakers!
Well, if you've never spent much time in Texas, that's pretty true of the cities, too. Dallas is filled with self-en led, flashy assholes. Houston minds its own business far more and is more respectful and less pretentious.
The (new) majority of Rockets fans think Yao is the alpha and omega, can't pronounce the sound that the letter "L" makes, and don't know who "The Dream" is.
That was some funny Jag. First thing that came into my head was "Deck the Halls" being sung by chinese in the christmas classic "A Christmas Story"
Yep that is the true.Houston fans have relatives in both city..because most SA natives have relatives in Houston!!
I love houston and san antonio,texas.I love the rockets and the spurs..
Hi to my relatives in alamo city.
2010 will be san antonio years
gotta show love for our texas brothers
i actually still remember that one rockets-spurs series (in 94 i think) where fans of both team traveled to the other city to watch the games. so in any given game the crowd was divided cheering/booing for both teams regardless of what city they played in
i remember marv albert saying, "there are those rockets fans traveling to san antonio to cheer their team on"
in my personal history of watching NBA basketball (since 93) never seen anything like it.
ehhh, I'll tak their respect now without much hate, they are in a terrible spot right now and I feel for them. Th fact remains though that once they become a contender again against the Spurs you know we (Spurs and rocket fans) will go back to the haters game.
That's soooo true. Most of my friends who I talk to don't even know who Hakeem is.
Some true Rockets Fans up in Houston.
But when you do find those Rocket fans who actually know that we won two championships, you find that the ones that actually know stuff are pretty cool.
Double post, but as for the Spurs, I love them! They are just like us. We don't become y and we overachieve. Not like the Lakers this year who had a lot of talent but just went through the playoffs like it was nothing.
rocket fans are cool
went to both spurs games in houston this year
rocket fans never said anything to me when my friends and i would taunt everytime the spurs would score or do a great play
the first game we had some hecklers because we got our ass kicked
the second game was great with spurs pride all over the arena
just one rocket fan told me too sit down and thos red rowdie dudes were telling me and my friends stuff when we would distract the rockets when they were at the free throw line ha
i don't know about them being nice to spurs fans now

it's not a big surprise there are some rockets fans perching at the elite level, in fact such kind of fans occupied the majority of Rockets fan-base before the Rockets team regretfully drafted a 7'6 piece of **** in 02, since when their fans base has been being contaminated by millions of idiotic band-wagon fans till the very current days. If only the growth of such fans in Rockets fan-base will slow down as long as their 7'6 piece of **** is already done for his career.
It's easier to be sold on the spurs if you are in SA. That's the only game in town (it helps that they win too). In Houston, you can turn you're attention, money to other teams like the Astros, Texans, UH, Rice...
I dated a girl who
1. Hated Baseball
2. Was a Mavs Fan
3. Went to USC
Talk about 3 strikes, but she gave GREAT head hahaha so I kept her around a bit.
