So when will they start cracking down on people calling for McHale to be fired?
I don't know what these morons are trying to do but you done traded away the only thing connecting you to China in Jeremy Lin. Now the franchise is going to have a Chinese jersey??

Rockets will wear Chinese jersey this season, plan to unveil new alternates in 2015-16

When will the Houston Rockets change their jersey or add new ones?
That’s a question that we get asked often here, so after some digging, here’s the latest news we can pass on about what’s coming on the Rockets jersey front.
Rockets Will Wear Chinese Jersey This Season
It is not true that the Rockets will get a brand new official alternate jersey this season, but they will unveil a new jersey just the same. The Rockets will wear a Chinese jersey this season to celebrate Lunar New Year, a source confirmed.
The team will wear the jersey for three straight home games, starting with the February 21st contest against Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors.
The jersey is sleeved with four Mandarin characters on the front replacing the word “Rockets”. I’m told it looks very sharp.
Rockets Getting New Alternates in 2015-16
Though the Rockets will not release a new alternate this season, the team will unveil two new alternates for 2015-16, a source confirmed to ClutchFans, and might add a third alternate jersey for the 2016-17 campaign.
Not too much is known about the jerseys, but here’s what we can tell you.
The first alternate jersey, which is finalized, will not use the throwback color scheme (yellows) and is “radically different” than the current alternates, we’re told. It will use the current
Rockets scheme, but will not be a black jersey (… that we’ve been wanting now for a decade). So that leaves red and gray as your two strong possibilities, with white also possible. The jersey will be sleeved.
The second alternate jersey, which is in the concepts stage, will be a “Clutch City” jersey, a source confirmed. You will likely see the words “CLUTCH CITY” replacing “ROCKETS” on the front of the jersey, a concept similar to the Clutch City shirts the Rockets handed out to fans for Game 5 of the playoffs last season.
Colors are not finalized, but you can bet that the jersey will use the throwback colors like the current alternates.
Primary Uniforms Will Change… Slightly
There are also two small changes coming to the Rockets primary jerseys (home, road) starting next season (2015-16).
For starters, the cut of the jersey on the shoulders will be more narrow starting that year. This will be more like an older jersey cut where there is less fabric on the shoulder.
This is best illustrated by showing the previous road jersey next to the current alternate jersey, which uses the more narrow cut on the shoulder. You can see a noticeable difference.
Secondly, the Rockets have slightly altered the font used throughout the jersey, on the word “Rockets”, the player’s name and the numbers. I’m told you can see the change but it’s “subtle.”

mad the Lockets traded away his love boy Jeremy Rin
Jeremy needed to be traded away. He was wasted in McHale's ridiculous offense. No what this chicken organization is doing is pulling out all the stops to try to grab what they can of the Asian market. They think they are the Chinese frarnchise even down to the lettering on their uniforms. Rockets just need to stop pandering, stop playing gimmicky basketball and just play hard defense, put the ball in the hole. Put up or shutup.
When they do get out of the 1st round?
McHale is a racist and mediocre coach. He looks like a lousy politician.
Jeremy Lin sympathizer are the worst. Mental mistakes werent because of the offense but the player.
Rockets will always have a Chinese connection the second Yao retired a Rocket. A "fan" like yourself sounds like a bitter girlfriend that wants the guy to change.
Why complain about so much about your team, you are a cliff jumper fan that clutchfans is famous for.
Shut up Lin hater. Just watch how bad the Rockets this season will be.
The Rockets will be about the same as they were last year. They didn't get better, they didn't get any worse. They might have a better defensive player in Ariza but we are weak at point guard. All it would take is Patrick Beverly to get hurt and our starting point guard is Jet or Canaan. Hardly an upgrade.
Yeah sure, that's like saying that the Celtics are a white team cause Larry Bird played there. Rockets need to get better and fans need to vent when their franchise if falling down making stupid moves. Don't think I'm right? Just look at our off season of trades.
Only retort is to tell me to shut up?? I was a big Lin supporter but his play just didnt cut it. Nothing to do with race either
They just seem to support the Rockets for some reason. I remember when Yao and TMac were a duo. McGrady was outselling Yao in jersey sales in China.
