I lived an hour from Houston for 2 years but that was awhile back.
Against my better judgement I chased the almighty dollar down I-10 and have found myself living in the suburb of Rocket . Any other Spurs fans out here in Houston? I am constantly amazed at the amount of Spurs gear rolling through this town. It never fails though that at least once a week as I am parked on the Katy Freeway some mullet-wearing Rocket fan will lean out of his 20 year old rusted out truck and start screaming about how Hakeem schooled David back in '95. Truly pitiful. In fact, the first time every Rocket fan finds out I am from SA, that same statement pops out of their pie hole like projectile hurling. What? The two rings during MJ's banishment were not legitimate enough for them that they must resort to the "our center was better than your center 10 years ago" angle? Truly pitiful. Thank God I am a Spurs fan.

I was in Houston from April 2004 to December of last year. You have my sympathy!
Thank God I am back in the Promised Land!
I think I lived near Houston 99 1/2 - 01 1/2

that's what you get for selling your soul to satan. Houston sucks.
I live out by Clear Lake. Spent the 95 series in a sports bar filled with Rocket Fans who came out here to see the home games on TV because it was more than 35 mi. from city. A very rough time when Dream was beating up on Dave Robinson.
First thing ya gotta watch is that you have to stop at the corner on green lights and look both ways, 'cause there's always an idiot running the red.
There's gotta be hundreds of Spurs fan in the Houston area. And hey you can now use the "Whose got more rings" line.
I was born there. Lived ther for two years and I have
been in SA since then. Spur for life!
Damn Im amazed on how many people from SA tried Houston and found it as horrible as I did. I lived there for a year, also chasing the $$$, but found living there wasnt worth the money and left my job and moved here
Native son living in Houston since 1998. I lived in Biloxi and Gulport MS and and then made my way to Southern Miss from 92-98. On a side note.. I have a feeling the apt complex on the news , that referred to 30 people being killed in Biloxi, is the one I used to live in. Anyway, there are some of us in H-Town...
I currently live in Houston. I got the best brithday present this past week. My best friend here in Houston who is a die hard rockets fan became a Spurs for the day. So I took advantage of it and I got a pick of us both wearing Spurs jerseys.
I'm all about the Spurs in Houston. I came here for college in 2001, and made more than a few friends who are Rockets fans. It's been kind of funny to listen to their tunes changing through the years. At first it was, "Dream schooled David, that's why we have more rings." Then in 2003 it became, "So what if they won two les? They couldn't do it back to back like the Rockets did." And now it's, "This is the Rockets year, man." Gotta love the Spurs, and you gotta hate this hole of a city.
Man Houston, i went there during the playoffs to go to Astroworld and it so happened that the Spurs were playing the Suns. So i stopped at Hooters with my girl to watch the game, and we were the only ones screaming at the top of our lungs wearing Ginobili jerseys everyone else was looking at us wierd, there was even a group going for the Suns those bas s. We wound up losing that game too i was really pissed, Houston, TX can suck it those ing sore ass losers
I've lived here for ten years. I think for the most part Rocket fans have been beaten into submission by the Spurs success in the Tim Duncan era. Even in the two games a year at the Toyota center, with numerous Spurs fans representing, the back and forth amongst both sides is pretty tame. Personally, any time I'm wearing gear the comments from Rocket fans have an unusual amount of respect attached to them. They all seem to understand what time it is.
Not when i was there, i swear i ate at Hooters and people were all pissed that the Spurs were winning and when id stand up and clap when Manu would do some outlandish , they would all turn look at me, then turn back to the screen and be like "Alright come on Nash beat those ing Spurs" i was like mother er...
My friend who I took a picture with and I usually go to every SA/Rockets in SA or Houston. To bad for him the last 4 years(I have only lived in houston for 4 years) the ride back to Houston has been bad for him. My favorite is the last few years when ever the rockets beat SA the Spurs win the Championship. It makes the trash talking so much more fun. "We got 13 points in 35 seconds" " We got our third Championship in 7 years" I usually win this arguement. "You didnt win back to back les" The rockets are the only team in the last 25 years that hasent won 3 Championships!" They dont like this arguement either.
yeah you keep telling those sore ass Rockets fans that they will never win a championship as long as the Spurs are in the playoffs
I lived in Houston from 1974 through 1977. I don't like the Rockets but I really like the play of TMac! by far a more respectable BB player than Kobe.
oh yes i have to agree with you i think TMAC is the greatest player in the league next to Tim Duncan right now, he can flat out play ball
Usually I tell them the Rockets will never win a championship with Yao on the team, despite that being Stern's wet dream.
Yao sucks horribly, the reason i say that, is simply because he plays softer than Rasho and he's a bigger person than Rasho. Thats just like another level of suck, they are damn lucky to have TMAC on that team.
TMac carried last years team. Ming = M.iss.ing.
Tmac has the same killer instict as Manu.
For those of you here in Clutch(ing their throats) City, consider this an open invite (dutch of course because I am a cheap bas ) to meet at BW3 at Westheimer/Kirkwood on game nights.
from Houston nah but if your ever in town during game nights here hit the board up there is always something going on
