Rockets Voted Most Hated Franchise.....everybody hates the H!

[Sledge187]

You hate us cause you ain't us! H-Town 4 life!

[lilpete]

houston is awesome

[Auto Donk]

i'll second that....

[Ted Sheckler]

Tough to believe they're the most hated.

Gotta think Boston/New York teams.

Patriots...Yankees

[Auto Donk]

a lot of the votes were probably still fallout from the Kardashiho Pig Klhoe, even tho she doesn't graze around here anymore

[jjgold]

Houston not a place you want to go

[Auto Donk]

well, that is true for some people, such as those who naively threatened to "roll me".....

if those people show up in H-town, they'll wind up wishin' they'd been at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando last Saturday night..... would have been much easier, and quicker, for them than having to deal with me....

[bigtymer56]

Guessing this vote is based on the players: Harden, Howard, Beverly... not many likable guys on this team.

harden drives opposing fans absolutely mad when he gets calls by intentionally running right into people as he drives the lane..... f'n people lose their minds when he goes to the line after initiating contact in the lane.....

throw in all the LA voters who hate Dwight, and it's not a surprise the Rockets got the nod

[daneblazer]

Wasn't ParlayinNHTown from Houston? Maybe Houston won most hated because everyone there voted for themselves

[sweethook]

I though it was orlando

[Bill Dozer]

Houston is a great destination for NBA players. It's warm and there is good nightlife. No state taxes. But this version of the Rockets is full of themselves... like a bunch of spoiled kids that need spankings but mgt is afraid.

Dwight is probably gone right? Would you want to play with Harden?

[19th Hole]

It fits. Very unlikeable squad,

[jjgold]

they will never win period
start over

[The Kraken]

they will never win period
start over

Same could be said for you, JJ

[Bill Dozer]

Who do you trade Harden for?

[daneblazer]

Burn

Who do you trade Harden for?

Don't think you can trade Harden without losing a lot of fan interest. It would signal a total rebuild which seems unnecessary given that they have made the playoffs all four years Harden has been there. With Dwight off the books, they are going to have a ton of money to spend on the free agent market. They could feasibly build decent team around Harden and remain a playoff team.

No Parson, no Howard, and a lot of ooold dudes. These guys could miss the playoffs anyways. Could they get Ben Simmons straight up? Simmons and Noel?

Then 76ers put together Embiid, Harden, Oakafor and that Euro dude coming over. Sign Jeremy Lin at point. Sixers in East finals and Rockets have fresh core... I put too much thought into that.

That would be a massive shakeup. I think it would certainly make for an interesting offseason but just feel like we so rarely see moves at that level. Houston is in no hurry to kill interest in the team despite last seasons dumpster fire.

While it might be the right direction as far as building for the long term but it seems like Houston would be smart to cling onto the scraps that have within their grasp. Won't win a championship but will likely kee the city interested.

[opie1988]

I highly doubt this. Houston is an afterthought. No one cares enough to hate them.

Now if the poll had said "Antfather is voted the biggest douche in Houston"...then yeah, TOTALLY BELIEVABLE

[Sledge187]

Dallas was voted most irrelevant......Cuban really screwed that team.....terrible deals for Parsons and Mathews....letting Chandler go. Cuban is close to becoming Jerry Jones.

[Bill Dozer]

You have to appreciate Cuban putting the best team on the floor he can though. He could have traded Dirk for picks. Rondo to Dallas next year? why not.
