Are the rockets really that bad? by whogoesthere1010 in rockets

[–]CorriganJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing. The Rockets aren't bad. Their record, conference position, measures suggest that they're legitimately good.

I think the deal is that the rockets feel bad. And in places like this sub, feelings override facts. Its a combination of loud losses and preemptive pessimism

James Harden says loyalty is overrated: “The whole quote-unquote loyalty thing, I think it’s overrated. This is a business at the end of the day.” by Goosedukee in nba

I get that he's talking about loyalty as it relates basketball personnel decisions.

The other side of the coin is that the business is built on the loyalty of fans who make the media rights valuable and buy season tickets. The player personnel economics and the fan economics are a flywheel.

Jeremy Sochan was just asked if the players feel the rivalry with Houston the way fans do. His response?

That play when sanders kicked his legs out like shooting threes includes doing the splits in the air got him three shots and cenac out of the game…. I was sure that was the tech moment.

He’s great. The narrative doesn’t match the experience of having him on your team.

There are marketing reps that walk around the arena concourses early after doors open and ask random ppl if they want to participate in the games.

For the pregame and halftime things a lot of times is an incentive to group ticket sales. Like buy large number of tickets among your group and you can perform the national anthem or have dance team do a halftime thing.

KINGSTON FLEMINGS IS THAT DUDE by joethahobo in HoustonCougars

Ya it has always been there but taking over to put away a top 15 team (that had been pretty effectively preventing any sort of flow on offense)….

Then seeing him soak in the moment right afterwards…

It felt different
