Seems like there are 2 separate threads for this series going on. Too difficult to do a full time switch to a Series thread when you're in the playoffs?

I saw you there and figured that to be true. Just a weird divide going on.

The series thread is for those of us who don't want to be banned by posting in the season thread.

Lester Hudson scared them on the Clippers thread.

Apparently only Rocket player and staff can post on the season thread.

Everyone is welcome in our season thread, especially on nights when we win. We are a happier crowd after W's

What thread we post on matters why..?

It's like Mos Eisley when you lose though. Hive of scum and villainy.

It's the difference in posting on Texags during an A&M game or posting on a neutral site and **** talking the other team fans.

Some people like to just talk amongst fans.

While I do agree with this sentiment, I honestly like to get perspectives from both sides when I'm talking about a game, especially when my team isn't in the game or series.

I believe I know a lot about basketball and how the game is played and the beauty of it, and I like to comment on things I see and try to add to the thread/game for others or learn from the people I watch games with or the fans of the teams involved.

Also, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. Fans of a team will usually defend their team to death or defy reality or other perspectives. When there is talk from both sides I tend to get a better grasp of where things actually are, and perhaps try to comment on what I see if I think fans are being stubborn to the truth. This is oftentimes misinterpreted as trolling, which is understandable given the internet culture, but I still think that I gain a lot from others on basketball threads.

Overall, who really cares because it is an internet forum and honestly it doesn't matter to me that the Rockets are allowed to have their own thread that only they can comment on, it is just fun to make fun of them for it.

Also, hardly any Mavericks fans ever post on here so I often have to resort to other teams to talk about basketball.

Rockets have two threads talking about the same same thing, better start another one to find out why.

And my non-Rockets fan thread gets deleted. The BB Other mods are the worst.

Did you really expect that thread to last? I was surprised it lasted as long as it did

In a normal world, yes. On this board with the ridiculous homer Rockets fan moderator, probably not.

Texags really needs to do something about having a super fan of one team moderating this board because that person has ruined the board experience for a lot of us that have been around for many years.

You honestly think that a thread devoted to talk **** about one specific fanbase, and to forbid said fanbase from posting on that thread, is going to stick here? Give me a break.

That might fly on Old Rivalries, though. You might even get more hits over there too. I just find it odd how so many posters cannot see their hypocrisy for doing the exact same thing they accuse Rockets fans of doing

We only do that because that's been the precedent and direction established by the moderation tendencies on here.

And if Rockets fans get their own circle jerk thread, why can't non-Rockets fans have their own?

Um, there are official off season threads for the Spurs and Mavericks along with an official season thread for the Grizzlies on the first page. Or are you asking why they don't allow "Hate on the ______ here" circle jerk threads. Can't you just hate on the Rockets in the thread covering your team?

No, watching Rockets fans meltdown is not really relevant to any team's season thread (unless we use the Rockets thread which we already know generates a tremendous amount of butthurt from Rockets fans and their moderators).

Why wouldn't they want all the tears contained in one place. Three people that will get butt hurt over it can just avoid that one thread.

If other fans aren't welcome to discuss the Rockets on the Rockets thread, those fans should be able to have their non-Rockets thread to post as they please as fans of other teams.

I'm serving jury duty at Harris County Courthouse and the bailiff asked if anyone had trouble walking. Then added "if you were watching the Rockets last night, kicked something and broke your foot, we aren't gonna judge you"

Ha a few days ago, you said we when referring to the Rockets. Now you say they when we're down 3-1.

Only what he said is a complete lie. Just more examples of Rockets fans trolling this board and treating it like Rivalries.

Yeah, that's not even a subtle dig. It's much more of a compliment than a dig. Blake played great in the first half and we have to stop allowing that.


Yep, I lied.
