Houston Rockets: The least likable team in 20 years?

[HylianNightmare]

I can't stand Houston but the least likeable team of all time for me are these warriors

[Spurs m8]

The fact I easily hate the Rockets more than the Warriors really speaks volumes tbh

Amazing for a team that hasn't even won anything and won't win anything...

As a few have already mentioned the only reason I don't hate the Warriors dynasty is BECAUSE of the Rockets. They're the "good guys" in comparison to what the league can turn into if the Rockets have any lasting success

The way they play and approach basketball just goes against what I've always enjoyed about the sport since I started watching. Shoot 3s and layups, forget the midrange and post game, and they take their philosophy to an unhealthy extreme

Funny enough the Warriors keep it balanced, they do a bit of everything but they ultimately play around their personal. That's the secret

For most purist it is this Rockets.



For the casuals it's the Warriors.

They dont play basketball.

Youd think some dudes from compton would have some pride to not play like bitches.

i dont really. It's a boring style to watch but they're the first to go all out with this "ridiculous" style and I can understand trying to win at all costs. It helps that I like Paul and Gordon a lot(and yes Paul is whiny ik). Tucker is a dream role player, think anyone can respect him at least.

I think it's some wishful thinking to believe this style doesnt work even if they havent won anything yet and likely wont this year. It's people telling themselves that because they understandably hate the style. They want to believe midrange/post game is still the way to go and it does have more value in the playoffs but most of the league, not just the Rockets dont value it heavily anymore. The Spurs tried being an exception and did pretty well honestly but still couldnt win 50 games or get out of the first round with two all stars essentially(in many eras). Ofc they still take 25 3's a game too lol.

Small ball has become less and less of a thing in baseball(stealing bases, sac bunts, pitchouts, intentional walks etc). NFL fans eventually got over using just the rules reason to explain why most teams were passing 40+ times a game. Basketball fans will have to accept the state of our league too or just stop watching which I've honestly seen with some people. Reducing fouls could help fan interest and make the rockets especially less unwatchable like at least penalizing those intentional fouls stopping fast breaks
