    Nope not every arena and not every possession like Toyota. Not in Denver, not in Oakland, and not in Madison Square.

    Toyota Center has music and hype on every possession.

    Go to some games dude, like anywhere in the country

    we play that “Let’s go Rockets” music on damn near every possession it seems like...the crowd barely goes along with it unless it’s a close game in the 4th

    I haven’t checked around since being on CF but would i be lying if I said CF is the largest basketball forum for an nba team? If so this makes no sense having this dead a crowd with this big a fan base (that is if most cf members are living in Houston)

    Hard to argue with Mr. Simmons.
    Not hat I've been to every arena, but Rockets attendance and crowd involvement is pathetic these days.

    He was better in 1994. Such a shame he had to get mixed in with that white nationalist crowd. Shaved his head and now you can hear that extra oompf in his voice whenever a white man dunks.

    It's in every arena. There is a reason for it, I'd have to find the article or source, but there is a reason. Great, you've been to four arenas. Congrats man. Surprise people fall for this BS.


    Look at this article.

    Not sure if it's truly bottom 3, but relative to team success it absolutely is.
