    Even Coach called the crowd out in post game interview, calling the crowd flat as one of a possible reasons for the slow start

    Tbh im more confident that we're gonna win if it's an away game than home game right now. We have the best record in the league, the best offence of all time, and 2 hall or fame players in their prime, yet we can't get people to show up on time to games.

    And don't blame on traffic and high ticket prices because there are other cities with worse traffic and higher ticket prices with worse teams yet their home games are more energetic and hype than ours.

    What is it gonna take for people to show up to games? And I don't think lowering ticket prices is an option because that's the price for best team in the league with two hall of famers on it.

    Make the games less boring by losing a few here and there.

    Were you at the game or were you chilling at home complaining about how other people choose to spend their money?

    I'd like to complain about the crowd but I've only been to 2 games in 3 years so I'm SOL on my elitist fan schtick.

    I'm a broke college student but i still make sure a save up some money to attend some games. I'm sure the millions of people who are considered wealthy in this city don't have same limitations that I do

    I speak for all my 8-5 peeps(specificly energy corridor) that don't want to drive in the traffic and would rather go home after a long day, sit on the couch with some dinner, and watch the game. We are one of the laziest cities in the country aren't we?

    Also if money is the only reason why the attendance is low than we don't deserve a championship caliber team. There are other cities who will pay much more money to see this team play

    all you can control is yourself. If you can't afford to go then so be it.

    We can't spend other peoples money

    1. Toyota Center crowd
    2. Toyota Center back ground seats. Did the blackout help the shooting vs Spurs?
    3. Opposing team lacking key players
    4. Coach started Ryan Anderson
    5. Coach started Capela instead of Nene
    6. Cheerleaders left scuff marks on the court during pre game practice
    7. Clutch slobbered all over the Rockets offensive end after Foreman sent him napping (knockout)
    8. Harden took CP3 to the strip club last night
    9. The table for pre game snacks and fruit was set up late
    10. Blah, blah, blah

    exactly. That's always my point when people complain about toyota center attendance. The only thing they can do to make any change is to buy a ticket. Anything else really isn't productive at all.

    The Rockets have the best road record in the league where there’s even less people cheering for them. And they still play well. At home they come out half stepping expecting the game to go a certain way because they’re at home, then they realize they have to actually play hard and earn the win.

    I believe that this thread has no effect on who decides to go to games, like non.

    People who have spare money and time will go when they want to. People who don't, will not go if they don't want to. I HEAVILY doubt this affected anybodys decision about when they go to games lol.

    No, I blame the team for the slow start. They are so good that they know they can coast the first three quarters and then pour it on in the fourth.
