    Seriously. Saw this crap everywhere at game 3, on t-shirts, on signs, on the jumbotron. Simply pathetic and lame excuse for a slogan or chant. Makes us look like simpletons.

    What morons are responsible for that?

    How bout being at least a little bit creative?

    The Rockets didn't start Beat L.A.... It's been a common chant for YEARS in the NBA.

    Oh I know the 80's origins. And it's just as stupid and lame now as it was then.

    Why revive a tired lame slogan?

    There are so many better rallying slogans that could have been chosen.

    This is a classic NBA chant. I don't get how referring to it makes us look like simpletons, except to people that are just ignorant of NBA history.

    "Houston, you have a problem" > "BEAT LA" when it comes to lameness.

    You should check out USC bookstore for for those creative Trojan jerseys. As matter of fact, it was too creative that I was afraid of getting beat wearing it while I am on the road.
