Who is the Houston Rockets biggest rival at the moment?

In basketball parlance, a broken nose is only a flesh wound.

The Jazz by far. Although the Jazz's greatest enemies is any team that has Phil Jackson on it. I swear you guyses should hire him.

Jazz easily, hopefully we can beat em once to make it an actual competitive rivalry.

Jazz easily. Who can forget both '97 and '98? Stockton, Malone, and Hornacek might be gone, but they still play dirty - Sloan's teams always do.

It's high time for a little payback.

You left out an option for "biggest Rockets rival". You left out "Tracy McGrady".

After Tracy McGrady, THEN we can talk about Utah.

Fixed.

But in all seriousness, it certainly seems like the Jazz have been your poison the last few years. This is one of those rivalries where I don't think it's mutual, I feel as a Jazz fan we have far bigger rivlas then the Rockets i.e. the Spurs, Hornets and Lakers.

Dearest Batronuj,

You played us in a year where our sixth man was Luther Head, our starting PF was a combination of Juwan Howard and Chuck Hayes, and yet we still managed to take you to 7 games. You played us again in a year where we were missing our starting all-star center and only point guard, yet still won 2 of the 3 games our pg played, blowing you out in one of them. We've SIGNIFICANTLY improved since last season (and were SCARY at full strength even then), while you haven't improved much since either season. Your core blocks are nothing more than inferior residual images of the great, yet still comically insufficient, heroes of your franchise past. But I'd say you have good reason to be confident, yeah.

Keep dreaming.

The only way Utah doesn't fear us is from injuries, otherwise the Jazz are a speed bump. Please take your cocky superiority either somewhere more in tune with reality, or somewhere that won't call you out for spinning silly incoherence harder than Fox News. It'll help avoid strife.

Thanks,
The Rockets Board.

I'll agree to the Hornets, but you can't be a rival to a team that has won more finals in the last 15 years than you have been in.

This needs to be locked, because moofs just hit a walk off home run with that post.

What make you think Jazz deserve to be call Spurs and Lakers rival? Rockets gave the Jazz a more challenging series than Jazz gave either to Spurs or Lakers. Forgetting being completely annihilated by them I assume?
