Houston Rockets Valentines

Edit:

Feb 14, 2015

Happy Valentine’s Day! Last year I added the newest ones to the bottom. Adding them to the top this year. Here’s 13 more andddd 5 bonus Barkley vs. Morey ones. Tried to go with some current happenings and a couple of people suggested it as well. It was some of the hardest material to work with. I meditated on puns about it for a few days and finally came up with a few things. I think that puts this at over 90 valentines combined with last year’s! Holy! Might try to come up with a few more today, but I’m pretty photoshopped and punned out.

Did a similar Isaiah pun last year but reworded it slightly

Had to recycle the Calvin Murphy suit puns from last year for Dwight Howard

Everyone on Clutchfans seems to be waitng for Capela’’s first NBA point.

We have some seriously talented passers on the team this year (although not the best entry passes to the post players always) but I really enjoy Pap’s passes

Is your Valentine the same as last year? Or are you confident your first time Valentine this year might want to be your Valentine again? This is the card for you

Barkley vs. Morey

Didn’t get these out as soon as i wanted. This will be the first installment with definitely more to come- I just had to let myself sleep at least a little last night. I just edited last year’s post so all of the other valentines from last year will be below this year’s! Enjoy! More to come





—————-

2014 It wasn’t until February 13th last year that I came up with the idea for some Rockets themed valentines. By that time, it was too late for me to create and compile them for a blog post. I have been patiently waiting for a year to finally share these. Maybe patiently is not an accurate description. I highly contemplated a “Rockets Valentines in October” post… Yeah, glad I didn’t go through with that.

Anyways, enjoy these, send them to your Rockets fan friends or significant other, or even send them to school with your children to give to their classmates. If that last one actually happens, my life is complete.

Check the clutchfans thread I made for discussion and others’ Rockets valentine contributions. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=250621

Need a non cliche way to propose to your gal on the most cliche day of the year? Look no further than this valentine. This was the first one I made last year, and this valentine was the main reason I’m glad he wasn’t traded before the December deadline.

The pic of Harden and these basketballs is the greatest thing ever.

I could never pass you up… or pass you the ball

This one inspired by the should’ve been a grammy winner single “Harden Soul.” Let’s go out for seafood. We’ll have a shrimp fest.

“I want to know what love is, and I want Jew to show me?”

Sorry, couldn’t pass this one up.

I could never, Patrick. A little message from the most lovable guy on the team. He'll steal your heart

Valentines for those you love bear-y much

The perfect valentine for the center of your life

A valentine to get the point across

Me compile Rockets valentines and not include this one? Ha

For that special bro in your life.

Finally a valentine for the hopeless romantics just getting out of a relationship.

Give me a shot. Considered an “I miss you like free throws," valentine for that long distance valentine you don’t see often, but Dwight’s been doing too well with the free throws lately.

I wouldn’t dream of it Donatas. You know how I love my Eastern European basketball players.

You know what I Ming

Desperate. Yet effective. Don’t say "No, No, No” to me

For my fellow Clutchfans. Scola. It’s the perfect “I like you, but don’t let it go to your head” valentine.

If you’ve seen the Rockets Air Clutch video prank, you know Cisco ain’t scared of nuthin’. Link to video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66ISPSHu5eE

The perfect valentine for just about anyone, especially for platonic friends or even your enemies. Just a nice well wishing valentine featuring a former Rocket. :)

& finally, a message to all the non-believers

Edit: Since originally posting the above 26, I came up with a few more. I cannot guarantee they are all as great, as I am a bit punned out.

Air Clutch

If you’ve listened to the broadcast, you know all too much about this ever so confusing phrase.

“I just called (up from the D-League), to SAIAH love you”

Edit: Edit: My brain seriously will not let me go about my day. It’s in valentine/pun creating state, so here’s some more valentines!

Edit Edit Edit

The valentine to let someone know that you ain’t down for 2nd place.

I can shake a lot of things i.e. defenders, milk, weights, etc. But my feelings for you? No.

Call me up sometime. I’d love to spend some time with you. Even if it is just for 10 days.

edit edit edit edit: trying to squeeze in as many puns as I can today. Any ones I think of after today won’t be relevant for about the next 360 days

I’ve Maxed out my credit cards buying your Valentine’s Day gifts

Kiss me, but don’t let it be the death of me

huuaah

It’s my fault your boyfriend gave you flowers when you wanted chocolate. It’s my fault you don’t have a valentine.

edit edit edit edit edit: Well it’s been fun this Valentine’s Day. I really wanted Dwight Howard to see my nae nae valentine, he did and ended up posting it on instagram!

I sent a few of the valentines out to some of the players on twitter today, certainly not the stomping valentine to T Jones. I got a direct message reply from Shane Battier! He’s amazing.

I’m probably going to leave it with these last 4 valentines, unless I have a revelation before hitting the hay. I’m pretty punned out. The positive response from these has made this an awesome Valentine’s Day for me. It almost made me forget the feelings of loneliness, and the fact I’ve never been the recipient of a cookie bouquet or heart shaped pizza. Almost.

53 valentines!!!!! Last 4 are kind of with me in mind. People know me as a Goran Dragic fan, so I was challenged to make one for him.

Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty anyone?

This one makes me :(

& concluding with yours truly…

Can’t wait to get started on next year’s!
