    The numbers haven't drastically improved a great deal, but the past few games I've been to, it seems like the fans are more supportive and that the arena is a little bit more packed than usual. I know packed and Compaq Center aren't two words that go together alot, but it just seemed like the crowds have been larger. We'll see how the recent surge of the Rockets affects the ticket sales tommorow versus Orlando. I think ticket sales will be at 13,000 , which would be an improvement. This is off topic, but I just remembered this Barkley heckler of a few years ago who was just dogged with his insults, and had to be the worst heckler I've ever heard at Rocket's games. He would just go on saying "Baaarrrklllleeyyyy! You suck Barkley! Put in Othella Rudy! Get Barkley's fat ass outta there!" Does anybody know the guy I'm talking about? He just stands out in my mind.

    But,don't worry, I have been working on some new material for Barkley, for when he comes out of retirement........

    I promise, you'll like it, I'll even let you sit by me during the game.........

    lol, that was you? I didn't take any offense to it, I just thought it was funny as hell, because you could tell Barkley could hear you. You sit in the lower level, right?
