    It was empty at the start but it got full by 2nd q. Best game of the year. Everyone was up by the 4th.

    Was at the game and it was probably 70 percent full at best. There was at least 25 percent faker fans though...makes me sick.

    Great W though

    Arena never fills up, sports radio talks football 28 hours a day. It's sad.

    Can they push the start time back to 730? I think it was 730 start times for awhile, no?

    Just got home from the game. The arena was as full as it ever gets, with plenty of Lakers fans. The Houston crowd arrived fashionably late as usual and the same corporate seats that are nearly always empty were empty yet again. This thread is silly.

    Early in the game you can see some empty seats in the lower bowl.

    But close to the end of the second quarter, people were there watching.

    After half time some of the lower bowl seats were empty again.

    But when we were closing in on the Lakers, the seats were taken.

    You win and people started to show up...it's that simple for teams that don't have much history or not in cities where there is nothing to do.

    I prefer 7 pm starts, but it seems like people think 730 is still the start time. And when people thought 730 was start time, they showed up at 745.

    Anyway, it's the damn stilestone club area. People hang out there too much talking about stupid ****. I'd kinda listen to what people would talk about when I get a bite or get something to eat. Just want to punch folks sometimes.

    The crowd was 70-30 Rockets to Kobe fans.


    Saw a dude in a Lakers jersey and cowboys hat. Kinda wanted to call him out on that, but he was too far away.

    Your right about that, tickets that I paid paid $20 for a couple of weeks ago were $80. My son went to a game last week where here got a good deal on some lower bowl tickets 2 for $28 after everything and those tickets were $90 a piece tonight.

    This subject has been talked about many times. People show up late, or are in the lounges. Seats are sold, people just taking their time getting to their seats. No big deal.
