First off, this was a great win and boy did they did it in fashion. This is the first game I have attended this season and it probably wont be my last. I bought my 2 cousins and I $10 seats for the game, cuz I am a cheapo. They were in the 239 section Row R, really far back. The seats werent bad for the price. But, about a few weeks ago, I was reading that its pretty easy to move down because of the poor attendence we have been showing. At halftime, we moved to a more better section with a better view over at section 212. I was sweating the whole third quarter thinkin we were going to get called out, but lucky enough, every seat on the row we sat on was taken EXCEPT the three seats we occupied. Aint that just luck? As for the crowd, it was pretty weak for showing fan support. Hell, when I was at section 239, they were more cheers for the Mavs. By the time I moved to section 212, I was bout one of the few people cheering. A few guys two rows down were bout the same as me. We were shouting at everybody. When Cato was bout to check in, they shouting "Hey Rudy, change your mind and put Cato on the bench!" I was all shouting "Put Langhi In!!!!". I was kinda upset for the lack of support for Griffin. Yea I know he played garbage mins, but you got to support this young kid. I gave him a standing ovation for his block and attempting to dunk over Bradley (by the way, his miss breakaway dunk, was the funniest thing I have seen in awhile). The entertainment during the timeouts were boring as well. The best thing I witness was when Clutch da Bear stole one of the vendors supply of Popcorn he was selling, then running away from him and giving away the popcorn to the crowd. Turbo was pretty awesome with those two other gymnist. The little dance with the cheerleaders dressed as cowgirls wasnt too shabby either . During the end of the game, we went down to the lower prom to stay for the radio interview. As we passed by the cameras, one of the camera guys gave my cousin a media guide of both the Rocks and Mavs. Its bout the size of a book but not like the yearbooks. Its was pretty cool with same stuff you would see in a yearbook but with more history information. Calvin Murphy was nice to sign autographs after the game. Plus, Oscar Torres came out too, but for just a little bit to sign autographs. Its was a great night and will be attending more Rockets games that I usually do in the past few seasons.
Man why are you scared about being called out? I was called out last time I went, it was no big deal. Just find another seat.
I was at the game - Section 114, Row T (right behind the basket). I was the only guy in my area yelling at the players. During the first quarter, when Glen set a pick and Francis ended up being isolated against Nowitzki, I yelled "Blow by him Francis!" Sure enough, Steve went right around Dirk and did a reverse layup. Very cool. However, that was the last time my yelling did any good. After Bradley airballed a shot in the 2nd half, I yelled "Airball!" the next two times he got the ball. Unfortunately, Bradley hit both those shots. Guess I'm not much of a heckler. I did yell "Put in Langhi" when there was a minute left in the game. Not that I expected Langhi to do anything, but I just wanted to see every active Rocket get off the bench. Obviously the Rockets won this pretty handily, although I think it could have been a record-setting blowout if they had pushed the ball up the floor more often. The team really slowed when Moochie was on the floor - way too much dribbling. KT had two vicious dunks in the first that just demoralized Dallas. And of course Steve was on fire. Overall, I had a good time but the crowd response was pretty dismal. I heard more applause for the BMX biker tricks at halftime. Although it was funny when Turbo and Clutch did the really lame skit on the tricycles and people started booing.
I was just worried that they would have called me out by telling one of the ushers. But it turned out to be aight. Ima try to again soon and do the cheap $10 thing.
Media guides are great we get them all the time when your season ticket holders. As far as crowd it was loud but not roaring because for one it was a blowout the only highlight was watching mark cuban with his head down sulking because his Mavericks just got punked! Oh yeah and where i was sitting in section 124 row F I had two attorneys next to me talking about who was gonna represent Cami for his "extracarricular activities" and that it did not look good hahahaha pure waste of talent! You know its a blowout when sheryl swoopes leaves early! Hey Steve Nash get a HAIRCUT
Dave, don't worry about the ushers. All they'll do is ask to see your ticket stub. Just go find a better seat, I always do! The best part of the stadium to do so is behind the media table usually 3-8 rows up and sometimes if you're lucky and have the cojones to go for it you can get a seat on the floor right behind the announcers. Off topic, but is Nash still going out with Elizabeth Hurley? After the game last night I was switching channels and watched part of Dangerous Ground with Ice Cube and Hurley and daaayyyyyyuuuuummmmm is she fuggin hot in that flick!!!!!
Do not be worried or frightened when your jumping seats hehehe all you have to do is act like you belong their and you will be fine. This one couple from japan infront of me <tourist> filled up two empty seats infront me snapping pictures and acted like they belonged. Kinda funny to because I saw the Pictures they were snapping on their digital and one was just the actual basketball going into the hoop hahah but it was cute. They told me in japan Steve Francis is very popular and Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant as well. Very nice older couple glad to know Rockets get respect elsewhere as well.
I don't think Liz Hurley ever went out with Steve Nash. I thought it was Ginger Spice he knocked off for a bit. Anyway, Hurley is pregnant by her "boyfriend" Steven Bing. Unfortunately, he has bailed out on her. He's some rich dude and I think he's worried about having to fork over lots of $$$ in child support. What a loser. Anyway, Hugh Grant is now back on the scene helping her out.
