I live in Nashville and it's about a 3 hour drive to Memphis but I really want to get an upclose in person look at Ming..I also have the NBA package so I can watch the game if I want to.. I need some motivation to make the drive and support the ROX way up in Memphis!
If you don't get up and go now, will you ever. Back when I had the free time (i.e. - was a student) I made trips to San Antonio and Dallas to watch the Rockets play. They lost both games, but they were both very close, very crowded and very exciting. The people in Dallas, especially, seemed like great fans that year (their last year in Reunion Arena) - maybe it as just because the game was so close and the Rockets gave it away in teh final few minutes.
Well, game starts at 8pm est, you dont have much time left to think on this. Just go, it's going to worth whatever is more important to you. Ming is going to get career hight points and rebounds againist Griz's interior lineup, you wouldnt want to miss that, would you.
Oh, forget to ask you which side you are for. If you are memphis fan, and plan to cheer for Griz regardless of Yao Ming, then forget about what I said.
Bite your damn tongue ..I am a Rockets fan!!! I think I am going.. damn I don't have any Rockets gear on hand..it's cold here!!
Then what I should do? I live in Canada, and it will take me @least 2 days to drive to Texas. I am not student either, so I don't have free time... I have been watching too much computer graphics then...
OK...well I went to the game...three hours one way in the rain? and what do i get...that shiznit I saw on the court...The Rockets looked scared and confused on the court throwing half-ass passes to people with their backs turned.. It was disappointing .. I was one of the few Rockets fans there..and I didn't feel good about what I saw. Francis had a good game but Jason Williams blew by him at will..and Griffin was toasted often by Gasol..and the free throws..don't even get me started! Yao Ming looked tired or afraid or timid something like that it was frustrating..he still isn't hitting on all cylinders.. well I have to forget this one and hell I am going back to H-Town for Christmas so maybe I'll go to the Atlanta game in houston. We are NOT a good road team!
