    I wasn't watching the game - busy with other stuff - and had forgotten it was on. I was talking to my wife and, all at once, both my cell phone and my home phone ring. It was Clutch on the cell and another BBS'er/friend of mine on the home.

    I didn't answer telling my wife, "Why would I bother? Must be a wrong number at almost 10pm." I seriously thought it was just a coincidence or one of my musician friends calling. I just ignored it.

    Then, I got to my computer around 10:20pm and saw an instant message from Clutch that just said, "HOLY ****" and I knew something was up. :)

    missed it. watched the game until there was about 3 minutes left...then had to put my oldest son down to sleep...honestly, i thought the game was over.

    so this morning i'm getting dressed..and i turn on ESPN to watch sportscenter...and the score flashes up on the bottom of the screen with the Rockets highlighted as winners. I did a double-take..couldn't believe it!

    since then, i've seen the highlights roughly one million times.

    I'm so proud of myself, I never gave up hope through out the game. When we were down 10 in the last minute, I knew we still have a chance since I have done this kind of comeback in NBA Live a few times before. I knew as long as we can get some stops and carefully control the possession, we still have a chance. And when T-Mac started to knocking down those crazy 3s I went crazy, I think the whole street can hear me screaming.

    I was driving home from the game, because I gave up hope and left the arena when we were down by 9.

    I was at the game wearing my T-Mac Jersey and talking sh*t to all the Spurs fans who were behind me ragging on me the minute before.

    I was at the game. With about a minute left i was feeling dejected so me and my date decide to leave the game. I stopped off in the bathroom and was listening to Gene Peterson's call of the Yao Ming Dunk and Padgetts steal and basket.

    I get out of the bathroom right next to my section and started watching the tv's because my date was still in the bathroom.

    Saw the first 3, then the four point play. I started saying to myself too little too late. My date comes out and says to me wow, they are coming back and i say it's too late...she goes i guarantee they are going to win.

    I give her a stupid look and i am like okay lol...so we sit there and watch the final 16 seconds in amazment. I guarantee there was more people in the hallways watching the game then in the stands.

    After that when we went outside all i saw were people on their cell phones screaming and trying to make everyone believe that the Rockets really did come back and win.

    I had friends calling me all night that were at work asking me what happened the Rockets game...at that time i was already buzzing and going off on how amazingly we came back.

    She wasn't even apologetic that she made me miss it. I don't know how long this marrage is gonna last:(

    That's just the regular well Rum...we get different ones as our well rum from the distributor it just depends on what they got in stock and they send us.

    Just checked...the one we have right now is Castillo, but we also have used Ron Rio and other ones....you can find them at specs under the cheap stuff isle heheh....

    Your probably trying to get yourself wasted and make a Rum with a drop of coke lol.....

    All depends on how much liquor you put in it so it tastes right...too much alcohol defeats the purpose of a good tasting drink...

    And in your case we just gave you coke and charged you for it =)....didn't have any rum in there....

    jk:D

    I was watching the national televised game as usuall, though missed the first 4 minutes due to my wife picking me up late. My wife said to me they were not gonna win it. I prayed for a miracle that we can go to the OT. Right after the game, my friend visited me with his family, which held me 1 and half hours before I can come to the BBS. And I spent 5 hours on every piece of comments on this game all over the world, then worked on my project for 2 hours until breakfast. Without a sleep, I came to office and still hang around here till now.

    Props to TNT : "we know drama" :D
    and to T-Mac and Yao: "impossible is nothing", "be big" ;)

    I was supposed to be writing my take home final for my Property class due a few hours ago. While I probably didn't write as good a paper as I could have, didn't get any sleep last night, and will probably impact my first semester grades significantly, it was worth it.

    One thing that i would definently like to note is that yes T-Mac's heroics were unbelievable..

    I would like to give at least a little props to yao and Padgett for picking up those 4 points that we thought were garbage at that point.

    Without those points T-Mac's 13 wouldn't have meant much...

    I think they just deserve a bit of thanks as well
