    I was lucky enough to get tickets on the front row to last nights game v the Warriors. It was really fun being that up close and personal. We got there early in hopes that my 6 year old son could get some autographs, however I guess we weren't early enough because nobody was out there shooting an hour before the game.

    We did get to meet JVG though. That guy was so incredibly personable and friendly. I told him how we had moved to California from Houston and we just sat there and talked like old friends for 10 minutes. He was great.

    Some brief observations:
    -McGrady was definitely moving better than I've seen all year (but he did seem to have a little bit of a belly)
    -Carl Landry is a beast. He just flat out outworks people in the paint
    -Von Wafer is a great athelete. I really think he will be a legit rotational player in the NBA.
    -Wasn't really much trash talking. Maybe because Warriors are so bad this year
    -Fans at Oracle are great. I wish Toyota Center fans had as much energy.

    I have some great pictures, including me and my son with JVG but I haven't figured out how to post them. Any help?

    you can use a free image host like www.imageshack.us to host the file (you will need to register there) and then they will give you a forum code to post pictures here.

    upload them to flickr or photobucket and share with the Rockets world...

    great story! I got to chat with Gene last season at Staples Center and this season Daryl Morey walked right in front of me and I went fanboy on him...

    Sorry can't help with the pictures upload, but my brother and I were like 3-4 rows behind JVG, Breen, & Jackson, so you must have been fairly close to where we were sitting. Any plans to go to the game in April?

    We actually live in Lincoln, just north of Sacramento. I already have tickets to the Kings game in April but recently realized its during my kids spring break and we are going to be in Hawaii. Now I have to try and sell them. Know anybody interested?

    Oh well, I've tried to upload and can't get it to work. I'll try again later. If anybody REALLY wants to see them I could email some to you and you could put them up.

    How much you selling them for?

    I would have gone to the game last night but I had to study for/take finals. Sucks. Was a great game too. All my friends went. :(

    BTW great story. I really want to meet JVG. He seems really cool. An hour isn't early enough. If you go 2 hours before game, you can see them shooting around and possibly catch them as they go to the locker room and back.

    I got Mike James, Luis Scola, Shane Battier, and Chuck Hayes to sign my jersey. T-Mac and Yao don't really do that stuff because they don't come out of the tunnel until the security ask you to go back to your seat.

    Good luck getting autographs next time.

    The EASIEST way is to just use www.picoodle.com. Use the "upload it" button on the first page to pick out the pic file, then the next page will give you the link to post on the board. really simple.

    Hey Shady, I'm a Warriors season tix holder (albeit in the nosebleeds this year). PM me if you wanna get some tix for Warriors games.
