    First off, Mobley completely shut down Iverson. Ivy shot 4-23 (ouch). Second off, I got Steve Francis' autograph on Slam Magazine, where he is wearing a retro Rockets jersey next to Ming. I also got Mobley, Rice, Posey, Hawkins, and Morris' autographs. I almost got Yao. I was lucky to get Francis though, cause I had a good spot by the tunnel where they came out, which was packed, but the people who had seats where I was showed up so I had to move down to a more crowded spot, and when Francis was signing, I couldn't hand my mag to him, cause there were so many people in front of me, so my dad yelled for me to give it to him, he was at the top of the tunnel, and Francis was about to stop signing, when my dad said "could you please sign this for my son" and Franchise looked up at him and then signed it. It was pretty awesome. The game was great too. The Rockets were up 1 at the end of the first, but were getting creamed in the second. Franchise had a pretty nice oop in the first quarter. I went crazy. But the Rockets cut the lead to 1 at the end of the 3rd quarter, and blew the Sixers out in the 4th. I had a great time. I also saw one of my friends there, and sat with him and a group of Chinese people he was with (my friend's Chinese). I also went to the Phillies home opener before the Sixers game (the Phills got rocked, but the pre game stuff was cool). I will post the pictures I took from the Rockets game in a few days.

    Yao signed like 10 autographs and the walked into the locker room. The Magic arena is aight. I was at the Magic-Lakers game a while back, cause I was on vacation in Disney World. My fondest memory from that trip was when I went to the bathroom, was in the turminal thing in the upper level, and too cheerleaders were right by the steps. :)

    man, yo'll r lucky, we can't even get close to the tunnel here in houston, i went to 3 games this season, and never had a chance to have my magazine signed. down here, only season ticket holder can get a chance to get close to the players.

    hope it will be better next year in the new arena.
