    I live just north of Philly, so I went to the Rockets/Nets game last night. I got great tickets, right behind the basket that the Rockets were warming up at before the game. I got 6 autographs. They were from Eddie Griffin, TMo, Oscar Torres, Jason Collier, Kenny Thomas and Murph. I got to talk with Griffin and he said that he lived like 15 minutes from the arena. I also got a take a picture with him. I also got to take a picture with Collier. After Calvin Murphy signed an autograph for me, he was joking around about the mini- ball that I had to get autographs on. It was like a mini-ball specifically made for autographs. I wanted a full size one but the store I went to was sold out of them. Murph said 'what the heck is this? You are cheap man (just joking around; I don't want you guys thinking he's cheap". He said some other stuff but I don't remember. I also got to see Wink run on the court for warmups and then he left, cause of migraines. He looked terrible. I sat near the tunell thing were the players come out of, so a couple of times in the 3rd and fourth quarter, Wink came to the end of it and watched the game for a while, in his street clothes. He looked aweful. He look miserable. I think these migraines of his are a major problem. I'll post some of the pictures from the game when I get them developed.

    Looking forward to seeing those pictures. Hope it is nothing serious with Steve and they can clear it up.

    I was at the Jersey game also. I sat in section 104. There were many Rockets fans there. There were about 10 to 15 rockets fans in my section alone.

    I think I know who you are. I think you sat 2 or 3 rows behind me. Were you with a young lady and two other guys? I actually got the tickets from one of the Rockets staff so I do not know the seats. I actually think Cato forked over the cash for the tickets. Anyways, I was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans. I was with 3 other people(1 young lady, 2 other guys 1 was an asian guy)

    Yea I saw you guys. That was us! Small world.

    Continental Arena is one of the few arenas that make the visiting team PAY for their tickets. So your tickets were PAID for. $65 a piece.

    Our section was all Rockets fans or at least tickets that were paid for by Rocket personnel.
