    I was thinking if the Rockets Marketing dept. can put together a few video clips for the following moments and keep playing them on the big screen in front of the fans at before the tip-off or before the third quarter starts:
    1. How three or four lakers confronted and intimated Louis;
    2. How Shane got his bloody face;
    3. How Kobe kneed and elbowed Shane;
    4. How Kobe elbowed Ron and how the ref ignored and give him a foul and an ejection;
    5 and last. Yao saying "I wanna go back there" in the tunnel.

    Play them in the above sequence, time and time again!

    I think that will get the crowed really excited and lead them into the game!

    The organization needs to seriously look at nba basketball not as simply a sports. They need to know how to market themselves and get their customers excited too.

    I think its illegal to show any footage of a hard foul or anything during pre-game etc.

    how do I know? because the lakers cried about it during the regular season in Portland when they played @ the Rose Garden and the blazers replayed the footage of ariza's hard foul on Fernandez before the game during the intros and all to incite the crowd.


    the blood footage of shane, the footage of yao going back in thats fine to show i would say.

    Yeah, it's gonna be tough to really get the crowd into this series.

    If the crowd can't get into the next game... then they are some pathetic fans.

    There is gonna be so much pent up frustration ...I wouldn't be surprised to see Laker/Rocket fans get into fights BEFORE the game even starts.

    There won't be ANY trouble getting the crowd into this game.

    Anybody that is r****ded enough to wear yellow and purple to the game better watch out. The fans are even more pissed than Artest.

    I am so proud of these Rockets we have now. I've never been so proud of them even it was a loss last night. They definitely wetted some pants of the purple and gold color last night.

    BTW, Yao needs to tough it up a bit when his teammates were confronted or taunted or hurt on purpose by the opponents.

    For all those fortunate enough to go to game 3,4. Please do whatever necessary to distract, taunt, boo, scream and support our team on. We need you guys to make sure our homecourt is protected.

    I think that we can throw their own quotes back at them.

    Hell, play their own press conference audio back over the video so all understand that these were not in fact fouls.

    How could they claim that we were doing anything other than trying to correct the incorrect perception among Houston fans that a foul had been committed? /snickers

    There were several r****ded fans showing up to game 22 of the streak last year. They even left the game popping their jerseys like they had won. They had several Rowdies in their face . . . buhlee dat . . .

    Thanks for the video. How does Kobe say he was just jocking for position? That is BS. Clearly was intentional. Add that to the knee he threw against Battier in Game 1 and IMO it clearly warrants a suspension. No place for cheap shots like that in basketball. None.
