    Baqui,

    There is a good site I use called "photobucket.com", use it to upload your images and then just cut and paste the IMG link.

    I can do it for you if you prefer, so you can just e-mail me the pics at "sky-city-sports@sbcglobal.net"

    Yeah that what some Mavs fans would respond with. :rolleyes: That has absolutely nothing to do with basketball or this series. As basketball franchises not even Mavs fans can argue that the Rockets have more history and a lot more success.

    I was one of the people at IHOP with the rockets game day ball crew shirt. We sat at the table behind you at IHOP (there were four of us).

    Anyways, I have never felt so dejected while coming back from a Rockets game. Some friends and I drove up from Austin for the game and as soon as we stepped on the arena premesis, we knew we were in for it. I was wearing a rockets shirt with a HUGE R on the front, so as soon as people saw that, they started heckling me. Fans booed me and followed me until I stepped in to the arena. That wasn't even the worst part.

    AFTER THE GAME, I got 10 times the dose I received while walking in. I couldn't really do anything because after all, like sland said, we lost by 40. Man I heard all kind of crap, and even some cuss words I've never heard before. Some guy was cussing me out in Spanish!! Some people were offering to buy me Mavs jerseys, to drive me back home, to pay for my ticket, etc... The amount of crap I got was just amazing.

    I did get a couple autographs: Deke and Bowen. It was so awesome hearing Deke talk in real life; his voice is even more screwed up. He was a genuinely nice guy and signed a bunch of autographs for people. I think he even took a couple pics. Bowen didn't talk to anyone though.

    Oh yeah, AAA is freaking NICE! I had seats right behind the goal so I thought I would have a really bad view a la Toyota Center, but AAA does not have those huge screens blocking the view, which made the place seem a whole lot bigger. We were the only Rockets fans sitting in our section, but we were in the very top row, so I guess people were too lazy to turn around to mock us.

    I have some game 7 pics uploaded on Yahoo Photos. The link is at the bottom of the post. I will be adding more later on when I can get my hands on the pictures from my friends cameras.

    LOL, what a small world! What are the odds that two groups of Rockets fans would stop at the same IHOP in the middle of nowhere 60 miles from Dallas??

    Oh, and didn't that waitress suck? She took forever to bring us our check...and I'm still waiting on my water!! :D

    Just got back. That was me at the game, feelin goooooooooood after tens of vodka/sodas at Dicks Last Resort where we met up with several Rocket fans from Austin. These were taken before the game started, so we were still in very good, ROWDY, spirits.

    Unbelievable. I cant believe my rox let me down...embarrassed...me like that. I was in section 325 with my bro.

    Rocket Brothers, even though we were getting our asses kicked all game, I stood toe to toe with every yelling mav fan in there. We were situated right behind thier hanging banners. I mocked their weak banners continuously, pointing at the plaque around my neck and laughing. I was getting flipped off, told to F*** off, etc. I didnt back down, or sit down.

    By the end of the 3rd quarter, my voice was gone....and so were we. I didnt go quietly folks, not like our rockets did.

    I'd do it again, and i will, because we'll be back.

    If we had only won....it wouldve have been so awesome, i might have been killed, lol.

    Still love ya Rockets! even though im fumin mad at ya.

    I was also at the game. Section 329 Row B. The team looked out of sinc and tired. I hate that we lost. AA is a great arena. The Jack Daniels Club is very nice. I heard several bad comments lazy Eye & T-Mac Sucks. However, there were a few better manner fans. Our player introductions are far better. Their timeout segments are not as good as Rockets. What is with the cartoon Mark Cuban? Animated Avery dancing is very, very scary. If you were there, then you know what I mean.

    We still had a great season. We remade our whole roster, and we had 51 Wins this year. T-Mac was upset after the game. T-Mac, Yao and some moves in the offseason can make it a great season for '06. :D

    The Mavericks fans in our section (311) were actually pretty nice. I mean, here I am in a T-Mac jersey with 2 friends, and we are getting drilled, and they really weren't giving me that much grief. They had a few Houston sucks chants (I replaced Houston with your mother)...but that was about it.

    It did suck to get killed like that though....

    You guys are brave. I salute you. Walking out of game 5 with my wife was hard enough. I almost had two drunk guys try and fight me. If my wife wouldn't have been there, and had I been with some of my friends.. well, let's just say I'm better off having had my wife there.

    I just kept saying (and taking comfort-even still-in) this,

    "That's okay, Dallas... anything the Mavs do the ROCKETS did it FIRST!"


    That usually hushed them up.;)
