    No - of course he will raise his voice so the players will hear it... but they huddle around him.

    I've sat right behind the bench in a half-empty basketball stadium in Australia - it's hard enough to see the coach with all the players huddled around him, let alone here what he is saying!

    Now I imagine in a NBA stadium they put some music on or something don't they? If they do it'd make hearing - as stated, impossible in a half-empty, no music stadium - impossible!

    The bigger question that needs to be asked of people like you, the_ocean_is_bl, is this:

    Having seen so much evidence that makes trans. stories look false, what is it that makes you so desperate to believe him?

    Yao has no faults. The blame should be placed on the guards and no one else.

    Ok, you crazy kids with way too much time on your hands, I guess I have to respond (going to post this on both threads):

    1. Sixers game - never said I was behind the bench. I said I was within an "earshot" near the floor. See the post title? Couldn't hear everything, but like I said, the arena wasn't all that noisy because the Sixers were getting crushed, so yes, you could hear quite a bit, especially when you're directly across where the coaches are yelling.

    2. Toronto game - Nope you're right, there is no row B as I checked the Air Canada Ctr. Again, I went to the game with a friend who's a ticket broker, I asked him where precisely our seats were, and that's what he told me, so my apologies. We had 1 row of seats in front of us. I had no idea you folks would get so wound up for relaying coverage that wasn't positive for our beloved Rocks.

    Honestly, for you people who are skeptics answer me this question: Why would I have any motive to make any of this sh*t up? Isn't that a monumental waste of time? Actually, don't answer that question. Not interested. You're entitled to be suspicious.

    Seriously. I'm interested in hearing thoughts on my opinions on the game and relaying info. just like every other freak on this board. That's it.

    I like the Rockets. I only bash them when I get frustrated because they play like high schoolers or if they don't cover their spreads. :) But why the hell would I put on the friggin the billboard of all billboard a bunch of lies? What if JVG or Colin Pine or someone else within the Rocket org read these threads? Don't you think I'd be busted then?

    I guess the mistake with regards to the ticket caused all the questioning, and if I was psychotic with little else important in my life, I'd have a similar angry response.

    If it will make the people on this thread feel better and add a little less psychosis on this board, I'll track down the damn ticket and scan it for you all if it will make you go to your happy place.

    But the reality is, in the Toronto game, the Rockets failed because they didn't listen to JVG. Sorry you don' t like it. I'm pissed that they lost too, I guess, but don't kill the messenger. I really don't care if you believe me or not and not going to spend any more energy defending myself, but man, you guys need to chill out.

    Anyways, believe it or not, I don’t really care either way. Sorry for the disruption. I had no idea. See you on the next post. :)

    Peace
