    Is Legends 21 and up, or can a young little 20 year old get in?

    tinman, u know since xm and sirius merged, they got rid of full court press. In fact, they don't have the nba channell anymore. I try to work less than 8 weeks a yr, it just happens this is one of the weeks. I do have directv and league pass in the rig i'll be in.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think age matters at Legend's as I've never seen them check an ID of anyone that didn't order alcohol.

    Just remember that Saturday's game is at the same time as the Longhorn game so you may find it difficult to catch the game in Atx. Might want to call in advance for that one.

    I'm in Austin but on the south side. Down by Slaughter. Anyone in that area watching the game Thursday night?

    Can someone post this? If it hasnt been posted already... Thanks in advance!

    Coach of the year: Rick Adelman, Houston Rockets

    The way Adelman steered the Rockets to a 22-game winning streak last season and got them focused on defense and teamwork was extraordinary, even through the loss of Yao Ming and the maladies of Tracy McGrady. This season, with the addition of Ron Artest, whom he already had in Sacramento, they've got a legitimate chance for greatness.

    Best defensive player: Ron Artest, Houston Rockets

    There is no tougher defender inside or outside than Artest, and he's back into "focused Ronnie" mode and knows full well he can gain extreme redemption by helping carry the Rockets deep into the playoffs. He is an exceptional talent who loses his way emotionally, but he'll give this defensive-oriented team an even stronger presence

    Most deteriorated player: Steve Francis, Houston Rockets

    Nobody has fallen harder and farther than Stevie Franchise, who has started only 93 games the past three seasons. He was bought out immediately by the Trail Blazers last year after the Zach Randolph trade. All looked sweet for him heading back to Houston shortly thereafter, but he couldn't get on the floor. Now they may let just him go.

    My understanding is that some of us will go to legends tomorrow and some of us will go to 3rd base on Thursday.

    I know they've done this in the past, but is this for sure for this season? Did anyone see the mil/chi game on league pass last night to make sure it works? Don't want to miss tip-off. :D

    it works, it doesn't show up on the guide as MIL/CHI, but flip through the league pass channels today and you'll see some games.

    It's in the bottom floor of the Holiday Inn on the SW corner of 183 & Mopaq. Follow the link for directions. Hope to see you there.

    Slaughter and Manchaca area here. I'll be catching the game at my place. I'm not sure of any places south that would have it. The Warehouse maybe?

    Wrong Legends. This one is a hotel sports bar. Not the booby variety.
