    What the hell the whole Toyota center looks empty!

    Nice move by the Rockets for your friend though.

    It was not a packed house last night for sure, but that picture was taken with less than a minute left in the fourth and many fans had left by then.

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes... I'm definitely passing this thread along to his family.

    You guys must have been a few rows behind me in 104.

    That's pretty cool that for one night the organization made your friend feel special as they tried to let him have an opportunity to try and forget the horrible illness he is dealing with just for those few hours.

    I tell this on a constant basis to the front office people I know that they run the best sports organization in town and it's not even close.

    Very nice! Glad that he and his daughter were able to enjoy a night when the Rockets took care of business too!

    Kudos to the Rox... very cool gesture.

    Good luck to your friend in his medical battle. Hopefully he will get some more good news to combat all the bad news!

    Best wishes to your friend. It's always wonderful when something like this happens to folks who deserve it. I bet your friend's daughter had a night she will never forget. Great gesture by a great organization.

    Leroy Fountain is the best ticket rep they have! The Rockets are a class org. That's why I keep coming back for more season tickets!
