    I thought about it but then I remembered today was the only day of the week I can get to Discount Tire. Had a bubble on the rear passenger tire and went ahead and got both rears replaced. Far more exciting than going to a bar!

    :D

    Plus I didn't even know who I was taking for sure until about 5:30 today. Had someone back out of their ticket (a.k.a. a dumbass).

    Thanks Dave! I had a great time. That was the loudest the Toyota Center has ever been, and ClutchFans was a big part of it.

    :confused:

    so what happened, they gave Dave a ball and brought him out to Center Court? I heard it was the largest group in the Toyota center...

    way to represent!

    I took it down because it had been about 20 minutes since upload and still wasn't playing. I just uploaded it again so go back and see if it works. I'm just going to edit it into the original post.

    About 3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter Dave went downstairs or wherever he went. We saw him come out the tunnel, and we chanted for him, and shouted, and cheered.

    We chanted his user name, Dave2000 CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP, DAVE2000 CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP.

    I forgot what they said but Dave got an autographed ball signed by Shane.

    Dave let us touch it like Hakeem let OT and the gang hold up the MVP award.

    This was late in the 3rd, up until the end of the 3rd, and (I believe) it was these plays...

    - Fisher's offensive foul
    - Tracy gets fouled
    - Rafer hits a 3
    - Deron Williams misses, we get the rebound
    - Tracy blasts a 3 in Giricek's face
    - Dikembe gets a block
    - Luther misses the layup (that he didn't get off in time anyway)

    First off, its my pleasure, I couldn't have done this without everybody's cooperation.

    OMG, everybody standing up the whole game was TOTALLY unexpected from me. I didn't force it, if anything I just wanted you to respect the people behind you so they could see, but everybody just stood up the whole game. That alone put a tear in my face.

    This has to be one of the best experiences ever. Everybody from family, co-workers, people I've meet on here, hell, kgoodman brought someone I knew from elementary/middle school that was TOTAL coincidental, was there. Having The_Yoyo fly down, my uncle calling me Saturday morning to see if I had an extra ticket for him to drive from San Antonio and make it for the game, all of that made it worth it.

    Be on the look out for Game 5, if necessary of course :p or a Dallas game, cause its going to be FREAKING ON!!!

    As for pics, i didn't take much, I was too into the game, but Omega, and a few others took plenty, so I hope they share :)

    Here are the ones I took

    with my cousins

    my precious :)

    awesome to meet everybody, sorry I didn't come up to you since I was pretty late getting there and was taking care of my uncle and cousins that were with me. Again, thanks for making this one of the best times I've had at the Toyota Center, and to the next game we go :)

    sorry guys, me and heypee stopped by to visit with the Rowdies during halftime, and as we were there, the Rockets gained the lead and were kicking butt, so being the superstitious guys we are.....we HAD to stay.

    and it worked....we never lost the lead again afterwards.

    my apologies , Im sure yall can understand. ;)

    and to reiterate...Dave...you are the MVP of this season, many many thanks for everything you have done for me and the rest of this community...you are a helluva guy, and a great fan.
