    Or lack thereof i should say. I dont live in houston, but i am shocked to see the arena is only 1/4 full right now. Is the crowd late arrivving ? Are the ticket prices outrageous ? Or do houstonians not care? They just showed part of the atlanta game ,and it looks like they are having the same prob.

    Atlanta's always had that problem. Even when they make the playoffs. As for the Rockets, the arena was fairly "un-full" at tip-off. Reminded me a lot of the the Laker crowd. I just looked up the attendance : 15650, so apparently people ended up getting there after all. Wasn't the game on about 30 minutes earlier than usual? That may have had something to do with it... not sure.

    Last night's crowd was actually pretty good, but late arriving due to the 7.00 start (TBS broadcast requirement). It was the fullest weeknight game I've seen it in recent memory, so under the circumstances I was impressed.
