I woke up thinking about last night's game, I been listening to 790 all morning at work (only station i have access to on the internet), been on cluthfans, insidehoops, all day reading forums, I haven't done much work at all....can't stop thinking about tommorrow night...kinda weird isn't it? I'm just a fan, I have nothing to do with the game, i dont personally know any of the Houston rockets, nothing the Lakers did have any personal effect on me, yet I'm reacting as if my family just got punked yesterday and i want revenge, blood...my mind has been on rockets and lakers all day...anyone else feeling this way today??

If you posted this in the GARM you'd get a bunch of yes answers including myself. But here... all these losers are thinking about is Star Trek.
I feel you, man. Normally, I'm pretty level-headed about sports, and I don't let it completely consume my daily life. I still post on Clutchfans, and I am definitely WAY more into it than a casual person, but it's not the only thing I'm interested in. But yesterday's game got me SO pumped up for tomorrow night that it really is all I can think of for some reason. It might be the excitement of finally reaching a level in the playoffs we haven't been to in 12 years, or it might just be the intensity with which this series is being played, but I honestly feel like this group of Rockets is something special, and I want to be immersed in every second of it. I LOVE IT!
Nothing you can do about it except move on, hope the Rockets win the next game, and hope Hobee and Dicksher are suspended.
I am the same way. I have just been talking to my Laker friends and thinking about the game tomorrow night even though I have a Constitutional Law final tomorrow. I can't freaking focus on my studying. I keep watching ESPN and listening to the radio.
I was pissed watching the game with some friends, but now I'm just like let's take this back to Toyota Center and get this **** done. I'd want blood like everyone else except for the fact that Fisher's punk ass is gone for game 3, so I don't see any need to send any messages to the other team except just play our asses off. What you might do with Kobe is give him a little bit of a hard foul if he gets too cocky and by hard foul, I mean a table leg through the abdomen.
Everywhere Ive been today Ive heard people talking about the game. Walmart Gas station Financial aid office Basketball court(duh) etc
It totally consumed me until I got to work and was buried. I'm leaving in a few minutes and will probably feel the sting all the way home.
i have been going at it with a co-worker who is a Laker fan all day long talking trash over IM and in person. a lot of lakers fans are of the opinion that the only reason we won game 1 is because kobe was ill. it's up to the rockets to prove them right or wrong. it's all up to the rockets now to come out and take care of business.
ACtually, no. I talked about it some at work today, but remember this- the Rockets needed to take one game on the road. Each game that passes on the road without a win, the pressure mounts. However, the Rox took game one, so they got the split they needed, and the ONE game they needed to take on the road. Goal accomplished. If they aren't able to take the next two at home? Well, optimally, we'd win at least one of them, meaning it's 2-2 going back to LA where we now know we can win. Plus, game 3 will be a Laker team without Fisher. He has issues on D vs. Brooks, but he's probably the biggest shooting threat of the point guards. So, I was proud of the way we came back, disappointed in the second half meltdown, but still cautiously optimistic right now. I'll know a lot more about how I feel after tomorrow night's game. Not too worried yet.
I expected a loss last night, so I'm not really thinking too much of that game. As far as the extra stuff goes, the only thing I was really worried about was the Von Wafer situation. Now that that is settled, I'm good and pumped for game 3. I can't stop thinking about Friday night.. GO ROCKETS!
I think most Rockets fans woke up this morning pissed. I was super pissed for a lot of the day, then I started thinking about Friday. I know i'm going to wake up with a BIG smile on my face Saturday morning, so that cheered me up.
