    I've never heard of that guy in my life. Is he a legit, well-known singer?

    I have to tell you, this was a very good game. I was second guessing my purchasing of my tickets due to Yao's absence. It turned out to be a excellent game. In my eyes, money well spent. I thought the new guys (Barry and Wesley) shot the ball okay. They are going to loosen up the double teams for Yao and McGrady. Also, those two guys hustle. I really enjoyed the game tonight. Next stop - Houston vs. Orlando

    yeah, great game and the fans were very loud too, first game @ Toyota for my wife and she did really enjoy it. (She was litlle disappoint it that Yao was out though)

    David Wesley played hard nose defense on Redd, man he was all over Redd, i think he play defense a lot better than JJ, hofefully this's a good trrade for us.
    Mo looked good too, shot the ball with more confident.
    T-mac, man this guy can create any shot from any where on the court if he wants it too
    Good game

    p.s That country singer was not very good..

    I have to admit, I was a littel disappointed Yao was out. It was a very good game though. Wesley can D up, and you know he can shoot lights out most nights. It looks like Mo is finally coming around. Tracy did he usual thing, man, he scored 17 points in the first quater. I thought he might go for 50; but, he didn't have to. Everyone else shot the ball well. It looks like this could be a turning point. GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!

    Was a good game and T-Mac can do whatever he wants....Barry shot the ball well, but wesley needs to do something about his jumper.....

    By the way, that country dude wasn't good at all. He spent the whole time drinking his bud light and yelling like he was ridin' his horsey......

    The things that the fans were using to make noise should be given out everygame - they were very effective :p

    Haha, Yeah, it was loud in there. I was watching the repeat game on Fox SW and everytime one of the Bucks shot a free throw, you could hear all that noise. Bill and VC had to talk louder during the free throws b/c of the noise. It was great. They should give out noise makers before the games.

    It wasn't the same guy they have had for the whole year? Or are you talking about from last year to this year?

    He's actually a friend of my fiancee's. He sometimes calls Aeros games too. I don't think it's a permanent change.

    That's too bad cuz I actually liked the new announcer. His voice was less annoying and I didn't have to hear that "Who's ball is it?" nonsense all night long.

    Hah, I thought T-Grey sounded different, he was actually good. Except it wasn't him. :p

    But anyway, I had fun yesterday. I couldn't find anyone to hand off the ticket to, and my little brother didn't want to spend 6 hours with family so I dragged him along with me. He had fun, took a few pics of TMac during the game. We snuck down to one of the corners, forget which section it was. I'm still planning my strategy on sneaking into the club levels. :p

    One of these days I'll get it timed just right. :p

    Spent like 50 bucks on food and stuff, jesus, lol.

    Got myself a chicken tender basket, pepsi, and my bro a jumbo dog, fries, and a coke. Then around the end of the 3rd we went and had icecream. My wallet is a lot lighter now :(, not to mention the 10 dollar parking.

    All the parkinglots I used to park at for 5 bucks were 10 for some reason, so, I ended up parking like right across the street from TC for 10 bucks. Not bad I guess.

    I think there free after 6. But yeah, there is plenty of free parking on La Branch and Polk. Just look a little and get there early. Also, they were doing face painting and rocket trivia for items (towels, glowsticks...) so its kinda cool to get there early. They had a moonwalk, a band and stuff. It was kinda fun. I didn't have to pay for parking this time b/c I had a parking pass for the tundra garage, but I usually go down Polk St. or park right there in front of some park on La Branch and walk some. Its better than paying 10 - 20 dollars. :D :D

    Oh, I'm usually there way before gametime and find a meter space. I was running late though and didn't get there til just before. Anyone know what the attendance was? It looked a lot more full that I would have expected for a New Year's game.
