    Or anyone been to the Heat Arena recently?

    Trying to figure out if I bought good tickets. Looks like I bought floor seats with some kind of lounge access lol. Very spontaneous decision to go, I didn't have it on the radar for tonight.

    I'll try to upload some photos and videos.

    Hope you enjoyed yourself ATW!

    Lord knows you at least had a much better time than attending a home game in the same seats.

    On League Pass I caught glimpse of an absolute 10/10 in the lower sections - I hope you enjoyed your surroundings to ease the pain of being a Rockets fan.

    Thanks - yes, spotted a few nice ones. I was on the opposite side of the Rockets bench, so I can't provide a DD style meme. Pretty decent seats, bought them on StubHub just a few hours before, I didn't even use the lounge and food and drinks that were included (AA Lounge South or something).

    A few observations:

    Alpi and Bari are the same height; Kaminsky is a bit taller.

    Jabari talks A LOT all game long, not only with his teammates, but also with opposing players.

    Jalen and Alpi communicate a lot with each other

    Our team is quite athletic, certainly not less so than the Heat.

    It was really nice to go to a game in person after a long time - atmosphere was great

    Bit strange to go to a game alone, but I kind of befriended three Heat fans who were sitting next to me. They had tons of drinks.

    Silas totally sucks. Abdelfattah seemed most active during timeouts. The only time Silas got agitated was when he wanted to take out Alpi and Jalen in the last seconds before halftime, to put Garuba and Nix in.

    Nix sucks.

    Did not see your thread. I got row 11 behind the Rockets bench. Can post some of my pics too.

    Did not know someone else was around. Not a lot of Rockets fans in general, but had good company too. Not sure if family and friends for players were around but I wasn’t the only one clapping for our guys

    Yes, I was half an hour late for the game because of traffic. Took the Brightline train back. Better.

    Say hello to Dexter, say we have a part time job for him in Houston!
    And if he can find it in his heart to do us a favor....

    I can't wait for the day that Nix is cut from this team. Great seats.
