...was the battle cry last night. Every time we saw a Spurs jersey, we chanted and jeered the wearer's unfortunate choice of teams to root for. As usual, we had our normal crew of 30 or so chanting, yelling, and waving. The big difference was that this was for the Spurs, not the Bucks.
Unfortunately, we didn't see most of the Spurs starters as they played in Miami the night before and Duncan, Parker, Bowen, and Ginobili were not even in the arena. Five of the Rockets players scored in double figures, led by Yao Ming with 24 points in his 32 minutes of action. Yao was also a monster on the glass with 10 rebounds while TMac, Novak, and Battier each collected 6 boards. Novak had what was for him a sub-par night from distance, going 3-7 for 42%. As you would guess, we outclassed the Spurs second unit pretty much from the start and ended up beating them by 21.
The Red Rowdies were LOUD tonight. One thing to listen for if you are watching the game on TV is when Shane Battier has a hustle play or scores. We do our "Who's your daddy? BATTIER" chant and you can make it out pretty easily on the television. I went back to the tape (DVR actually) last night and was pleasently surprised at how noticable we were on the broadcast.
We also have a tradition we are starting with a "Rowdies Romp" through the lower and upper levels of the Toyota Center starting at 7 p.m. nightly. We walk through the concourse chanting, passing out high fives, and generally trying to increase the excitement in the arena. If you like, you are more than welcome to join us for our pre-game romp through the arena. If you see us coming by, feel free to join the parade and help us get the crowd PUMPED!!!
