For those of you who read Coughing up Nuggets last year you are already familiar with this type of game. For those of you who didn't, basically if you try and make it to every Warriors home game inevitably you will have to be sick at one. Last year it was the Nuggets this year it was the Rockets. Now before I make my self sound like a super-fan 99 over here. I did in fact miss my first home game this season. It was the Bucks game on Wednesday. For that one I was in a NyQuil induced coma status sick state. Anyway by the time Friday came around I was feeling a little better and made my way to the Roarcle with tissues in tow. I got to the game a little late due to traffic and my post medicine head lolly gagging. The place was packed as is normal for a Friday game especially aganist T-Mac and Yao's Rockets. Not like it mattered much in the end but Houston was without Artest due to injury. Speaking of injury we had Maggette out still with that Hamstring. Also Turiaf and Wright were sidelined with the same funk that had me missing work. 
We never could really get out of the hole the entire night. At one point we took a one point lead. But for the most part the Rockets maintained a 10 to 20 point lead all night. The up side of a blowout is fans tend to leave early. This worked out good for me as I was able to move down to the lower level and upgrade my seats. Funny thing happened once I got down low though. I started streaming Live video on Twitter towards the end of the game. Then Franco the Hype man comes and sits next to me. He had his mic and everything so I got a little nervous but turns out his friend was few seats over. He ended up jumping in on the live video and gave a shout out to my wife who couldn't make the game. It was pretty funny but in the end the Warriors lost 119 to 108. Good thing it didn't go into over time to. I was almost out of tissues from sneezing and the runny nose. Anyway let me tell you I can't wait for Ellis to get back. I don't necessarily think it will turn around our season much. But at least it will be a more entertaining 25 win season. GO WARRIORS!
