What a long weekend this turned out to be. With the recent 4-6 inches of snow our area got back on Saturday, it was looking likely I would not make it to this game. When it was all said and done, I did find out that the main roads were cleared yesterday afternoon, and I was able to make it down to Fort Wayne again to do my 2nd NBA D-League game of the season.
Yesterday the Mad Ants were at home to face the Anaheim Arsenal. This is the final Mad Ants home game for the month of January as after this home game they played last night, I found out they go on a one month road trip. So their next home game will not be until sometime in February. Last night not only brought out the Mad Ants, but it turns out that it was Milwaukee Bucks Affiliate Night. So I also ended up seeing all the Milwaukee Bucks entertainment acts that made the long drive to this game and after the game, I was able to snag a t-shirt and a Bucks mini ball out of a whole bunch they gave away at this game here.
Alright here are my results from the D-League game last night in Fort Wayne,IN:
NBDL: Anaheim Arsenal @ Fort Wayne Mad Ants 1/11/09
Arsenal
Tierre Brown 4 cards (1 for kjamidon)
James White 8 cards (1 for kjamidon, 1 for Xavier13)
Sam Vincent 15/15 cards!!! (3 for kjamidon, 2 for Stupidstar of NYC)
Paul Mokeski 9 cards (1 for kjamidon, 1 for Stupidstar of NYC)
I could of had Kedrick Brown again but he was taking a very very long time to come out after the game and if I waited for Brown again, I probably could of got locked in the Coliseum easily lol. This was not a very big deal to me as I got Kedrick Brown on some cards last season. That was all I got from Anaheim on this night.
Mad Ants
(Got a few more players and all the coaches on a team ball I continued from last week. Not going to try to name them all at this time but I might put it up later when I can get around to it.)
Ron Howard 1 8x10 pic of me with Howard (I gave him one to keep as he remembered me from Fort Wayne last season. The pic I got with Howard that I gave to him was when he was with the Bucks back in the preseason trying to make the team. Had a conversation with him after the game. I hope he makes it back into the NBA this season. He has been playing really well down there for the Mad Ants.)
Jaren Jackson 7/7 cards, 1 1999 NBA Champs Video Cover (3 for kjamidon)
That was all I got from the Mad Ants on this night.
If I waited around any longer for Kedrick Brown, I would of been the very very last car out of the Coliseum parking lot honestly lol. With all the waiting around that I did after the game, I was the 3rd to last car out of the lot and lucky that they probably did not lock me into the parking lot lol. It did start snowing quite a bit in Fort Wayne so I wanted to get out of there before the snowfall picked up.
That is all I have to share for now. Thanks alot for looking!!!
Next up for me: With weather permitting, a 50% chance I get to do the Charlotte Bobcats tommorow. Otherwise I get to do the New Orleans Hornets late at the end of the week and possibly another event with all the events that will be going on in the Detroit area this weekend...
