    Man... Words would not describe how dissapointed I would be.. I would probably stop watching basketball for awhile... It would take the Rockets at least 5 years to recover from this loss and by then, alot of the players on this team will be too old to contribute...

    That came out wrong I think..:confused:

    I'm a Ming fan right now cause he's a Houston Rocket, but if he doesn't join the Rockets, I could care less what happens to his career afterwords although I'd wish him the best.

    I'd still be really stoked about this season! We have a healthy Rice, Taylor, and steve which we didn't have last year. We also have a great player to be in Bostjan Nachbar. Also a buffed up taller Eddie Griffin. Man I can't wait for this season to start!!

    You just got me all excited! :D

    I'd be just as stoked. The reason being is because Griff is ready to kick ass and take names at the center position. Boki is styling and european profiling. And some people call him Maurice...but he's still the gansta of luv. And Kenny Thomas is ready to whip the K-9 cops ass this time. So tell that bastid Bill Kennedy and his cronies to bring it on.

    Boycott Chinese Food for a year, or until he joins the team. (He WILL join the team)

    WWIII. Just my emotions! The CBA, The Shanghai Sharks and Officials,NT and Officials especially their Coach, should be exposed in World Wide Mass Media, for just what thay are.FIBA should put a ban upon the National Team from playing in International Games of any sort. PS. (after thaught) I would pray for a just resolution,no action.

    What I always do...enjoy the ROCKETS. To re-word a famous Buddhist phrase for these purposes:

    Before Yao, play defense, score points. After Yao, play defense, score points.

    Until there is a real reason to believe Yao won't be here, I'm not going to waste my energy worrying about it. If China refuses to let him go, we'll just cross that bridge when we get to it.

    We would do what George W. Bush would do...

    BOMB CHINA...

    "Just because it sounds cool."
    - Bush parody on Jay Leno's show

    Isn't that what the USA does for all their solutions? ...sigh... :rolleyes:

    Jeff,

    We're just bored...sigh...

    ....Hey, Jeff...I know you have connections with the comish. I'm sure you
    even refer to him as "Dave" Stern.

    Could you have him start the season a month earlier? I know you can do it!
    Thanks brah! We're counting on you! :D

    In all seriousness, I guess we would have to try and sign a free agent big man, until it can be all taken care of. He is no Yao Ming, but you might be able to get your hands on Pig Miller,:D

    Climb inside the walls of the Chinese Embassy and attempt to seek political asylum - may not make much sense but it'll be a parody on China policy and sure to make CNN/MSNBC ;)

    I hope you know we are on a global stage here (China). I don't think "nuking" our brethren in there would cool. Read Jeff's post. It says it all.
