Clutch, please feel free to edit this post with whatever links/info you usually add. The game is only being showed locally, but there is good news for us out of towners. NBA.com had a free preview of NBA Inside Ticket and Audio League Pass, including live audio from preseason games. Go to www.nba.com and click Listen under the Heat/Rockets scoreboard. A Javascript window will pop up with instructions.
no one has said that League Pass has preseason...I dont believe they did last year either. and it is on KNWS (Channle51)(Channel 2 on TW Cable) at 7:30. game time chat is at #clutchcity(according to the chat page)...join us there for pbp.
yea...mine does too. but Rockets.com has it listed as KNWS(51) for local TV...so I am gonna assume that the mistake is in the listings.
Praise the Mighty One...When I saw Celebrity Justice on the TV listing I was about to have an emotional breakdown!
lets match up the teams: yao - shaq = advantage heat. shaq is in MVP shape. howard - haslem = no contest. haslem is only an energy guy. tmac - butler = jj - jones = jones is slightly better overall. ward - wade = i would give the heat a slight advantage in the starting line-up. now for the bench: deke - doleac = deke wins this one for us. mo - allen = no contest here. boki - person = the vet wins here. gaines - wright = toss-up lue - damon = close but damon wins it. we dominate the bench witch should help overcome the slight edge the heat have in the starting line-up. with both van-gundy's going heat-to-head i give the advantage to the one with more experiance...jeff! should be a close game but we will pull away in the second half when the bench gets more PT.
So about them Rockets.... Seeing as this game means nothing, I hope all the important Rockets have a safe game with no serious injuries.
84-78 Rockets WIN! Yao- 9 pts, 7 rebs, 1 blk (20 mins) Tmac- 11 pts, 3 rebs, 2 assis (21 mins) Shaq- 12 pts, 6 rebs, 2 blks (22 mins)
strange.. i am in LA and i called my cable provider. They said NBA League Pass does not start until Nov 2nd. =(
