    Thu 11 New Orleans Tickets TNT TNT 7:30 PM
    Sat 13 Memphis Tickets 8:30 PM
    Mon 15 Phoenix Tickets TNT TNT 7:30 PM
    Fri 19 at Golden State Tickets ESPN 10:30 PM
    Sun 21 at Sacramento Tickets ESPN 7:30 PM


    We should win at least of these games. If we can go 4-1, I will be thrilled. If we beat the Kings, Bill Walton and I will both cream in our pants!

    We could win 3 of those maybe 4, at least they are very winnable IMHO.

    I doubt Yao cares or even knows which games are nationally televised.

    good observation. somehow rockets rarely won on TNT. I have to give credit to Bill Walton for this.

    He knows. And I bet that he gets up more often for nationally televised games.

    The reason why we always win games on ESPN? That's easy. Walton is always there and Yao usually gives 100% effort in front of Bill.

    I guess what happens if Walton is Rockets' coach? I guess that we will just see a superman in Yao. People will stop questioning about his consistency.:p

    TNT should hire Walton? Heck, if Bill's presence makes Yao Ming play better, the Rockets should hire him :)

    Actually he'd be better than Cooper every day of the week . . . Imagine Walton and Murphy together . . . :eek:

    Ever since last Wednesday, I have been able to watch Rox on TV every single game. Being a transplanted Houstonian in LA, this is no small feat.

    I am 3 and 1 so far and if we can go 3 and 1 in the next four, I'd be ecstatic. :D

    Not that I am complaining, but are more Rox games on national TV this year?

    Darn, the game I care most, Grizz, is not televised on national TV. This is a must win!!! We got to make a statement on the Grizz. Cato, beat Gasol up just like everyone else tries to do to Yao. Yao, break their wrists if they dare to block, throw it down.

    heh...

    remember last year before the Crew cracked down?

    3 out of 4 threads were about Yao.

    Does Yao wear boxers or briefs?
    What did YAo have for dinner last night?
    Did Yao burp before the game?
    Does Yao need a american girl?
    Who is Yao's girlfriend?
    Here are pictures of Yaos gf.
    yadda yadda Yao yadda yadda
    Yao yo Yao yo Yao yadda yadda.

    ad nauseum....

    EDIT: cannoner...if you are a good boy..Ill send ya a link to the bittorrent for it..;)

    um huh, I remember a thread about Yao called "Yao's girlfriend". Some 10 pages of text (ok, ok, I have the screen fonts set at "largest") of a fantasy story about some female Yao fan who had a crush on Yao. That was a classic!

    Watching the game is much less entertaining if we already know the results

    R2K, why don't you be a super nice guy and set up a streaming feed of the game live ^_^

    A Rockets fan in CA can always dream, can't he?
