    Rox win! I'll be there.. hope Novak gets in so I can wave my jersey or something. And b/c it'd mean we're blowing em out ;)

    Slightly scared cause Arenas has been *insane* at home this year.

    We haven't done well in back to back games and the Wizards are playing well. This will be a good test for the team. Go Rockets! Pull out a win.

    Rockets win 99-91, Yao has first 40-20 game of season and T-Mac has first triple double

    Question: Do those radio links ever work? I tried them for two games in the past and had no luck. Just wondering if I should even bother tonight? Thanks guys.

    Yao has a huge game, rockets win by 6.

    The washington wizards are pretty good at home owning a 7-2 record. However, houston's great defensive performance of late should be able to prevent the wizards from improving to an 8-2 record at home. With T-mac and Yao only having to play 27 and 25 minutes respectively last game, they should be well rested and ready to go for tonight's game. Rockets win this one by 3. Final Score: Rox 90 - 87 Wiz.

    I would say either blowout win or close loss. I am not confident for the Rox, especialy on close game. Look on their 4th Q meltdown in the past.

    I think the game will go down to the wire. If Yao stays out of foul trouble, the Rockets will ride him in the 4th quarter and get the win.

    Rockets 83
    Wizards 82

    This game will be close but it's mostly rests on Arenas. If Gilbert goes off I don't see the Rockets winning. If Gilbert has a terrible shooting game, I don't see how the Wizards can win.

    Man, the Shanghai TV announcers are so much better than the CCTV ones. I think this goes to show the differences between Beijing and Shanghai media. Beijing is still far too bureaucratic and controlled by China's Ministry of Publicity (Propaganda). Shanghai, being further away and oriented toward international trends, tends to be more market-driven.

    Guangdong, being historically the furthest from Beijing, is even more independent, although they are oriented toward Hong Kong. They don't even bother speaking in Mandarin, but in Cantonese. Those crazy southerners (j/k)!

    I'll wait and see, but I suspect that SHTV will also have better production values than CCTV5.

    Alston's shooting selection is poor.

    Clutchfans needs to do some sort of petition to get better quality games by FSN and channel 51... I can't see anything and its all fuzzy.
