Rox/Lakers draws largest espn audience ever for bball game

Indeed, and they stayed tuned in. Must have liked what they saw!

 

All my spurs and mavs friends currently have a man crush on shane battier and are in love w/ us. hahaha.. and all my denver friends. It's great to get love from other fans.

 

Great news for the Rockets, now they can sign a wealth of free-agents in 2010 I'm so happy that the Rockets will be a contender next year because they have found the formula. Beat LA!!! Beat LA!!!

 

Where did you get your source from?

 

I think its cuz everyone wants to see an underdog upset a good team

 

It's kind of like way back in the early 90s when the Denver Nuggets with Mutombo beat the SuperSonics (who were heavily favored), if I recall correctly (8th seeded beats 1st seeded, in that case). Everyone was fired up about it. And maybe Deke's mojo will transfer from then to now for a similar outcome...

And yes...like what the Warriors did to the Mavs more recently.

All good stuff to those with no strong ties to either team and who want to see the anointed favorites fall to a team with grit and determination.

 

LOL, how long have you been a Rox fan? Forbes ranks him as the best owner, SI as the third best.

Your mind is warped.

 

Why? To see Yao sitting on the bench in a suit?[/QUOTE]



Hey, you really hurt and insulted Chinese fans of ROX........

Yes,because of Yao, we watch every ROX game,but we also like the other players in the team,

 

Where Amazing (ratings) Happen!

 

Your mind is warped 2

Les is completely a biz man, not like Cuban

I started to love NBA since Yao came to Houston. You dont know how much Yao have been bring to NBA. And i think most of Americans don't either

 

Does T-Mac count as 23,000,000 viewers?

 

Nice - Thats NBA - Where Amazing happens

 

That just goes to show you there are a lot more Rockets fan outside the U.S
than within.

It's really sad to see those empty seats in Toyota Center and people
leaving when there is still basketball to play.

On the other hand, 250 million people in China got up early in the morning just to catch the Rockets game.

Look in the mirror to see who are the real fans are.

 

What does this even mean when speaking "Les is cheap?"

I'm glad YAO brought so many fans over, no doubt. Your argument about Les being cheap is laughable though. It doesn't even make sense in this thread, nor any other as a matter of fact.

BTW- How many championships has Cuban won? Les?

Oh, that's right. You just became a fan. Learn some Rockets history before typing another response. If it takes months, that's great.

Knowledge, it's a great thing to behold.

 

What does the sentence mean?

it does NOT take months for me to learn a new word, just a second

 

Haha, you're a true fan, but I'm not sure that helps. From what I know, Nielsen doesn't collect their viewing information through all television sets. Instead, they survey a select number of households which are given electronic devices to measure their viewing habits.

 

plus it's your knowledge to other people

 

Clueless.

There's your second. Good job!

 

does that include ppl depend on R2K as well??

 

I'm telling you guys I am not surprised. What is happening here is big. You are talking about a little team with no stars - undersized, undertalented, challenging the big bad nasty top team in the world.

That isn't suppose to happen. That doesn't happen in sports.

So when it does, people tune in. Everyone wants to see the gritty underdog beat out the talented favorite. It's human nature. It's drama. And it's not even on TNT!
