    WOW! That's awesome! Can't blame the people, they want to see the underdog defeat the media loved and worshiped Lakers.

    I mean, to most people they are wondering who are these guys. No Yao, No Tmac......Scola? Landry?...shot?.......Wafer?....Brooks?....Ron Ron going crazy?

    Sounds like a great time for tv!

    it's also curiosity. if my team were not the Rockets and had no clue who and how the hell they are winning without Yao or Tmac, i would tune in myself. i am pretty sure basketball fans who saw the rockets for the first time this season were glued to their tv sets in amazement in game 6. i won't be surprised if game 7 breaks records.

    A Cinderella story is in the making. The Rockets will shock the world on Sunday!

    Hopefully, unlike in 2002 between the Kings and Lakers, there will be less chance for the league to have a poorly officiated game due to all the folks wanting to see how this team has been doing it. If you thought all the folks were asking questions after that 2002 game, imagine when you have an even bigger audience(only NBA fans were watching that, this series transcends the NBA) witness a horrible display by the officials. I'm hoping this can get us a fairly officiated game.

    Plus, if Ron Ron pulverizes Kobe no one wants to miss that.

    Yes we do! I'm living in Shanghai as an expat.
    and we get to watch 'illegal' cables and yes we watch ESPN!
    and yes we do watch LA vs Rockets!
