    Oct 8 @ Memphis
    Oct 15 vs San Antonio
    Oct 17 @ Phoenix
    Oct 18 vs Portland
    Oct 20 vs Orlando
    Oct 23 @ San Antonio
    Oct 24 vs Philadelpia

    A lot of games late in the preseason schedule - I think it's probably intentional so that Ming can get in camp and see action in as many preseason games as possible before the season starts. Most other teams have player 3-4 games by the time the Rockets play their second.

    Darn it. I was hoping that we could play the Sixers in Philly so I could go to the game. Darn. Yao's going to light Memphis up. Yao's going to be able to go against Robinson and Duncan twice. That should be interesting.

    Does this mean I have to wait until October just to watch meaningless pre-season games! With all the buzz this summer, it seemed as if we were going to start next week. At least we have the Houston Texans to carry us over until the real season starts. I can't wait to see Yao tear it up!:D

    Damn! I was SO hoping the Rockets would come to Seattle for a preseason game, since I'm going to miss the first few weeks of the regular season (going to Oz!).

    Isn't Yao supposed to be in camp the 14th or 15th? I doubt he'll even play SA.

    The basketball final in Asian Games is at Oct. 14. If China gets into the final ( almost certain ), then the earliest date Ming can leave for USA is Oct. 14/15. BTW, the asian games is held in S. Korea.

    14th Asian Games

    of course he will, we have to sign him first but he pretty much is. See how long it took to get EG last year. Wait til the 15th of August then we will get him...or was it the 18th. i don't remeber. But i think we will take care of Steve first.
