    What confused me was the headliner - it said "with Rockets" so I assumed all events happened from our perspective.

    I think the thing i'm most pleased about is the Rockets finally have an elite player from the independent nation of Taiwan.

    Getting the Taiwan basketball market for the Rockets is going to be huge financially.

    He's still got his American passport. Name one Island nation that is good at BBall? Baseball is more popular

    If Lin plays the politics as "independent nation of Taiwan", I predict he will lose the 1.4 billion market right away.

    Politics is a dangerous game for him.

    Guy likes smoke screens as much as Morey.
    He won't say what he is really thinking..... I guess he wants the WHOLE PIE.

    Houston is getting so much publicity and national media coverage. Love it! Ha! Hopefully Linsanity delivers, but if not I'll just enjoy the ride while it last. Lin and Lamb all day. Haven't been this excited since sf3 and Yao.

    As a Hongkonger, I am with you on this one. Too bad we are struggling under the pathetic colonial rule by the People's Republic of China right now.

    Peace.

    Lin do not need to choose sides between China or Taiwan or America, he is everything all put together that's why he so marketable. politics will just make things complicated and counterproductive. Lin will make everyone proud. Clutch city 2.0 here we come!!!

    I wonder if we will see the return of posts like this:

    "Who said the rockets does not have the depth ------ to watch the Los Angeles rockets war feelings

    The rockets and before the lake person's competition three, a rockets hits the score backwardness to finish, the most high score difference reaches. /22

    The fourth section 7 minute 45 seconds, JVG unexpectedly dispatches the backless stool to request reinforcements is taken to the threshing ground, takes the post of the anticipation is the rockets substitution by 22; 1 attack high tide pursues the score 94; 92, if not for three-time serves has not entered, the rockets will realize counter- ultra-Lucas three in the short 17 minute time, the height which seven does not arrive by his 1 meter 6 throws in 5, three minute 2 center 1, penalty kick 2 center 2, 5 blue pull the high efficiency which, 2 secondary attack, 1 strongly breaks to have lasting achievements, moreover Hyde's three minute balls in 84, also play in the critical moment the stable morale of troops role.

    Although competes finally comes to an end by the rockets defeat. But we are not difficult to see the rockets all officers and men to put together the vigor, as well as player's the and so on Lucas high efficiency, my volume applauds for Lucas, too has been good, small fellow,15! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    sorry my english is poor. maybe have many mistake."

    Right but it's not like Team US needs his talent as much.
    Taiwan probably does the most but he does not make them that much better.
    With China he can compete but the regulations are harder.
