    According to the Houston Chronicle:



    Is this a good thing or bad thing?

    I have a bad feeling that we are going to lose really bad to the lakers on national TV and Shaq is going to destroy Yao this time. :(

    Anytime the Rockets are on national TV it is definitly a good thing. The ratings for Yao are incredible, I have wondered why they don't show more on national TV. From a marketing standpoint, this brings huge dividends. Especially when they show these in East Asia. My friend in the air force, stationed in Japan, sees these games also. Japan is the next frontier for marketing, with China already on board. Im not talking Rockets and Yao marketing either, companies will be lining up to present their ads to these markets. High ratings bring advertisements from companies for the TNT's, and ESPN's. It's a win-win situation for both the broadcasting company and the Rockets.
    Now about your Shaq "destroying Yao" comment, i disagree.
    Yao has proven to be better prepared the second time around. Ask Duncan/Robinson, Raef Lefrentz/Bradley, and soon we'll find out how good he adjusts to Vlade Divac.

    Actually he already has met Divac the second time around and he scored 17 pts with 15 boards. The rockets wont that game as well.

    will it also be shown in Ch.51 or WB.39, or will be blackout by TNT? I hate the monoplay behavior of TNT?

    That's my first reaction, too, but we have to hope for the best.

    I had a feeling this would happen, despite the Dallas game. Yao brings big numbers. Now if we could just get Cat to pass him the ball.
