    Read this interesting and funny story from Wang Meng of Titan Sports, and want to share it with you guys.

    What do you guys think? Is Leslie Alexander running the Houston Rockets organization too lean and mean? :eek:

    ENJOY !!! :D

    No wonder so many of them taking turns to getting flu, cold and unwell. This is just unacceptable and totally inconsiderate. I think something has be done to rectify this.

    Well, for this time, I don't think Wang Meng is fabricating up the story. :rolleyes:

    It was reported in the blog of another Chinese reporter, Zhang Yi of Sohu.com with incidents very similar to what's reported by Wang Meng.

    http://keithinhouston.blog.sohu.com/78930790.html

    And the fact is the management forgot to pay the bill, and therefore there was no supply of hot water in the players' changing room.

    Story is almost surely true, but managment FORGOT to pay the bill? I doubt that is the case, more likely the water heater in the building is broke.

    I know, I just get visions of the reporter following these guys into and out of the showers, hold a note pad the whole time

    More like the problem of Toyota Center building manager. I doubt Alexander or Morey is looking at why water heater is not working right.

    Yeah, there is another report from the Shanghai Xin Min Evening Post reporting on the same incidents.

    http://sports.sina.com.cn/s/2008-02-13/14581363525s.shtml

    Carl Landry finished his shower in 16 seconds.

    It seemed like the reporters were allowed to wait in the players' changing room for their turn to interview the players, while the shower room is inside the players' changing room.
