Thank you all!!! Of course you are correct! I hadn't noticed the small ET along side of the time. I had requested the live times and had expected the Beijing time. This is what happens when you get old!! I am not that old yet!
Am I the only one hoping Team China wins? I have no allegiance to any of our players and I can't stand Coach K. Go Yao!
I too will be watching for Yao. I mean GO TEAM AMERICA and all but come on, we have more interests at stake here than patriotism. I'm apprehensive for the big guy...
does anyone know if is there anywhere to watch this game live, or a replay online other than the nbc website? or is anyone planning to cap it and put up a torrent? i'm not sure how much of this game channel 7 here in australia will be telecasting..
I can bet China will lose 30+ pointers. But the environment will be crazy though. Chinese are crazy for Yao Ming and Kobe.
And Lebron and Melo and Wade and everybody else in the team. Chinese people love basketball more than Americans.
People need to stop making comparisons between current NBA players and previous players. It's useless to compare Hakeem and Yao just like it's useless to compare Kobe and Jordan. Guys, come on. Let's quit living in the past and be fans of who we have and not who we wish we could have.
I hope Yao doesn't get hurt during the games.Now if you root against Team USA in any event please move to Canada.
The China V USA is going to be a difficult game for Yao Ming. The USA is not playing traditional basketball, having so many quick guard type shooters on it's team. The only saving grace for China will be if all the fouls committed by the USA against Yao are called. Because of the defence played by this type of USA team Yao must receive passes going to the basket ala McGrady inorder for him to score . I hope Yao isn't injured!
