ClutchFans Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets 11/10/2006

Does anyone know what the rockets +/- is when Battier is on the floor? Absolutely love what he brings to the Rockets. Easily the best FA/trade acquisition we've made since TMAC. Hopefully Wells gets back healthy, so we'll see less Juwan and although I LOVE Chuck Hayes, I don't know if he's going to hold up as a 25-30 minute/night player for us.

 

oops. misread the score. what a comeback by portland.

 

Dang! I predicted the score to be 103 to 95! I was one point off.

Also, I predicted Yao to have 33 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. He proved me wrong, but in a good way.


I did well on my predictions!



(Page 7 is where I predicted)

 

Let's see if Yao can repeat his performance tonight against the Heat on Sunday...

 

I was at the game and it was awesome. I really am amazed at how dominant Yao has become. If he keeps this up, we might need to start the MVP chant.

 

GO ROCK!

 

is this the first time yao pulled the chair on someone? Is he practicing for Shaq?

 

great win tonight hehe

looks like we're on a good pace, a win is a win

 

Found a interesting quote on SI today, in the PLAYER POWER rankings Yao is ranked in the top 10 somewhere. Expected I guess, but a key thing was that it also said that T-Mac is off to his USUAL slow start. I'm pretty sure its been mentioned before but people are still mouthing about T-mac and his crapness. Its a normal thing

All you fellas surprised by Yao's dominance - where the **** have you been? He's only been doing this since Feb of last year for crying out loud.

 

if KG's a big man, what do you call Lebron?

 

I can't get this torrent to work. It says that the torrent is corrupt or something.

 

Another great game by Yao.Yao is so far averaging 35.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game on his home court.

Can he heep this up the whole season?I sure hope so.

 

you have to install torrent apps which support chinese fonts. I got bitcomet (www.bitcomet.com) it worked for me.

A south China businessman has applied to register the name of the Chinese NBA player Yao Ming as a brand for female sanitary napkins, triggering complaints from the public and Yao's agent.


Xiao Senwen, of Zijin County, Guangdong Province, wants the trademark for a range of products including sanitary pads, diapers, sportswear, beer and metal ware.


Lu Hao, a member of Yao Ming's business and consultancy group, Team Yao, said the registration took them by surprise as it covered women's personal items.


"Yao Ming's name has been registered as a brand several times in the past, but this time is different. We are going to oppose this proposal," Lu was quoted by the Beijing News as saying.


The registration has already won preliminary approval from the trademark bureau of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, which has put it on its website for three-month public notification before final decision.


Lu said Team Yao would object during the notification period, which would start on Nov. 14.


According to Chinese trademark regulations, newly-registered brands take immediate effect if no objection is submitted.


The registration has aroused concern among Yao's fans, who complained on the Internet.


"It is a very indecent exploitation of our favorite basketball player," said one message on Tom. Com.


"It's selfish because the businessman is pursuing profit at the expense of a celebrity's image," said another.


About three quarters of people who left opinions on the Internet were against the registration, saying the trade bureau should have turned down the application and it would be disappointing if it was approved.


However, some people could see no harm in associating Yao's name with feminine products.


"I wouldn't feel it was an insult to Yao. This Guangdong guy's motive might not be good, but what's wrong with feminine products? Are they not entitled to be mentioned publicly?" said a government employee in Beijing surnamed Li.


Lu said Team Yao had tried to avoid unfavorable trademark registrations by officially registering Yao Ming as a trademark for more than 20 categories of products including sportswear, but they still had problems.


"We will register the other 40-odd categories in coming days," he said.


Early in July, a man named Li Zhenyong from Fujian Province wanted to register the trademark of China Central Television for condoms, but failed. But another condom maker has been using "Phoenix", which looks similar and sounds the same as the Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV.

 

Ok, thanks... downloading it now, I use Bittorrent before, I guess it doesn't support chinese fonts

 

Q-Rich and Robinson have some game but, the only time they scored is when the Rox defensive rotation slacked off or a couple of times when we didnt box out on the boards. They fight and they battle I'll give them that. The odds on them winning this game were very slim, but without the Rox giving them a helping hand with some gimme turnovers and resulting in gimme baskets this game would've been way over by midway of the 4th.

Enjoyed the atmosphere tonight, even with a sucky team coming in, the crowd was still constantly buzzing. No one really sat on their hands tonight. It was refreshing to see the crowd make a difference give the home town rockets a boost.

Imagine when SA, Phoenix, Miami, etc. come in. We need to take care of business on the home court.
