    After two years, Yao has finally returned to Toronto. Last year Tmac put up a good show, but it still wasn't the same without Yao.

    Hopefully Yao will have a good all around game. Last thing I want is for him to get into foul trouble and play < 20 min :( . But considering the raps defence, I doubt that will happen; unless Yao tries to defend Bosh of course. I have a feeling that he might, because Hayes definitely can't handle Bosh.

    Problem is this is the first time in a while I've been rooting for the raps, so I'm not sure how its gonna work tonight.. maybe I'll just cheer for every basket both teams make, even tho itll look kinda wierd haha


    Anyways, just wanted to point out how lucky all you guys in Houston are to be able to go to 41 home games and see Yao and Tmac so often (assuming they arent injured ;) ). Even if you dont go to games, youre lucky you get to watch all their games on TV and not bad quality video streams like most of us have to live with.

    I think its gonna be a good game, and I really really hope I dont sit beside a Tmac boo-er like last year... it was sooooooo annoying. I was sitting right beside him, with my tmac jersey, and he didn't seem to notice me at all lol.

    I'll try to post some pics so you guys can see the strong Yao Ming support we have here in Toronto.. you know, since we have so many asian people :D

    I was up in Toronto when Houston was in town and I tried to buy a couple of seats from a ticket agency, they wanted $1200 for two seats and they weren't even near courtside.

    Last year I bought my first NBA ticket becauses of YaoMing, but he did not come to Toronto at all due to injury. I felt so disappointed at that time.

    I wish I live in Houston. At leaset I can watch Rockets game on TV.

    The game was awesome!!! Huge win for the rockets, AND still got free pizza.. couldn't have turned out any better :cool: Sorry took so long for this post, had to finish up a school assignment overnight till now (yes the rockets game IS more important than school :D ), and i am dead tired

    Unfortunately, my seats sucked, so no good pics, and i was too lazy to walk down to the court, but took some video! The pre game intro for the rockets was so funny. Pretty big cheer for Yao when he came out (considering he is on the other team) and then all of a suddeng lots of boos for Tmac and even Rafer!!! I dont remember them booing rafer that much last year tho.


    Here's the player intros:
    <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qmcWBxehLuo"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qmcWBxehLuo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>


    And I got clips of yaos first shot made and first couple of free throws:

    Sorry nothing much you wont see in the highlights. I shoulda gone down and taken pics/vids up close, but i had a nice beer in my hand and didn't want to get up hahaha you know how it is ;)

    I did want to show you guys a picture of the game program (has yao on the cover), but i got locked outta my school webspace. maybe ill upload it later.

    oh and btw, my dad watched the game on tv and he said chuck and leo (raps broadcasters) gave yao lots of props. too bad i didn't get to see it
