    Man, with all this hype for T-Mac and Yao, you would think we would get viewers. Well, the Rockets are getting what they deserve. They really need to make some changes before it blows up even more in their face.

    Don't get too happy tinman. Remember that CD is the one who'll be making the decision on who (or what) to draft.

    Of course this all stems from the fact that the Rockets are sucking it up right now. We just need a nice little run to get over .500 and we should get more viewers watching.

    I've probably missed more games this year than all of last year combined. I've probably watch more "rockets east" games than rockets games.

    We also have a lot more games on National TV which probably has a lot of people just not intersted to watch if they don't have Cable TV. They have to go to a bar etc.

    You are a dumbazz. Ever wonder why Toyota chose to put their name on the new stadium? How about that Chinese beer company paying a couple mils per year?

    Espn had an article commenting that Yao brought a huge number of extra revenue to the Rox each year. 8 figures, I think.

    Arrrrrrrrgh.

    It's not Yao's fault, it's JVG with his 67-74 results...low-scoring, boring style.

    JVG is a loser, his offense sucks and his defensive schemes are overated.

    Please Les, fire him and bring in anyone.

    You have no clue about how much Yao is worth now. In terms of money, Yao is by far the most valuble athlete, in any sport, in any country. Have you not heard about where China's headed? Think entire Europe as one country. I suggest you tune in to the 2008 Olympics, you might be surprised what 1.3 billion non-communist Chinese have done in the last decade.

    Even without China. The asian population in the states is by far bigger than Houston. Les' market just ballooned, Houston just turned into a big market franchise. Just wait till we start winning.

    If this team is ever to become a contender, Les, and for sure NBA, is going to make more money than Chicago did with MJ.
