I cant wait to finally see Ming play. I hope he dominates so we dont have to keep reading the "Ming will BUST" crap!
i will be watching because its the only good basketball games we have now. otherwise i wouldnt care to watch. i dont agree with most of their selections for the team. however, i will gladly watch the game against china.
Don't count on Ming dominating. I would be happy just to see him not get completely destroyed. 10-12 points, 8-10 boards, 2 or 3 blocks would be an excellent showing at this point, IMO.
It will be more exciting game if wang zhi zhi plays for china. It will be good game to see Yao Ming plays. I hope he aint in foul trouble again.
