video footage of pregame and intros to yesterday's game

Thanks RockBox. Rockets.com is awesome.

 

I remember watching Yao and Boki go at it in pregame. I don't know why they went at it, since Yao is so much taller, but they went at it anyway. Yao looked pretty good against Boki, though that doesn't mean much.

However, some stupid he-she thing asked us to go to our seat instead of watching from the rail, despite the game not starting till at least another hour.

As for the intro, it was ok.

 

For those who want to see some Hawkins, watch the video of the beginning of the game. Carter ISOs Hawkins on the wing. He can't get past Hawk at all. Hawkins just glides on his feet, dancing and floating around, never commiting himself too much to one direction by getting his feet too widely spread. Just pure quickness. You can see this in Jordan's footwork and Kobe's.

 

Wow. I didn't realize how quick Yao was. Seeing courtside footage, rather then TV footage really helps you see Yao's quickness on his first hoops at the Laptop.

 

That is strange, considering that it is coming from Cat.
Heypartner:
I agree. Hawkins played great against Carter.

 

What is that song called that they played when the Rockets just enter the floor? Nice beat.
