08/29 China vs Germany Ming: 18 minutes, 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block. 08/30 China vs Algeria Ming: 29 minutes, 38 points, 13 rebounds, 8 blocks, 3 assists, 1 steal. Now, big show again. 08/31 China vs USA. 9PM Eastern time on TNT. Chinese head coach Wang Fei said, "We will use young players in this game to give them experience." Good luck, Ming. My expection: 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists.
The board will certainly close down on this one. I cant believe those monster numbers he had. I'm waking up soooooooo happy. That's incredible! GOooooooo Ming!
22 pts 10 rbs 4 blks 5 asst 4 fouls 22 minuts Blocks 4 shots, 1st Baron Davis's dunk, 2nd Ben Wallace's dunk, 3rd O'neil's turn-around, and 4th Paul Pierce's three pointer. He will also dish out 5 assits since the US players will double team him.
I think Yao-sa is going to mess around like Ice Cube in the song "Today was a good day" & get a triple-double. Artist: Ice Cube Song: It Was A Good Day "Called up the homies And I am askin' y'all Which park are y'all playin' basketball Get me on the court and I'm trouble Last week messed around and got a triple double."
Being his first "real" nationaly televised game in the US, he better play up to par, or we will have another week or two of the "Yao Bashers" proclaiming Ming as the biggest bust since Dolly Parton. Good Luck big Fella.
BE prepared that this will be another rough night for Yao Ming! As the Chinese NT coach had said that since China could not win anyway, he was prepared to let subs and new players play the games - that means less balls would be passed to Yao Ming! I expect his stat will be very poor! Trust me! This will happen!
That's what I'm expecting. Yao Ming will probably play for only 15 minutes or less and get less than 10 shot attempts.
Just a quick heads-up: nba.com is reporting the Rudy T will be interviewed at halftime of the telecast tonight on TNT. link

According to my TV, it starts at 8pm central, which is 9pm eastern. edit: oh wait. I get it. when its 8 here, its 9 eastern. I think maybe you misunderstood.
All Chinese media announced it is at 9am Beijing time. So it should be at 9pm ET. I heard that China canceled the plan to live-broadcast this game because some "special" reasons. I just hope Ming can avoid to be influenced by these "special" interferences and play well tonight. I think many Chinese fans will come here if they cannot watch this game on TV. Hope American fans can give your comments during the game to feed these poor Chinese fans.
