    Rockets championship easily. Most people would say that considering that this is a Rockets forum.

    I didn't root for China at all. I was a little nervous at the beginning but it all panned out. Yao had a nice game though.

    :rolleyes: if he was a rapist he would be convicted and found guilty in court...

    He committed adultery... You can hate him for that, but then again, you would be hating many other NBA players... In fact, I'm more disappointed in Mcgrady's extra child situation that what Kobe did.

    Since I'm not American and ther are no Rockets players in USA team I rooted for Yao but you can see that he's not quite ready.

    Olympic games are going to prepare for NBA season.

    I wanted Yao to be awesome and own, but to lose ultimately for the sake of US winning.

    Well I've never posted on a Team USA fan site, so I'm not sure what your point is.

    I was happy Yao didn't give 100% because I'm afraid he could injure himself..

    Did you watch the game? I think Yao was giving 100% of what he had, he just wasn't physically 100%.

    Wow. I wanted USA to crush Yao and China. When he hurt his ankle, I was hoping it was just bad enough to keep him out of the Olympics.

    I am completely against Yao playing at 70% health and so glad that Team USA blew them out of the water. He looked so dumb cheering at the end.

    I will be so mad if Yao get sanother stress related injury becaus ehe didn't heal properly.

    Anything less than a perfect Olympic record is a disappointment. Anything less than a gold medal is an embarrassment.

    Screw China. Go USA.

    I want Yao to play well, knock the rust off, and get confidence in his foot so he comes to training camp ready to roll for this year.

    I was asleep, and still sleepy during the introductions. I didn't wake up until that 3 dropped. At that point, I was ALL CHINA! :D :D :D

    Well, as a proud Chinese national, I was rooting for Yao and China all the way! I literally jumped out of my seat when Yao hit that sick 3-pointer to open the game, and my heart was up in my throat when he fell down in pain later in the game. Yao definitely gave his 100 percent in that game, though others on his team may not have. It was a valiant effort nevertheless. Stay healthy Yao, we have a championship to win in the NBA!

    Hayesfan, are you a University of Kentucky graduate/student? I am asking because I am one :)
