[Double-K]

anyone know if/when they'll air it again?

They do have another Sunday night broadcast........9:01pm.........
I guess it's a re-run.........they're not playing 2 games there, are they?

i double checked ESPN, and the only listing they have is the 4:30 start time. sometimes they play them again at midnight, i guess not with preseason

Yes, they are playing 2 games in China. Hey, why go all that way and play only one?

The Sunday night broadcast is Game 2.

Doh! Thanks I only wondered because someone told me he didn't go.

News from Shanghai

http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2004-10-12/08301189857.shtml

English translation:
Webber from Kings also has a short interveiw at the airport. As there was rumor said that Webber would not come to China because of injury, one report make joke and ask, "Why you are here?" Webber answers,"Who said that I won't come? I have never been to China. I come here for sure!"

i see brad's trying to prevent an injury by staying a few feet from the team on the crowded escalator

Good to hear he made the trip, though you'd think with all the money he has he'd get on of those little cute small cameras

Thanks Bride!

On ESPN's tv listings for that day, they have it listed as being rebroadcast 12 hours later, at 4:30pm PDT.

 

[The Bride]

I feel sad that Christie could not go to China. I always think if the Kings has a team photo in front of the Great Wall will be so interesting...

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Who didn't make the trip? The news says " a couple of key players". I know that Tag wasn't going to go and DC as well...

Edit: Thats it, everyone else made the trip.

I didn't even notice it was Jabari Smith. Someone needs to tell whoever is in charge that Jabari is no longer a King.. LOL ^_^

Yeah, really! I find it funny that they picked Jabari for that poster, even if he was still on the team. Maybe they forgot what # Webb wears and put the other 6'10 PF by mistake.

Thanks for the pics

 

[bibbyweb]

Thanks for the pics, guys

By the way, even I thought that it was Webber they had put on that poster.
Guess NBA stars are not yet that popular in China.

 

[C4]

all my bags are packed, i'm ready to go
i'm standing here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye

but the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
taxi's waiting, blowing it's horn
ALREADY I'M EXCITED, i could die













oh yeah don't worry double-k, i won't sure be taking China Airlines.

 

[DoughDole]

Don't worry. It is probably just deja vu.
