Gametime Thread Rockets vs Kings in Shanghai

SO how have they looked the first half? Can anyone summarize quickly?

Can u believe I'm in India (6:30pm) and they aren't showing these games on freakin TV
 
happy basketball new years. lebron wants to average a triple double. webber wants to catch every mike bibby pass.

i want the kings to win win win!!!! GO KINGS!
 
they just mentioned how much money yao's gonna be making from endorsements... does Yao have to split that with the Chinese Gov't as well? or just his NBA Salary? anyone know?

in the first Qt with all the starters in, they jumped out to a big lead, they were flowing well, webber looked AWESOME, so did miller, and he did a good job on yao.

in the 2nd QT, the starters came out, and the guys trying to make the team came in and we went south. the rockettes took the lead, we got into major foul trouble giving them ample opportunities to take the lead ( which they did) we were in the penalty with 7 + to go.

yao also has 4 fouls, but the thoughts here are there is no way in hades that they will call a 6th foul on yao. and to that i say, you better if he commits it. i don't care if he is in front of his own fans, call the game the way it is supposed to be called.

webber looks amazing out there, the movement is MUCH better then it was, the jump shot looks better, and he is attacking the boards. he had 9 points, 8 rebounds in the first QT, i don't think he played in the 2nd ( i need a box score!!!) if this is the webber we get most of the time, i have a great feeling about the season. no obviously that knee will give him crap from time to time, but if this is how we can have it more often then not, we will be fine.

our D looks pretty good as well.

GO KINGS!!!!!

can anyone tell me wat they thought of Martin?

Defense, Offense?

how does he look...
Martin looks really good. He is really quick. I think his defense doesnt look too bad either. I had heard that he is not that good on defense earlier.

No. Yao "Just" needs to give 50% of NBA salary to government, and Rockets has to do many things for his former team.

If martin does anything crazy someone tell me!!!!!!
he just dished out to webber who made the bucket. he has been all over the place, doing a little bit of everthing. k-mart has yet to allow a basket to t-mac. grant and gary are very impressed with him.

BIBBY FOR 3 and the score is tied
 
and just as i write taht k-mart had yet to allow t-mac a bucket, t-mac gets a bucket. thats it i'll shut up now :D

bibby to the line, makes both, tied again at 58
