Run for your lives, it's the apocalypse. ESPN gave us props, the world must be ending.

Seriously, I haven't seen a Rockets game all year on Aussie TV. Whenever you turn it on, it's Miami, LA, Boston, OKC, or NY Dicks!!!!

So glad I watch it online, (quality aside) and that I DON'T PAY FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw you ESPN, and David Stern!!!

Last year, there was no news that Douglas was dealing with injuries. He looked perfectly fine on the court, except that he was shooting poorly. People surmised that Douglas must have been struggling to regain his form after his shoulder surgery. But he never missed games due to injury nor ever showed up on injury reports.


After the Celtics game a few games ago, he said the surgery did affect his shooting last season:

Is he lying? Who knows, but his career shooting numbers support what he's saying. After two seasons of decent shooting, they took a nosedive last season, and now they're back to decent. (Knock on wood!)

They show EVERY, EVERY Rocket games live!

Go to Hupu.com, if you can read Chinese, you'd be shocked by how many fanatic Rockets fans are there. Lin has helped the popularity, but some of them are DIE HARD fans... they can recite every obscure stat of Lowry & Scola... it's really ridiculous.

Look at our game thread, you think 10 pages is something good??? Their direct in game thread goes over ONE HUNDRED pages easy!

After each game they have several guys racing to put up huge post game threads and then the mods just eliminate the ones that are not "good enough"! And EACH ONE OF THEM.. post games threads goes over 30 pages!!!

And trust me, with that kind of demand they come up ways to show every game live!

http://bbs.hupu.com/rockets (This is their Rockets forum, look at how crazy that forum is)
http://bbs.hupu.com/4835653.html (This is their Christmas post game thread, 35 pages and counting, with charts, pictures AND VIDEOS)

Dude.. if you complain about not getting accessed to Rocket games in China you don't know what you are talking about, they get more access than people living in Houston!!

don't look at me i didn't pick the channels for the hotel
i only able to see this game live on cctv5
other channels are showing the replay
but i want it LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(one channel did say it will show the minnesota game live)
btw i believe you aren't allow to post other website here
