As a fan of good basketball, I am not looking forward to this game itself as I figure it to be totally lopsided play wise. Not a big Lebron fan but this will be the one game that Lebron and the rest of the HEAT have circled on their calendar. They will make a point of spanking Cleveland.
I also think the HEAT will make a point of emphasis to beat Toronto so they can show their support for Chris Bosh.

Why is the announcement today if it was done before the trade? Yi Jianlian is from Guangzhou and it just makes sense to have both Chinese players in the NBA playing in the motherland. There would have been added excitement with the Wizards featuring the #1 draft pick as well. While I’m fixing the NBA’s mistakes, I would like to add that Miami at Cleveland should have been the first Christmas Day game followed by Boston at Lakers. Feel free to contact me after you fire the knucklehead who messed up the NBA’s schedule. Give the Chinese what they want and give NBA fans the Christmas morning present we wanted.

Can this under-paid marketing consultant get a well paying gig with you guys?
Why wouldn’t you be sending Yao and the Rockets over there EVERY preseason?
Keep in mind, there’s a BILLION people in China. That means that over there, if you’re a one in a million kindof person there’s still a thousand more just like you.
That’s a lot. Hope you can squeeze this visit in before Yao retires.
Meanwhile, in the future when a team signs a mildly talented 7 foot 6 guy from India, look me up. The Admins here can give you my email.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
