Look at me when I'm talking to you.
This is getting ridiculous. Actually, it's beyond ridiculous now. Tracy, quit kidding yourself and thinking you're capable of carrying a team into the playoffs, much less beyond the first round, on that gimpy chicken leg, back, and lazy eye of yours. You have Yao cashing checks he literally can't write, apparently hob knobbing with the SoHo crowd, and shutting down operations amidst one the greatest feats of overachievement in NBA history. 13-0? Yao kiddin me?

I've got 15-1 odds that during the Olympics' opening ceremony, Huanhuan the giant red dancing person/spirit will make his/its way to the torch, dramatically remove his head, and reveal himself to be the 7-6 starting center for the Houston Rockets and light that bad boy up. If only Rick Adelman knew before the season that "broken foot" and "mascot training in March" were so similar sounding in Chinese.
But seriously, Tracy, enough noise, enough of this win streak, and enough of a playoff spot being wasted on another T-Mac-led team. You're the 2nd Round Virgin. I don't know how long David Stern is going to let this go on for, but I think Pam Oliver would much rather interview Baron Davis or Allen Iverson in May than you or Dikembe freakin' Mutombo. Well, maybe not Deke.
Do the nation, nay, the world a favor and let Yao's team be. Land the Rockets safely and mission launch again next year. Besides, I heard open try-outs for Nini are going on right now.
