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.
