    I ate some bad food for lunch the other day, but didn't feel it till I had already gotten into the train station. I was able to control it during the hour ride, despite the intense pain, and almost sweating at one point, but as soon as I got to my doorstep, the pain about tripled and I was almost passing out at this point because it was very hard holding it in. i had to use my hands to crawl up the stairs and goto the bathroom.

    I was able to hold the pain off for 60 miuntes because I knew I wasn't getting relief anytime soon, but as soon as I sensed that the relief was forthcoming very shortly, my body almost collapsed form the fight.

    The pain is your metaphor for Yao!

    Or you're on some serious weed.

    ...I can't really tell.

    I get it....sort of.

    I think he's saying that the players have been toughing it out without Yao for so long that they just got used to dealing with the uphill battle of not having their security blanket out there on the court.

    Once they found out that Yao's return was imminent, they sensed relief, and took their foot off the gas a little.

    I can see that. But Toronto is a good team. Atlanta, Boston losses and a blowout loss to the spurs....not good.

    So our game with the Spurs was like a bad case of diarrhea. That makes sense.

    hotball, u my friend, are a genius. And this is not to sound sarcastic either. Your story was a brilliant use of metaphor.

    it really makes more sense when you consider that the team has pretty much laid a big stinking pile of turd against Atlanta, Boston and San Antonio. Dunno if the Atlanta game was when Yao's return got internally announced, but it definetely felt like the pain tripled at that point (well for anyone who had to watch that disaster anyway)

    Of course, if you were more selective over what you ate and played V-Span at least 15 mintutes a game, these kinds of stomach problems wouldn't happen...

    Was your train coming from Amsterdam? :D


    Yeah because V-Span played so good in the Spurs game right? I was at the game and he looked really bad, that pass across court into the fourth row is sure to get him more playing time...lol

    I'm going to answer no, but if your question has some kind of homoerotic implication behind it, I'd like to tell you to shut up in advance, that and I live in NYC. :p
