my favorite part of the Q&A: LOL! JCF: OK, well here’s one last question and I think I know your answer before I even ask. Do you at all relish that underdog position of being counted out before it begins? I’m guessing you’d probably prefer people think you’re on pace for a 65-win season and then deal with the expectations which accompany that. DM: Yeah, I think you’re right. We’re sick of being underdogs. We want to be the dog, you know? It would be nice to just be the dog once (laughs). We had it lined up to be the dog last year but the dog got hurt in the knee and foot. All I know is that we’re not the dog right now.
Nice, two clever guys for sure. That's an old photo I think. DM's double chin looks so young in that pic.
If the Rox make the playoffs (top 4 seed) or have a good chance of making the playoffs, then Yao will definitely be back this season. If they look like they are headed for the lottery or do not make the playoffs, or have the #8 seed, then definitely no Yao
