On just about every team we are chasing: Utah They are self imploding, so no worries there Phoenix Aaron Brooks: clearly he played awful last night, and he would have gotten away with throwing the game if it wasn't for that meddling Miller Memphis Shane Battier: of course, he is still a Houstonian at heart and will do whatever it takes to see Houston make the playoffs Ish: well, he doesn't really do anything, so discount him New Orleans: Carl Landry: he has made it clear that he would enjoy playing in Houston again, this is his best way to pay us back Trevor Ariza: Has anyone seen his numbers this year??? He is clearly trying to throw games David Andersen: clearly he is pretending to be the glue that holds that team together, and right when they need a big push... uh oh, he just fades away; those 2.7 points aren't going to score themselves ya know. Maybe Morey is actually a genius, and we are definitely going to make the playoffs. All of these moves were made for this reason... And that is when I woke up :grin:
I'm the douche that takes a quick third puff when he thinks nobody is looking. That being said, david Andersons 2.7 points WON'T score themselves, and may prove critical come play offs.
And Yao is actually an inside man for Dallas dating back to 2001. Del Harris who was currently an Assistant Coach with the Mavericks had ties to the Chinese government and the Chinese National team suggested Yao enter the NBA Draft of 2002. Knowing that 4 out of the top 5 lottery picks would be a Western Conference team at the time, Dallas made negotiations with China to have Yao employed as an inside man for the Mavericks. This would include a percentage of Yao's salary ( approx 50% ) being sent to the CBA for the rest of his career if Yao does not comply. This would allow Dallas to make a run for the title without facing a 7'-6" threat and another team in contention. This move helped paved way for Dallas to advance to the NBA Finals in 2006 where the Mavericks eliminated the Rockets in the first round. I'm so kidding big guy!
