well, in Collison's defense, that was pretty much the only weapon he had to stop a Yao dunk. and you gotta love the big man's poise, coming back out and letting his game speak. good job, Yao and Mac.
It wouldn't have been a dirty foul if he didn't freaking throw him to the ground after grabbing him. You could grab a guy and hold on to him so he doesn't fall... Dumbass Collison. Oh well Yao could have hit him back but Yao's blow probably had more of an impact because it resulted in a loss instead of loss of blood. If only the Sonics' were fighting for their playoffs lives this game, then Collison would know how bad he messed up when he pissed off Yao and T-Mac, but especially Yao.
Yao talks about T-Mac's performance over the last two games http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=127234
There never was a feud between the two. All it was is 2 stars trying very hard to help their team and finding a way to coexist and flourish together. It's starting to happen now, just at the right time heading into the playoffs. We could be seeing the start of regular 50-60 point combined outbursts game in and game out. The only other similar combo out there is D-wade/Shaq. Boy would that be an epic final to behold!
Yao and Tracy are both second bananas by nature. I can't see either one of them turning into Kobe and start demanding to be the alpha dog. That's what makes this thing beautiful. This could be the next Kobe/Shaq combo but better. What happened to the Lakers dynasty was simply inevitable: their selfishness undid them. If the Rockets somehow channel that same success, they can go beyond what the Lakers did because that's not going to happen between our two stars.
Heck I would take and undoing of the team if its after 3 championships and a host of MVP's, Defensive Player o the Year and Finals MVP's!!! Lets get this fued on like Donkey Kong!
