Beware of my Rockets.

because if you notice, Mutumbo waves his finger in the air.

The rule says you can do whatever you want with your fingers, as long as you don't point or direct it at a player.

Mutumbo puts his hand straight up in the air and does the finger wag.

Jefferson did it in his face.

When Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin and all the other unoriginal losers who like to finger wave at Mutumbo, let's see what they're doing when they're 41.

I guarantee, it won't be contributing at a high-level on a prominent NBA team.

Dude had 6 blocks last night.

 

Mutombo is listed as being 41 years old. No way he is under 47.

 

He still has ups... He had a master slam dunk last night.

But yeah, I'd suspect he is closer to 50.

I like him either way.

To answer ISL's question about Yao who? Yao will more than likely be traded this offseason.

If you can get Marion for Shaq, then the Rockets will realize they can get players who will make them drastically better, something Yao doesn't do for Houston.

 

Wow, do you really think he will get traded? I know they are playing the best basketball in the league without him, but man, I don't know if I'd trade Yao (2nd best C in the game) unless I got something like Boozer + D. Williams back which I don't see happening. What kind of value could Houston get for him? His injury wasn't one of those that lingers on in a career so I'm sure he'll come back to his old self next year.

 

I do think they will trade him.

He's a great player, but this is a business.

Someone making the maximum contract should drastically make your team better. Yao does not. (7-straight double-digit wins since he has been out) and (20-12 record without him last year).

I just think if the Heat got Marion for someone horrible like Shaq, we could get a lot back for Yao, if for no other reason than because of the Chinese money he brings back.

In my opinion, 3-4 real solid role players would be better than Yao, just because he doesn't fit what Adelman wants to do.

For example, I'd take Deng, Tyrus Thomas and Duhon and a few picks aka the Bulls' bad-boys for Yao.

Imagine our current team, plus the versatile Deng, another shot-blocking beast like Thomas and a steady PG like Duhon.

That deal is totally an example, but it illustrates my point that in Adelman's system, depth and role players mean everything.

 

Yeah, I could see that. Chicago has the depth to do something like that. Plus, they'd be getting themselves a bona fide "star", something they haven't had since Pippen left. Houston would be sick.

 

We have never, ever, played well in Atlanta. T-Mac said Adelman emphasized that and McGrady guaranteed the streak would continue.

"At some time the streak has to come to an end. I promise it won't be tonight. I know our history there."
