With Yao going for SURGERY (caps for dramatic effect…and because it got stuck) and is done for the year, fans everywhere just have that pang in their hearts.

You know, there’s nothing quite like a feeler in the middle of a promotional event sponsored by Coca-Cola to jump-start your day.
I can only image what both these gents are feeling right at the moment of clarity as they realize what just happened…
Liu Xiang: *thinking to himself* Holy shit…
Yao: *out loud* Damn right.

Playoff Photos: Yao’s Many Emotions April 22, 2007

My answer is: 1-c, 2-b, 3-d, 4-a
So the Rockets were able to dispatch the Utah Jazz last night where T-Mac finally has a chance to legitimately get out of the 1st Round in a convincing fashion. I don’t go deep into analysis of that game because—A) I totally didn’t watch it B) Don’t want to jinx the Human Twig aka McGrady.
Moving on to other Game 1s:
Raps lost in a close one (game I did watch, hurray for me). You know what? It was a good lost, as dumb as that sounds. They were looked shook because they got tight whenever Jersey scored and wanting to punch back right away with a bucket to get momentum—but in doing so, they let defensive matchups slip. There were hardly any possessions when the Nets didn’t score. I think Smitch needs to look into that.
Detroit won while Brian Hill was making his summer plans on the sidelines……
Bulls/Heat weird game: even with a crap game from Wade and a fouled out Shaq, it actually was a lot closer than the actual score—which was close as it was!……
OH, and make sure to browse HoopsAddict’s collection of playoff queries collected in a Voltron-like fashion, tons of great answers from everyone (psst! I also chimed in!) So have a look over at HoopsAddict now!

Every Wednesday from now until the playoffs (or eternity, whichever comes first), the Unrelatedness shall go into deep length about a vague topic nobody cares about take a moment and observe the bball world at the macro level (I have no idea what that means either)
“Ah!! It BURNS!!!” That’s how’d I react if the bloody Heat, using Dwyane “Elastic Arms” Wade’s impending return as an uplift, are suddenly the hunters instead of the hunted. They did take down the young studs that is the Barney team last night. Even though the Jurassic Park Team were wounded as it is (Andrea and Jorge gone due to injury—NOTE: those are really NBA players, you must believe me), the real dinosaurs, Shaq & Co. gutted out the win. You know, their bullcrap of suddenly turning it up would annoy me, but I think a major props is due because they know if they use the last few week’s winning momentum, then they’d be in top shape during playoffs.
Wait. You know what. I take that back. F Miami. I hate them, I hate their fans and their movies. Because I’m fickle like that, that’s just how I roll.
Down shifting gears there’s an interview with everyone’s favourite OJ Mayo over at HoopsWorld. In there, he sounds pretty down to earth and seems like he’s in control of what he’s doing. On playing more than one year at USC:
Are you someone who’s looking to learn what he can in one year’s worth of college basketball then hit the big league, or are you still leaving open the possibility of playing a couple years at USC?
I can see myself staying for more than one year. I’ll stay until I feel like I’m ready to go to the next level. They’re all stepping stones until you get to where you want to get to—until you reach what’s above your head. I’m going to accomplish everything that I want to accomplish in college, and once I’ve done that, then I’ll be ready to leave.
BWahaha, yea right son! Even if you don’t win the NCAA Championship next year, I’m willing to bet my friend’s dog that you’ll declare, just ask Oden. But back to the interview, here’s what makes me think Mayo has a solid head about the things around him:
You and Kevin Love are two of the most highly-touted prospects in the country, and you’re going to be playing your college ball about twenty minutes away from each other in L.A. Do you see Love being someone you could spark a friendly rivalry with throughout your collegiate and pro careers?
(Laughing) You never know. It just depends, but I hope so. I think most definitely it would be a great rivalry. I know him since the eighth grade, he’s a great guy and a great competitor also. Knowing he’s only twenty minutes away, I think we’ll be pushing each other and it’ll make us better players. I think it’s good for both of us.
Oooooo, why don’t you just marry him if you love him that much! ? OJ and Kevin, sittin’ in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-?–err.. moving on…
What the hell did Dirk eat?? Insider sources revealed this to The Unrelatedness today:
Finally, there is only one Highlander: Yao, being CPotW (Conference Player of the Week for you acronym evaders) is now part of the Brotherhood of Cracking Jokes at Mount Mutombo:
Asked Mutombo’s age, Yao Ming said, “Like his number.”
Mutombo wears No. 55.
BURN!

Tidbits: Sixers Don’t Know How To Lose; Yao’s Back March 5, 2007

Okie, as we near the end of the season we really should look at which teams are bound to make it all the way. I mean, we really should. But let’s take look at a team that shouldn’t even be talked about, but is trying to make a rumble.
Specifically, 76ers. Winning four in a row yo, J.B. fills us in. What is up with that gang? Don’t you guys want top picks in da lottery? They’ll have are a hard time securing that spot since Hotlanta, Boston and Mumphis are better losers than they are (that makes him Winners!). But, I’m glad this his surge has been also good to Iggy, (good thing we checked up on him), ballin’ straight up this past month (20+ pts in almost all of them). It’s great that he’s building that momentum to become a greater player, and winning certainly helps.
HOWEVA, what about the draft picks? They’re flirting with that unattainable girl called Playoffs:
Why not?” is how Andre Iguodala would answer that.
“Look at the Orlando Magic last year,” Iguodala said. “They were in a similar position. Nobody was looking at them and they sprouted up and finished ninth and surprised everybody. You never know.
“We’re going to keep playing hard and we’re going to play like we have a chance. We can only control what goes on on the court.”
…
“It’s been the high point of the season so far,” Iguodala said.
…
“I was at an autograph signing and this guy was saying, “You guys are playing well, and that’s good, but we’re not getting a lottery pick if you guys keep winning,’ ” Sixers forward Andre Iguodala said.
Can’t knock A.Iv2.0 and his confidence and spirit though, even in a weird/bad year that his team went through. Good thing home town Philly-ers feel the same way, as a recent SLAM feature shows his popularity.
Next TOPIC
Yao apparently is cleared to face the flippin casual Cavs tonight! And he’s going to be wearing an leg instrument!
“The new brace Keith found is doing its thing really well,” Dawson said. “Yao likes it. Everything is looking good. He’s made a lot of progress.”
*I know it’s his right leg, but I think we all know Yao needed to balance the weight.
I bet Zzzz is happy that Mr. Ming isn’t at full strength yet, and they’ll have their epic battle of the slow moving mountains tonight. But, a limping Yao trumps a normal Z any day. Advantage, Robocop leg.

Michael Scott: Today is a very special day at
Dunder Mifflin.
As part of the our global expansion in getting more customers, we have teamed up with an NBA star player for a promotion!
One special player will come in to our humble offices and see how things go down at a paper company. Hopefully this player will learn “something”—[awkward pause] not that I’m saying they don’t know anything.. they know basketball for instance….I mean I mean I mean, I’m sure they already know many things… umm, what I’m saying is hopefully we learn from each other.
Dwight Schrute: Good save Michael.
Michael: Not helping Dwight.
Dwight: So Michael wants to invite an “NBA” player in to see what we do. You know what? I’m not buying it. I think he’s trying to replace me.
But no worries, whoever it is, I will Take.Him.Down. Like taking a candy from a baby—cruelty free.
These NBA guys, they already can dunk, I’m not going to let them get my job as well.
Michael: Ahh, the MAN of the hour.
Oscar (speaking to Yao): …so yeah, we’re just going to show you how we do things around here…
Michael: Come on Oscar, he’s not “INTO” you, haha!
Oscar: No.. I was just telling him..
Michael (very condencendingly): HELLLLOOOO MISSSSSSTERRR MIIIIINGGG, HOOOOW, AAAAREE YOUUU?
Yao Ming (smiles): I’m fine, thank you.
Michael: ooookAAY!
Jim Halpert: Michael and Yao Ming. Really.
I did not see this day coming. At all.
I will totally use this to mess with Dwight.
On second thought.. I better warn head offices…
Yao: I thought this was a huge mistake coming here.
But I think I’m starting to like the people.
Especially the receptionist.
What’s her name? Pam? Yeah, I think we “clicked” heh
Pam: He said what? Oh my god. That’s…wow.. I mean, I think I like him. But I dunno if I “like” like him.
Do I still have feelings for Jim?
…I’m not sure.. Yao seems like nice guy too, so who knows?
Michael: I think we learned a lot today. We learned that no matter how tall or short you are, you can still get along. Like the great Confucius would say: “he that shows others how to act properly, then he shall be proper in return”
Dwight: He never said that. I would know, because I read all his books—translated, thank you Google.
Michael: Shutup Dwight
Try to explain the West...
