Game 2s

I feel like George W at an Enron investor's party... everything's coming up Houston. For the second time in 3 days, TMac and Yao dominated Utah in the second half, and snatched victory from their conservative, sometimes polygamist, clutches. Actually, Mehmet looked pretty impressive and gave Yao some problems in the first half. But with his shooting stroke gone cold, the lusty Turk couldn't get it done on the offensive end. TMac was pretty cold in the first half, but he sank 'em when they counted and Houston took a commanding 2-0 lead going back to Salt Lake City.
The Pistons blah-ed their way to another vic against the sorely outclassed Magic. There's really not much to say here other than that the Pistons could win this series in 4 with Rip Hamilton literally playing with his eyes closed. Dwight Howard's shortcomings are being exposed like a roll of film.

Sun Ming Ming

Yikes. That's a picture of the 7"9' Chinese mutant, Sun Ming Ming, palming a regulation size basketball. He is so beastly he not only can dunk without jumping, dude can dunk sitting down. Just kidding... kind of. He's a monster. He plays for the Maryland NightHawks of the ABA and scored like 8 pts and 4 rebs in his first ABA game. He hopes to play in the NBA someday, and I have bad news for him; if he can't average 130 points a night to go with 50 or 60 rebounds and 20 or so blocks, in the ABA, he can't even be Yao's ball warmer (and I don't mean basketball) in the NBA. He does, however, have a bright future in feline tree rescue services. Also, he's in Rush Hour 3 and fights Chris Tucker. The only way they're making that victory for Tucker look believable is if he flies a helicopter into Sun.
