It's so f***ed I can't believe it 
If there's a way I wish we'd see it 
How could it work just can't conceive it 
Oh what a mess it's best to leave it

So right after I posted this, Yao breaks a leg.  Then The Truth went down, T-Mac made a comeback but still has a bad sacroiliac, and  AK-47 impersonated Rocky Balboa.  J-Smooth caught a hernia, The Answer couldn't catch a flight to snowed-in Denver, and nearly everybody else in the NBA caught the flu.
Ron Artest has sore knees.  Ray Allen has a new baby.  Saddam is going to be hanged any day now.
Oh wait, he's not in the Association ...
