Houston being Houston...
Anybody else surprised that Yao, McGrady and Artest all get hurt in the same game. It’s like they met after the game and said “crap, this was the game I was planning to get hurt..”

Checklist of topics discussed in non-local broadcasts:
1. The Finals collapse
2. The Warriors collapse
3. Kidd trade
4. Avery firing
Van Gundy has already covered 1 and 2…in the same breath, practically. But no fail, these are the topics that are always brought up.
