I think for us as Kings fans
The Ron-Ron issue kinda wore some of us out. I think the trade deadline also wore the media out and then some. The Yao injury will give some people some yapping time.

Yao's injury,
is truly depressing.  Since the Kings aren't going to make the playoffs, I was looking forward to rooting for Houston.

I couldn't believe Yao played with that injury for two weeks before it was diagnosed.  I don't know which bone he broke, but I've read that the fifth metatarsal is the most common broken foot bone from sports injuries.  Both from the  pounding the foot takes and rolled ankles (the tendon tightens up too fast and can snap the bone).

I've broken that one before and only managed to limp around for three days before going to the doctor (torn ligament pain meter: I went three months with a torn ankle ligament before going to the doctor. Broken bone pain meter: times 12 million (exageration, but not by much)).  I can't begin to imagine playing on it for two weeks unless his was a pounding injury that gradually got worse and finally caused the bone to break.  

Either way, Yao has my sympathy, it frickin' HURTS in ways you can't even imagine unless you've broken it.

I feel him. Both options suck.  Cast and crutches or surgery to insert (a) screw (or twelve).  He's going to lose a lot of muscle in that calf either way.  I know he has access to better medical treatment/recovery than I did, but it still sucks.

When I broke mine, I had bone end separation of about an inch, so I was given both options.  If he's being told surgery, his bone separation is probably worse because the recovery time is similar whether you have surgery or just let it heal on its own.  I "think" you can walk on it sooner though if you have the surgery, so maybe they're hoping he can play sooner by having surgery.    

God bless you, Corliss. You always played as though you knew how expensive my tickets were. -section214

Well come on TZ, don't you remember? Sactown lovvves hockey, especially outdoors according to the ratings for that game. We're all glued to hockey blogs for the trading deadline.

Rick Adelman is cursed
It seems like Rick Adelman has spent most of the last 9 years fighting injuries to star players.  How long before McGrady joins Yao on the sidelines?

T-Mac
Even though he already spent some time injured, I'm saying it's when he and b-jax reignite their feud and Bobby takes him out with a piledriver

LOL!
I watched the rest of the Houston game Sunday after the Kings lost and they replayed that fight.

Hilarious.  According to Jon Barry when he mentioned it to both Bobby and T-Mac they were excited to know the clip existed and wanted to see it.

I don't even remember it but it was so much better than the Christie-Fox fight, even without the flying purses featured in that one.

The best part?  It was a no fear fight, it never felt like it was going to spill off the floor.

I think TrueHoop linked to the youtube clip on Monday.

Whaaaaaaat?
"I'm not too worried about free agency right now," he said. "Jesus wore sandals, lived on apples and bananas."

What does Jesus' footwear have to do with free agency?

I swear, Artest is like a little kid. He just says whatever pops into his head.

I think he was trying to say
money isn't that important. But, I agree he often speaks too much for his own good.
