16-4

I don't have anything witty to say. No unique angle. No breaking news.

Just the fact that, in the 20 games since TeeMak finally bowed out, "his" Rockets are 16-4 and playing for second in the west.

What is the protocol for Trading Away A QUOTE/UNQUOTE Franchise Player As Quickly As Humanly Possible Without Letting Other Teams Know Just How Badly You Want To Ship Him Off? Not that the rest of the NBA can't see it. But teams like the Grizzlies and Clippers are more concerned with selling tickets than they are with, say, getting a team to the playoffs, much less into the second round.
