I keep trying to form a cohesive thesis about the Rockets streak, one that won't give away how little I watched them pre-Yao injury, or bring out the disdain I once had for half that roster.

... 7) Like my cohort Jack Cobra did yesterday, the grandmasters at Free Darko are contemplating the Rockets remarkable 19-game winning streak. Keep this in mind for a moment, one more win and the Rockets will have gone undefeated for 1/4 of their season. For a baseball team to do that, they would have to go 40 and 0. ...

... If this isn't reason enough for more Dikembe Mutombo coverage, I don't know what it takes.  Here are Deke's Rockets teammates -- still amidst that 19-game winning streak -- providing commentary on and impressions of the 41-year-old center (full name: Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo).  He's probably one of three or four people on Earth that actually warrants a reality TV show about his life.  Please, TV gods, make it happen. ...
