Yao Ming talks trash? That's what Tyson Chandler revealed Monday. "Last time, he told me he was going to make me swallow my mouthpiece," Chandler said. "He can speak English better than he lets on." Maybe it's just familiarity. Chandler has known Yao for eight years, having played against him when Yao traveled to California for a youth All-Star game. … Skiles bemoaned how poorly his team played against Houston on Feb. 9. Then he added a light-hearted comment. "We need a good game against them—in case we meet them in the [NBA] Finals."
