http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/Rockets__five_burning_questions.html Rockets’ five burning questions 1. Care for a doughnut? The Rockets have a 7-foot-5 hole in the middle where Yao Ming used to play. Out for the season, Yao will have to watch as Carl Landry and Luis Scola pretend they’re legitimate NBA post players? 2. Can T-Mac come back? Tracy McGrady had microfracture surgery on his left knee on Feb. 24. When the Rockets opened training camp, they did so without their scoring star and without a projected return date. Will it be Thanksgiving? Christmas? New Year’s Day? Just as important: Will McGrady be the real T-Mac when he does return?? 3. Where do they go? When games are on the line, teams always go to their best offensive player. This is how a player becomes a “go-to guy.” Well, to whom will the Rockets go without McGrady? When you don’t have a featured scorer, the choices are limitless, but none are very good.? 4. Is Ariza a riser? They pried away Trevor Ariza from the Lakers after he helped them win the title. He drops right into the spot vacated by Ron Artest. Now, with McGrady out, Ariza is going to get a chance to be a star. Can he rise to the challenge?? 5. “Tanks” for memories? Remember when the Rockets were accused of “tanking” games ahead of the 1984 draft .?.?. the one that got them in line to select Hakeem Olajuwon? You wonder if a team that begins the season without its two best players might be tempted to position itself for the 2010 draft. If the Rockets struggle early, might management be tempted to push development of young talent? - Mike Monroe
Mostly fair, but that first question reeks of sour grapes. Scola pretending to be a legitimate post up player? He has some of the most crafty and deceptive post moves in the league.
Doughnut joke was actually interesting lol. But really, San Antonio pointing out another team "tanking". How did they get Tim Duncan again?
Exactly. You beat me to it. San Antonio has no room to talk about tanking. This guy is a total homer. He's bitter that the Spurs lost Scola, and he "forgets" about the year before Tim Duncan. Despicable.
San Antonio just needs to grow up and deal with the fact that their gm traded Scola to us, didn't he just sit on the bench when he was a Spur anyway? I'm glad Morey got him though, hope he can play Tuesday.
