    Are crap.
    Not that I'm too dissapointed by them placing the Rockets at 19, cause it is conceivable, rather, it is their comment.

    "19. Houston Rockets (34-48): Considering the impact Steve Francis made as a rookie, plus they've added Maurice Taylor, Bryce Drew and draft picks Jason Collier and Dan Langhi in their rebuilding mold, the Rockets will be explosive but highly unpredictable as Hakeem Olajuwon plays his last season."

    This was dated as October 2nd. You would think somebody proclaiming to be all knowledgeable about basketball would know that we no longer have Bryce Drew. Even if he did write it over the last week, an organization as big as ESPN (Disney) should have interns or something to go over this stuff. ANd on top of that, even if we hadnt traded Bryce Drew, we certainly didnt add him this year and he certainly wasnt going to be one of the players to help our rebuilding process. Are they in the business of sports over there or what?

    Hey, don't be so hard on them. They had their best proof readers go over the story before they ran it. Goofy & Mickey Mouse. [​IMG]

    My god, that's pathetic. I'm going to have to write them a letter; someone should be fired for that. The biggest sports media outlet in the country and they allow a thing that shows a complete ignorance of their subject-matter into print. It's just embarassing.
