What is the Houston Rockets’ path to contention?
For as long as I’ve been watching this team, especially since the time I’ve been covering it here on this page, in the minds of the fans and Houston sports commentariat, there has been some understood path towards contention. As far-fetched as the plan may have been, its existence was settling, evidence of greater hope and a sense of direction. Hakeem, Clyde, and the gang would hold on for one last run. Steve, Cuttino, and then Yao would grow into a power, and then after them, McGrady and Yao – maybe they’d stay healthy. Later, the hope was to pair Chris Bosh with Yao, but we know how that ended, and we’re still waiting after all these years to get back that iPad.
