the painful irony

From tomorrow's Chronicle:

' Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich has monitored Lewis' progress with interest.

"He's good now. The sky's the limit for him," Tomjanovich said. "He's athletic and can shoot the ball. The kid's got a lot of heart. He's got a lot of pride."

Tomjanovich is also impressed with the way Seattle has been winning. Rather than slump with the loss of key players to injuries, the Sonics are making a serious run at a 50-win season and their second playoff berth in three years.

And they are doing so with a smaller lineup.

"After some injuries, people might have said they would be one of the teams that would have dropped down," Tomjanovich said. "They've done a great job of separating themselves and getting into solid playoff position. I think they are playing as well as anybody." '


The most horrible, and damning, thing about this "commentary" is that Rudy doesn't even see ANY f'ing irony in it.
