Does anybody edit the sports section?
Here are the worst three paragraphs to appear in the sports section of a major daily newspaper in a while, courtesy of the Chronicle's Rockets beat writer Jonathan Feigen:
More than the scoring, more than the passing, beyond the decision-making that has guided the Rockets through more than two months without Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady looked more irreplaceable the night the Rockets had to replace him.
They never shot worse this season, never scored less, never took a more disheartening loss than Monday's 77-72 loss at Toyota Center to the Boston Celtics, losers of 12 consecutive road games and 22 of their previous 23.
But all that the Rockets were missing only began with Yao and McGrady out with flu-like symptoms.
Good gawd, that is bad, especially that last sentence.
Professional writers should be able to do better than this, even when it's late and their editors have apparently gone to bed.
