Jeff Van Gundy begins lashing out early in preparation for another season - blames Yao’s injury on shoes, McGrady’s back injury on uneccessarily hard hardwood floors.

Jeff Van Gundy, the coach of the Houston Rockets said “Last year started the same way. We never got it right, and ultimately he had to have surgery. Anybody who dismisses this as something minor is overlooking the bigger problem. Why does this continue to happen? Why don’t we solve this issue yet? Somebody has to step forward with Yao’s best interest at heart.”

Shockingly, Yao’s agent John Huizinga feels something other than the company paying his client’s largest endorsement contract must be to blame

“Maybe he (Yao) is allergic to Jeff Van Gundy. For him to pick out the shoes, I don’t know what he’s talking about.” Huizinga said.
