So as a result, many have turned their attention towards the 2010 NBA Draft.

It's finally over; well, almost. McGrady clamored to play, and the Rockets finally caved in.

Dirk and Landry, What Happened? When Dirk Nowitzki drove into the lane and collided with Landry mid-air, the collision seemed rather minor. Then Dirk would bend to the floor, and blood would begin to pour. Landry seemed fine, but called to the bench, with apparent bleeding coming from his mouth, as well.

On a day in which was supposed to answer many questions, only more came afloat.

The Rockets are fully amidst the playoff picture in the Western Conference, something many analysts, and so called "experts," claimed wouldn't be the case. People are still trying to find the answers to how the Rockets continue to win without both Tracy McGrady or Yao Ming. The defense?
