    This game, and the game vs Atalanta (even we lost that one) just showed us how good and competitive this team can be without T-mac.

    WHY CAN'T WE JUST LET TMAC TAKE HIS TIME AND REST ON THE BENCH UNTIL THE END OF FEBURARY?

    I think in order for T-mac to heal, he has to play and put some pressure on the knee, otherwise he'll never get better...

    what we should do, is just have him come off the bench and play bench minutes until, he's back to normal... and then work him into the rotation...

    im glad you mentioned this, there were a couple of times when he just stood his ground against pierce and played solid D...PROPS TO WAFER!! we all know Tmac would have been a liability last night. Last night was PROOF. Do not play an unhealthy or unmotivated Tmac!

    That is one thing I hoped Wafer would do before the game started, which is not to fall for Pierce's pump fakes and just stand in front of him. He has high potential. He needs a lot of work to understand the Team D concept , but I think the more he plays the better he'll get.

    I think he lost the ball at the rim, but either way that was embarrassing

    I've argued with you for a while about Tracy, but you are right this time.

    Incredible defense by Chuck Hayes. He's still very valuable for this team because of his defense. If it's Scola, Garnett would have screwed him.

    with a healthy T-MAC, ROX is better, but now, it's not.

    That is the big concern this season. Can TMac come back this season and contribute. It has been 8 months since his operation, do the Rockets gamble everything and stick with TMac or do they really gamble and trade TMac. I will support the Rockets either way. This team was built to win it all this season. TMac needs to snap out his funk and see that this his is best chance he will ever have.
