    Did Tracy McGrady steal Blineberry's lunch money? What an ass.

    Hate to say it, but it's due. McGrady, at best, had a B- series and let off the gas once we were up 2-0. Yao was being mauled, but there's little excuse for McGrady seeing as Fisher and Giricek guarded him most of the time.

    McGrady was often guarded by Kirilenko too, a top defensive player. He was also frequently trapped, swarmed, and forced to give up the ball on the perimeter. He had to score, assist, rebound, and defend just for the Rockets to have a chance to win and he broke his previous career high in assists twice while averaging over his season average in scoring. I don't know why you and Franny are so hard on him. :rolleyes:

    That being said, Tmac is starting to "slip" and Yao isn't championship caliber. Trade both, fire Gundy, and rebuild. Contenders in 2011 baby!

    Probably one of the biggest b****ing session I had against the T.V. throughout the series... How the Hell do you not OWN old man Fisher who is 6-1" ???????? Common T-mac your frgiin athletic (supposedly) and this short old point guard can keep you out in the perimeter???? Atack the basket you Mot%@#F$@$^^...... God I was at game 7 and my whole section was booing at T-mac for taking jump shots and not attacking the basket.... Does anybody have the stats on his FG% in the perimeter he SUCKS!!!!!! at it...

    I could be wrong, but didn't he hit only one jumper in all of Game 7? The one in the first quarter where Mutumbo was fouled by Boozer.

    OMG I just found the stats for perimeter shooting ( 15+ Ft )

    T-mac was 2 -13 ... I mean seriously WTF we pay you to hit the bucket meaning if you have too ATTACK!!!!!!!! 2 for 13 yup we will be a contending team for years to come if T-mac can continue to shoot a horrid rate

    2-13?????!!!!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE

    And T-mac with his pea-size brain couldnt figure it out!!! Get this he was

    6 of 7 when under 15+ WoW amazing ... Who would of thunk it that if he attacked the basket he would of made more points??? Someone please pass this along to T-mac!!!!

    his FG% which I think is allready horrible is really something to be laughed at when you take away the FG attempts near the basket and focus on the outside shot... He doesn't have one !!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Funny that Fran mentioned Grant Hill in his chat. Grant Hill is someone I have mentioned a few times as someone the Rockets should target in the offseason as a 6th man. He would be a great guy to bring off the bench with length and can score on his own and create for other players.

    In my mind, a summer consisting of adding Mike James and Grant Hill would do wonders for this team. Two guys that can score, create their own shot and would help open things up for Tmac and Yao.

    I agree Deuce that would be very nice...

    Heck, I would settle for Grant Hill and getting a better V-Span.

    Tracy steals Fran's lunch money. Sounds like a bunch of girls, if you ask me. Fran's an @$$hole. Tracy just doesn't have what it takes. He missed 4 free throws in game 7, and the team missed 9 overall. That's the game.

    Grant Hill will not come. He will sign for peanuts with Magic to repay their loyalty to him

    I agree with fran that I would do tmac for kg or durant in a minute. However, I don't think either team would. Tmac is getting worse and worse each year. He's a shadow of his orlando self.

    I'd take Francis back at this point, as long as we have a coach who can work with him. Francis' heart and big shot ability and athleticism and skills are DESPERATELY needed on this squad.
