    Thanks, MayoRocket. Some people let hatred blind them when it comes to certain things.

    Only because I hate all of your negativity does not mean that I give McGrady a pass. I too criticize his game but I' am not going to start making personal remarks after EVERY single bad game that he has. It get's really annoying and it's not a me defending McGrady thing. It's me running into your posts in several threads saying the same thing including threads that have absolutely NOTHING to do with McGrady.

    Right now McGrady is just simply hurting the team especially defensively. On offense we don't know what we are going to get on any given night. I would just sit him out until he is really ready to play weather it be because his injuries/ lack of effort/ or because he's out of shape.

    Rocketeer, what Disney Princess do you think best represents Tracy? I don't think he's hard working enough to be Cinderella. Maybe Sleeping Beauty.

    If he doesn't have a good offensive game, he's basically a liability right now, because his defense is even worse. If he's not feeling good, he should sit, and Adelman has to find another way to get wins while he's out, which would be good for the other players as well.

    I think this falls on Les Alexander cause he cares more about making $ than loyalty and winning.

    I believe this is the curse of the ugly uniforms and disloyalty.

    Example:

    Lakers -Magic retired as Laker

    -result -Lakers win several more championships

    Celtics -Bird retired as a Celtic
    -result -Celts won last year

    Bulls - Krause had issues with Jordan, Jordan retired as a Wizard
    -Bulls looked cursed til the end of time

    Rockets

    1. Les changed the uniforms, the Lakers/Celtics/Bulls never changed their logo or uniforms dramatically

    2. Les let Dream go. I don't care how bad Dream sucked in his last years, he built the freaking organization and saved the City

    3. Les let Calvin go. he's innocent proven in court. let him have his job back, he loves talking about the rockets

    4. Rudy T. The guy had cancer, you should have given the job to Larry Smith til Rudy T came back and said, I don't want to the coach anymore

    5. they let Turbo go. he was cool.

    ----

    Tmac for Detroit players? This seems like an awesome deal to get Billups or Hamilton or Prince or Sheed

    These players remind us of Clutch City players, tough, proven, 100% effort on both ends of the court.

    Tmac was not traded, why? I believe Les likes how much $ Tmac brings
    he attracts the dunk loving, stat loving fans who buy his shoes and jerseys

    its about money for Les. Look at the Spurs, besides Tony Parker's wife, there's no glamour player there. its about winning.

    Excellent points, tinman.

    Not sending McGrady to Detroit is going to go down as one of the biggest mistakes in franchise history.

    Also, the Pistons let Thomas and Dumars retire with the team. They won another title and dodged franchise-wrecker McGrady TWICE.

    can you give the man a chance to play with this team in the playoffs first, barring any major injuries that cost one of the big 3 guys to miss the playoffs?

    i'm just sayin.

    i can't believe the heart that tracy showed last yr in the playoffs still have you yapping, despite the loss. most stars, after their main center goes down, along with its starting PG, would have basically folded and went fishing.

    i'm just sayin.

    you're jumping to conclusions. until the tracy era ends in houston, you can't put a period it yet.

    i'm a big fan of his and im extremely frustrated by his CURRENT performance right now as is everybody else.

    but i'm willing to wager you that tracy will get pretty healthy by the end of APRIL, which is say about 5 more months from now, when the playoffs start.

    i'm willin to bet that if tmac, yao, and artest are all on the floor when the playoffs start, we'll win the first round. let's wager that bet antisonic, since you so proudly claim tmac will wreck this franchise to pieces.

    let's make a wager then. $100 whether or not we make it past the first round with the big 3 ALL playing when the playoffs start.

    i mean, i'm sure a fan like you think this is how tracy and the team will be playing by april right?

    it's my confidence in the team. i've seen "glimpses" of stretches where we do look like the best team (nearly beating boston despite 2 of the big 3 struggling, getting out to a 16pt lead in LA). we're not there yet b/c we don't have our full complement of players and not everyone is healthy and still learning.

    so nah, you wouldn't be cheating me. i'd make a bet with anyone right now this team will get out of the first round if all 3 guys are playing.

    but if i ask you, we wouldn't make the playoffs right?

    Anybody else thinks Antibrain actually is happy when Tracy struggles? That way he can come here and keep stating Tmac sux.

    We get it dude. You don't like Tmac.

    LOL. The guy seriously lives off rections from his negativity. He was probably neglected as a child and now the only attention he gets are comments like this one. He contributes nothing to this board and next time he talks about anything else besides making up cute names for McGrady, that will be the first time I know about it.
