    Sorry to start a new thread for this, however it needs to be said. So many people fail to recognize the obvious.

    The Rockets are not playing T-Mac not because of the insurance money but because of T-Mac.

    Think about these facts:
    Les is a great owner. Money is not an issue, he does not run the team like the Astros. He runs them to win, he is not afraid to make a splash.

    T-Mac:Is he ready teh doctors say no, teh Rockets say no, T-Mac says yes. He is trying to get back on the court fast because it is a contract year and he needs something to show so he doen't make crap next year.

    Most importantly they are not playing him because last year when they were looking at trades, when they said he needed rest, Dr. T-Mac took it on himself to find a doctor that would mysteriously tell him what he wanted to hear.

    That action showed one thing to me and probably the same thing to the Rockets. When he did that he said he was bigger than the Rockets. I love the Rockets orginization not the players, I route for teh players but once there gone so is my allegience to them. Orginazation>Player.

    I'll admit it. I am a T-Mac fan. Could he help the team this year, maybe, he didn't last year but this is a differnet year. I salivate at the though of a healthy T-Mac and a healthy Yao fresh at the end of a season. But no one player is bigger than the orginization, maybe its time to let the young guys develop.

    Bash me all you want for starting another thread about this over talked about topic but I have read countless threads and have not seen some of these points expressed.

    The Rockets need a good fight to change all the topics from T-Mac :)

    Everyone knows it's because T-Mac himself made too much inconsistency, mess, the disrespect to teammates, coaches, teams, even now to the owner.... etc..

    Even Ron said one year with Rox was very challenging.

    it seems you just knew all. Its good to be T-Mac's fan ;) ;)

    You mean T-Mac is the king, Ron is the clown?

    That's why you started this kind of thread? :grin: :grin:

    Unnecessary to start a new thread for this. You've been around since '99?

    Well, nice to meet you, RocketSiv. I still think you POV could've been added to any of the other numerous threads on this subject and I think you do too, since you opened up your thread title w/'Sorry...'

    u're right
    T-Mac really needs to become modest and has to respect the organization
    no more drama
