    Tmac had 4 points, so? Yao only had like 12.....Artest didnt do that well either. Everyone wants to talk about Tmac is sorry and can't play, then why every game he plays you all expect him to do well? If you say he is garbage then don't get mad when he messed up. Saying it's Tmac's fault that we lose is stupid. Making all the Hate/Trade Tmac threads are dumb. Are Yao and Artest supposed to be superstar status people? Why didn't they come through then? Yao couldn't even keep up with thier C last night. Artest would shoot stupid shots, then get a steal and turn it over...... But yes, that's Tmac's fault right? If Tmac wasn't playing at all till he was fully recovered, the blame would still be on him. So shut up and stop complaining that he is out there. He is trying to do all he can do to help. Yeah he hasn't scored alot of points in 8-10 games, but how many assists and other things have he got. He creates shots for the team. I guess Yao's 12 points were amazing seeing as how he missed like 5-8 shots with his hands at the rim..... My point to this is, Dont blame just one of our "big three". If you want to blame someone, blame them all. We got demolished last night. We deserved it. If you say Tmac has quit, then Yao and Artest and all the other players quit to. All of them could have asked to stay in the game in the 4th quarter even though we were losing badly. Real fans dont blame one person for a loss. RA showed that when he wouldn't comment on just Tmac. It's as a WHOLE not just one person. If you dont like how this team is going, then find a new one and go complain somewhere else.

    Yao and Artest give effort, T-Mac gives very little. Prepare to be flamed.

    There's a difference between having an off night and quitting.

    Rockets win 22 straight - Tracy gets all the credit

    Tracy 0-7 in playoff series - everyone else's fault

    Dude are you serious? Nobody expects McGrady to put up 30/10/10. We expect him at least to try. Did you even watch the game? In fact, have you ever watched a game?
    McGrady just doesn't care. He can laugh and joke when his team is down by 20 to a Eastern Conference lottery team. Yao can't. Ron can't, either. After that Jazz game when he supposedly "cries," Tmac looked like he was trying harder to pretend to be sad than he was in the game.
    If Tmac was playing his heart out last night and we lost, no one would accuse him of quitting.

    Exaggerate much?

    Rockets win 22 and the whole team got credit.
    Tmac has always gotten blamed for not winning a playoff series.

    Either way, Yao and Artest can't be blamed much for this team. Tmac is supposedly our best player and he has quit on the team. This dude in an ex scoring champion and should be ashamed of the way he is playing lately.

    I almost rather have it where he ball hogs cause he thinks he is not getting enough shot and try to put up 30 at the teams expense. That shows that he still has the talent and the drive to be the best. Quitting like he has shows 0 heart.

    I watch all the games, what do you expect him to do kill himself trying to play? If you think he is garbage why do all of yall expect big things from him?

    He wasn't limping at all. He didn't do any rehab on his knee, and now his knee isn't as strong as it was before. What does he expect? Even the doctors say he can play through it. In fact, they said that it's part of the rehab process. Tmac is just a lazy idiot.

    I would never thought that I would quote blindbury, but hes right here:

    "As for this supposedly tragic knee injury, have you noticed that Peyton Manning just won the MVP Award in the NFL. He had TWO knee operations during the off-season, one of them after McGrady. His season started in September, long before McGrady. He plays football, for crying out loud, a bit more violent. The specialist that he chose to see in Alabama, said there was nothing structurally wrong and he could do no further damage by playing on it. In fact, that doctor -- like the Rockets medical staff -- said that McGrady just had to play through the discomfort as part of the rehab process. But you keep right on giving him a hug. It's worked great so far. --Fran"

    Did you watch the game last night?


    Grady did absolutely nothing besides standing outside the three, waiting for a pass. He was worthless on D as well.

    How can you begin to blame other people? Your whole argument is based off of points, and tracy had the least points out of the 3! Yes, Yao's 12 points were alot more amazing than tracy's 4 points. Yao tried, his buckets werent falling. Tracy didnt try.

    So youre saying you like where this team is going? How the hell can you not complain or be pissed off when a man getting paid 20.3 mil to play a game sits back and doesnt do ****?

    Ok, so if you say that, then don't expect anything from him. If he puts up 4 points ago, dont worry about it, because he is a "lazy idiot". That's the point all you haters haven't got yet. If you say he is garbage then why do yall expect him to do well? If he is garbage then his 4 points shouldn't bother you.

    What kind of reasoning is this? I'm bothered by the fact that he's garbage and getting paid $20 million, not the fact that he got 4 points in one singular game. If he gave back his salary, thus freeing up our salary cap, I'd have no problems with him, because he wouldn't be associated with the Rockets anymore.

    once again, heart > everything else.

    so Yao and Artest's horrid play gets a free pass because they were trying

    how about Yao throws a dam dunk down in someones face? or out muscles someone in ....well, ANYTHING!

    Yao and Artest heart doesn't eclipse Tracy's natural talent, just like Tracy's talent doesn't eclipse Yao and Ron's effort.

    bad play is bad play, no heart is no heart. They all get the blame.

    bottom line is wins, and Yao and Rons heart aren't adding up to many wins either. This is on Adelman.
