    its funny, tmac gets so much crap here for giving up a fast break dunk in TOR. he was forever labeled as somebody who quit on the team. "he lost the city" but james harden does this like every other game, in half court sets!! LOL and its not nearly the same outrage.

    i still like both but its hilarious what goes on here.

    - T-Mac gets hated on because of his diva attitude
    - T-Mac gets hated on because he has never won a single playoff series (name a single player with his talent that has underachieved as badly)
    - T-Mac gets hated on because he didn't just quit on the Rockets; he quit on both the Raptors and Magic too
    - T-Mac gets hated on because he never wanted to even try to be a leader
    - T-Mac gets hated on because of all his antics his last couple of years on the team, including taking himself in and out of games
    - T-Mac gets hated on with how he handled deciding on surgery and how he announced it (went around the FO)
    - T-Mac gets hated on for insisting he was 100% recovered, even when everyone outside of him and Glover were saying otherwise
    - T-Mac gets hated on for accusing the FO of purposely benching him to cash in on insurance money and then exposed himself for being not ready

    So yeah... T-Mac doesn't NOT get hated on JUST BECAUSE of the Toronto game. That game was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. Despite Harden's poor attitude this season, he has already accomplished far more in his young career than T-Mac has ever accomplished in his lifetime as a player.

    When was the last time we hold the opponent to 80points?

    Probably around the same time when we struggled to score 80point ourselves.

    did you forget that all rockets fans and the city of houston voted tracy mcgrady to the houston rockets all-decade team of the 2000's?

    tracy mcgrady's legacy is forever etched in the history of the houston rockets and this was chosen by THIS CITY and HIS FANS.

    how MAD does this make you???

    That team would be a title contender every year, too bad the Francis we ended up re-signing was washed up and overweight.

    Exactly my experience!

    The added bonus? My friend from San Antonio (HUGE Spurs fan) was in town. He was talking smack towards the end, went out to smoke with just over 1 minute left as I pouted on the couch. He came in as I was up from the couch yelling with my hands up. Until Brown lost the ball, I didn't think we could win (although to that point all under 1min was amazing of course).

    He was so upset. It was the best.

    nope, the spurs did not hand us anything. t-mac WENT AND GOT IT for us. the spurs made every free throw down the stretch and we STILL won.

    clutch city baby!

    You're saying Yao, T-Mac, Battier, Scola, and a Francis in his prime wouldn't be competitive?

    OK buddy.

    Harden plays SG and TMAC plays SF.....

    Delusion doesn't suit you well.
