    I was siding a bit more with the TOF crowd, but this post reminded me of all the crap T-Mac dumped on the team and Yao.

    Seriously, T-Mac deserves all the crap he gets. Unless he's playing like an all-star that he's paid to be.

    t_mac1, I'm proud of you. You're taking this in great spirits. Kudos to you.

    Many of your contemporaries have no doubt OD'd on sleeping pills by now!

    Good question. I didn't see him either, but I missed the first half due to that super duper boring 3OT game between Bulls and Celts.

    Things could get worse for them.

    Somehow Tmac comes back next year.

    Tmac plays in playoffs.

    First Round exit.

    What Rocket are they attacking, im looking at my TiVo'd game footage, I don't see this "Rocket" you speak of...

    I see the starting 5, and then when I look at the bench I see....Cook, White, Lowry, Landry, VonVon, Chuck....

    I see Joey Dorsey behind them with a suit on....

    Hey, fast-fowarding now, I even see Deke on crutches fresh off of surgery.


    Where is this Rocket "Tracy McGrady" you speak of???

    Most likely giving Pau and Kobe reach-arounds in some dark alley off of Sunset Blvd.

    lol. if any of you watched this team, you know nobody is carrying this team. this was a team effort, and this is all due to morey. he has surrounded this team with talent finally.

    had tracy and yao been surrounded with this talent the first year tracy was here, i guarantee a championship already.

    i mean it's fine to poke fun at tracy and all that. but we just won a series after so many years.

    i'm just so glad to finally have a group of role players to cheer for and proud of. the vohawk and scola are my dudes. they've been the energizers and main reasons why we won this series btw.

    I'm not into being negative about things but you have to appreciate the irony was well as the karma in this situation.

    I doubt T-mac cares about this thread being made, probably didn't even see it.

    TMac did well in H-Town. I do know that he will not be back and have accepted that a while back in the season. I wish him well with his new team.

    Nope. Trying to avoid jerks like Antisonic at the Toyota Center.

    I love you Antisonic but you are mean!

    Antisonic - thanks for sharing the best clip of the best movie ever.

    Honestly, I'm split. I'm psyched the Rox won, but at the same time we don't have our full-hand.

    What the clip doesn't show was that Jimmy Chitwood later joined the team and the team won the Indiana state Championship w/ him! T-Mac will not rejoin the Rox this season.

    As poorly as the Rox played w/ T-Mac, could you imagine the team with him right now? I hate the fact that we have to go into LA without out our best weapons. Yes, we play better as a team w/o him, but as much as I hate to admit it we probably won't make it out of the next round.

    Hope I'm wrong!

    The amount of schadenfreude exhibited around here is downright disappointing. Is hating on T-Mac that redeeming for people? Damn. Folks need to get off of that...

    could he really not be there on the biggest game of the season? wonder what held him back from this game but not game 3 or 4? I hope it really wan't because he didn't want to deal with the irony in front of everyone. that would be selfish.
