    Yeah. Morey and Les are part of the Rockets. Respect what they will be doing in terms of Tmac's contract situation.

    No one has labeled this team as contenders. Heck they are not even expected by the pundits to get into the playoffs. But most of all their combined salaries do not amount to "It's on me" McGrady.

    Give McGrady a rest, he's been in the league for about 11 years and the best he can show for all that plus his big money is one and out. You can make up all the excuses for him but the record is what it is.

    Don't forget to keep all your fingers and toes crossed until the trade deadline.

    I think Tmac's current salary is paid by an insurance company till Feb if he doesn't play. The team is winning. I cannot see why the rockets want him to play soon unless there is a major injury.

    Did I say Tracy is to keep under any circumstances? This is a business. I acknowledged what he has done for the Rockets and I am regretful that he failed at times as talented as he is.

    I expect everything and anything. I still like Tmac as you do with Von. It's a wash.

    No, the starting SG on the Rockets........I expect someone else to step up and lead.

    Because we know one thing for sure....for certain, stone cold lock.

    Tmac....will NEVER lead a team anywhere.

    There are two distinctive styles to this debate:

    I will break down the two arguments as succinctly as possible:

    1. 0-7 Playoffs, Selfish, Volume scorer, Injury Prone, Weak-minded

    2. Hope & Change


    My opinion?

    You can crap in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first. :rolleyes:

    personally i'd like to see tmac playing 15 minutes a game, the last 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter to warm up and then the 12 mins in the 4th quarter to help the rockets close out games. Let's face it people rockets have no 4th quarter closer or go to guy, as witnessed in the laker game the other day.
    If you put tmac in fresh against some tired defenders, could be a good situation for him

    You're happy about a winning streak? You have low expectations.

    What good is a winning streak when we could'nt get out of the first round.

    I agree, Camby an excellent locker room guy too. Our team is built like 04-05 Pistons we need somebody in there to play that Ben Wallace enforcer.

    Biedrins Golden State is loaded at the 1-2-3 spots i think. If they move Jackson maybe they will consider it. Biedrins good up and down the court guy who will put bodies on people.
