Ok so do we give Tmac another year, or shop him this summer?

    If we lose this series, obviously the odds are def against us, then is the official end of Tmac in Htown? I have heard alot of people say he gets a free pass this postseason because of the lowered expectations. But his faults ultimately revealed themselves. He is a super talented player who is so ridiculously unreliable in clutch situations. Missed ft's, a lack of interest in playing D(cept for G2), jumpshot happy, a total lack of offseason conditioning that shows because he looks slow out their. This man will make u feel so sorry for him in his postgame speeches bout "i tried..." or the whole "blame me" thing from the other day. I love this team guys, so do is it in our best interest to hang on to TMac, or shall we ponder what is out their? I can tell u that with Denver losing, and George Karl being done, i think AI and Carmelo will soon be possibilities.

    Keep him, but control his minutes more and we definitely need a bit more help while maintaining our key and core players. Tracy is an extremely talented all-rounder and will help the team if we keep his legs fresh and his mind motivated.

    So let me see, Melo and A.I. can't get it done with their team being healthy with all that talent around but yet you want them over T-mac? Maybe I misread. All I know is when T-mac goes to the bench our offense looks confused out there. Trading him would be stupid, building around him and Yao would be better.

    In fact, it depends on whether Tmac wants to stay in Houston or goes to another team for an extended contract. After all, his contract is only two years left, and it seems the rockets won't extend his contract this summer.

    Give him another year, and hope they can keep healthy next season.

    I think you got to trade tmac or yao, cause they just get hurt to much.

    At what age did Dream win his first? His second? Was the team healthy for the first at least?

    T-Mac stays one more, minimum. If he and Yao can stay healthy, then it will be time for real.

    But again I say, "This season ain't over yet." ;)

    BELIEVE IT!

    Get the third scorer. A penetrating point guard that can make shots consistently when left open. They can be one and the same or two different players, I don't care.

    For both players! That is even more ridiculous let alone not even possible salary cap wise.

    unless suns are offerring nash + expiring/non-guaranteed contracts + picks. i'd rather the rockets kept him. i think they will too. when t-mac's contract expires the rockets will be able to bid for lebron.

    Look

    I don't know what the expection on Tracy Mcgrady is for this series. But I don't get why you guys are so down on a guy that has had to work his hardest for points in a 20 game stretch before the playoffs with Yao out, the Battier out, then Rafer out, and Landry out. I really don't. I don't want to make excuses for him, but in all honestly I don't see a person that hasn't been worked more then anyone else in the Western Conference. In fact I haven't seen a squad work harder then ours during the regular season and the post season either. We were due to run out of steam.

    Dallas? New Orleans? San Antonio? Suns? LA? Nuggets? UTAH????

    His been worked, the squads been worked. And we are still competitive. Has any squad has it as bad as ours?

    We were lucky even to be in the playoffs.

    1st off Denver isn't trading Melo, maybe A.I. but not Melo, 2nd off I'd rather have T-mac over the both of them. Melo just admitted the whole team quit in a home game against the Lakers. All our players fought hard tonight in one of the toughest places to play.

    If Melo or A.I. was traded here people would b**** they shoot too much or they don't play defense. Give me Mac over the both of them.

    Please trade Mac. I don't wanna see him staying teammates with someone who constantly sets him up. Even one look at that jerk makes me wanna puke.

    With Yao... This teams beats the Jazz in 5. Everything that makes McGrady a horrible 1st option makes him an ideal 2nd option.
