I never said yall weren't loyal because yall didn't embrace Tmac. All I'm saying is, there are a bunch of fans out there who don't know anything about basketball posting nonsense about basketball on this site. I was a fan of the Rockets even before we got Tmac and Yao. Even back in the Francis-Mobley era, or the later years of Hakeem and Barkley, when they couldn't stay healthy. I even told yall, criticize him when healthy, but don't criticize him when he's clearly hurt. That blame goes to the Rockets coaching staff for allowing him to play when he's that hurt and to the training staff for getting our injuries wrong the last few years (Yao, battier, Artest, Tmac..etc.) I'm just saying it isn't that big of a coincidence that when Tmac has a good game and a nasty dunk, all the people who saying: Trade Tmac for Deng, Trade him for Hinrich, trade him for hamilton (who is struggling this year), Tmac's a sissy, he won't drive, he can't shoot, he can't pass, he's worthless, we should've never traded for him, and the worst one of all, there were threads stating that he was BAD for us in the PLAYOFFS! I mean, he and Yao are our only brighspots in the playoffs every year we've been in it. Its always been Tmac and Yao, and no help. Last year, it was tmac by himself, with a little help from Scola. thats it. Then, yall still bring up the 1st round exits, like Tmac didn't do his part. How about placing some blame on him, which is fine, but most of it should go to our role players, not named Scola. But more importantly, blame it on the Rockets, we as a team couldn't get out of the first round, not just Tmac and Yao. I didn't say everybody was a bandwagon fan, but they know who they are. For those real fans who were offended, I wasn't talking about yall, and I apologize. But I'm just stating my opinion. I do defend Tmac, I'll agree with you on that, but only because of some of the ridiculous things that are said about him. If people criticized him fairly (when he's healthy), and not put ALL of our problems and blame on him, then there would be no problem. But, I am a Rockets fan, and as a Rockets fan, I know we need a healthy Tmac to get anywhere in the playoffs...
