    Tracy McGrady could beat Kobe in his Prime. Too bad, his injuries though.

    Thank you for being a real rockets fan.

    I remember that a new hero stepped up each game and yes you are right, Tracy didn't play all 22 games.

    His fans desperately want it give him credit for something.

    Also he quit on the rockets in the Toronto game.

    The significance was that it was him, our highest paid most talented player and supposedly leader.

    He had to go. He went Andrew Bynum.

    Amazingly dearly morey got some value out of him in a trade.

    History proves his game was in absolute decline and was definitely not worth superstar money.

    Thanks for the memories tmac. Enjoy retirement.

    You're all too dumb to provoke tinman. Just quit.
    One thing TMac delivered was hope that made tinmann shiver in the night.. ..which is what none other post-TMac Rockets team delivered. And he is rightfully pissed.

    Now, we all know TMac would be full of **** if he lost to Harden. What scares me is that if Harden would loose to TMac, he wouldn't even care.. because he would be too happy with that contract of his..

    I regret what could have been with TMac and Yao. My signature was all about that time period. If they win, then we can just forget all the BS, BUT...they didn't.

    Tracy is appreciated, and sometimes I think overly so and sometimes not as much as he should be. He was truly a great talent and gave Houston a lot of good memories, and unfortunately bad ones too.

    But Yao...man, feels like he's always underappreciated. I mean he avgd 19 pts, 9 rebs, 2 blocks, while shooting over 80% from the ft line, and over 50% from the field with great touch. And he was so darn likeable!

    Hahaha. That's hilarious. And way off. If we had Tmac instead of harden we would have a much better regular season and very little hope in the playoffs. We would go into a game 7 but with the game on the line Tmac would try to lean on Howard in the end rather than finish the job. He'll still have great stats but will lose in the first round.

    Hahahahaha! If Harden had a hard time with Paul George, T_Mac would destroy him!! Or did you mean it the other way around. :)

    As a die hard Rockets fan, I say thank god there was only one T-Mac and good riddance. Never before has there been a more talented player who has achieved less than T-Mac. On that note, has there EVER been a player as talented as T-Mac who has achieved just as little?

    TMac was a soft pre-madonna who quit on the team on multiple occasions. Quit praising this man like he did anything significant for the team.

    Sounds like you have more of a problem with T-Mac fans than McGrady himself then.

    How in the he&& he quit in that one game. I don't see you calling Brooks a quitter when he walked to the locker room during a game when he was pi88ed. I don't see you calling Harden a quitter for not giving up on plays.

    Yes the entire team stepped up during that 22 game winning streak. You talking about keeping it real huh, well tell who stepped up their game in the playoff's during those Utah and Dallas series.

    Injuries plague this man's career. Plus JVG rode him and Yao until the wheels fell off. Since we keeping it 100 up in here. 2-5 offense was killing this team..bwhahahahaha

    Tmac is not a Rocket, this belongs in the Dish where it can be beaten to death, again. Quit putting this garbage in the GARM as it has nothing to do with today's Rockets.
