    When Shane comes back at 100%.

    IMO TMac should be paired with Brooks, Berry, Landry and Hayes as the 2nd Team.

    Why:

    1) With Ron and SHane we can set a tone defensively early
    2) Brooks needs TMAC so he won't get too out of control
    3) That will be a stout second team.

    T-Mac's still our best passer and creator off the dribble. By far. I'd be worried about our lack of dribble penetration in the starting lineup without him.

    uh NO! i like rick's rotation as it is once we get shane we'll be deep. Have the red 3s start to set the tone. Get shane in and have artest out at the 3 min. mark in the 1st. Then around 2 mins. into the 2nd qrt. get artest in and have ming and mac rest.

    Love what I've seen from Artest in the first 2 games but it's just 2 games and T-mac is still not close to 90% and he logged pretty big mins the night before, lets not get out of hand people.

    you want a guy making 21 mill come off the bench?

    like permanently? not like last year where he was coming back from injury and came off the bench a few games?

    I'm too lazy to put up the fail pics

    At least for now, there's no way T-Mac would come off the bench.

    You know your post is bad when Antisonic is the only one that agrees with you.


    Tmac is not 100% and he is playing well with less shots...leave him where he is.

    Wow. People want to bench Tmac and start AB.

    I'm as excited as the next person, but let's not get crazy here.

    Some of you guys are getting way ahead of yourselves. We have played TWO games! what do two games mean? nothing. Just because Ron and Yao had great games some of you people are saying bench Tmac? This is absurd, where would Yao and Ron get all their easy baskets from? Yao basically scores off Tmac's doubles and passing. Yao is most of the time single covered and just shoots over everyone. Yes, Ron was great last night, but the question is can he do it night in and night out? He took 22 shots yesterday, Do you think he can keep this pace up? Without McGrady's ability to pass and draw double the rockets are nothing. Tmac will come around once he starts getting his shot back. If you watch closely, most of his shots are going in and out. He usually starts off slow in the season he will get his groove back. If anything the rockets need Tmac more then anyone on the team.

    LOL

    Here's some of the genius ideas that sprang from earlier win streaks:
    Yao should come off the bench, Mutumbo should start.
    Trade Yao, all we need is Tmac
    Trade Tmac, all we need is Yao
    Tmac should come off the bench, start Luther in his spot

    but none of them compare to Tmac should come off the bench, play Ron and Batman.


    My friend, you have created the ultimate black hole of failure.

    TMac should start. He is an all star and he is the best guy in his position for the Rockets.
