    TMac definitely looked heavy set. He wasn't very friendly but was down to take a picture cause he saw Jay-Z hold up the shirt during the show.

    This was the show in Houston. He was in the lower level.

    Steve Francis was middle, front row, floor. haha

    he was not the main reason for it, he was part of it.
    i remember that's when we notice landry, scola, brooks etc
    that's when we notice it wasn't 2 players getting the ball all the time to score.

    did he win any playoff series for the rockets? or hell any team he played for?

    It tells you a lot that ATL is willing to sign TMAC to replace Crawford.

    I expect good play out of TMAC next season. He showed glimpses last year, and a little more consistency. He'll be better this upcoming season.

    Im a big critic of TMac, but his starting PF and SG for the Mavs series which was rigged were Ryan Bowen and David Wesley... and not much help in the Utah series when your 6th man is Luther Head and Yao becomes irrelevant most the series

    Not the main reason for 22-game win streak.

    Main reason for playoff losses.

    tinman logic, fantastic.

    when he was part of the JVG teams, he represented much of the offense.

    TOF logic = McGrady > TEAM

    so why did we pay him $25 million a year?
    why did he and Rick Adelman not get along?
    why did the Rockets win a playoff series when McGrady was out?
    why did we trade him?
    why did Orlando trade him?
    why did he leave Toronto?
    why did New York not resign him?
    why did he not resign with Detroit?

    So TOF,

    why did he get paid so much money?
    Kobe got paid a lot of money and he got a bunch of playoff wins and championships

    we should have gotten Kobe.

    The Hawks had a REAL exciting player who was vastly superior and was a bigger star than McGrady

    Wait, let me get this straight:

    But right before that, you said:

    Representing much of the offense = McGrady > TEAM

    So therefore, tinman logic = TOF logic?

    tinman = TOF? Well I'll be damned.

    Well Tmac is with another team, it would thoughtful for his fans to learn about the great legends of that team.

    What happened at the end of the season for Detroit? The players and coach didn't get along.

    will Tmac turn the team to the Atlantis Hawks?

    long winning streak, if you actually watched it was a team success.

    JVG and Rick Adelman are different coaches.

    Did you know that?

    TOFs love JVG cause Tmac got the rock all the time.

    TOFs hate Rick the Ruler cause he made it motion like the ocean

    I'm a Tinman Only Fan too like you guys!

    So was the 2008 first round exit a team failure? ;)

    So I guess every other coach apart from JVG would have posted up Ryan Bowen or done iso-sets with Rafer Alston at the top of the key?

    We lost a 7 game series to the Jazz, which we had home court and we were favored to win.

    One of the worst losses in Rockets history.

    There was NOBODY that was CLUTCH.

    JVG is to blame, he had too much faith in Tmac and Yao, so he got canned.

    The Tmac era is over in Houston, there were some good memories, but in the grand scheme of things, it was only slightly better than the Steve Francis Era.
