    I do. He made the team exciting for quite a few years.

    13 in 33....

    22 game winning streak (was part of it).

    The points he put up in the playoffs....that dunk on Bradley.

    Forgiven.

    It ultimately might have been for the best that we didn't get Vince Carter. So maybe we should stop holding the micro-fracture thing against him.

    I'm still bitter about the way it ended, but he and Yao made the franchise relevant again, so that's a positive in my in my book. Unfortinately, despite some good memories, that era was a waste. I guess overall, I'm indifferent about Tracy.

    It's a blowout game. His time might worth more than watching our 3rd unit for 8 minutes.

    Don't we have Patrick Patterson to forgive first?

    Injuries aside, McGrady was more gifted. He came out of high school 6-7 with a 7-2 wingspan. He was lengthier making him faster. His ability to play the 2-3 and guard 1-4 made him valuable. If I'm a good GM I would get him the players he deserves.

    In the NBA team success blinds fans of individual talent. 5 McGrady's would own 5 Kobe's.

    The year is 2013-2014. GM Tinman just got hired. He trades everyone for cap space.

    He signs Vernon Maxwell, Otis Thorpe, Ralph Sampson, among the others. Mario is kinda busy. Scotty Brooks is kinda busy, Sam Cassell is kinda busy. Kenny Smith retains his Turner role.


    Sorry tin, those guys aren't going to win games in 2013-2014.

    Deal with it.

    I agree with this. He didn't meet my expectations either.

    I don't hate him for that though (not implying that you do).

    Seeing him tonight has made me forgive him. The way it ended made TMac look selfish and lazy. It felt like he just quit on the Rockets and just wanted to leave. I was wrong I can now say for sure he cares about the Rockets and he only wants them to get better.

    Now TMac can you forgive me for ripping up your jersey? I regret it now :grin:

    Dont be surprised if his jerseys ends up in the ceiling at TC

    One more point about TMAC...put TMAC in his prime with Daryl Morey and his ingenuity...and I can guarantee that TMAC wouldve atleast had a chance at a title...

    Ultimately his body failed on him...the weight of carrying bad teams for so long fell hard on TMAc's back and knees...

    That's 5 players refusing to play in the Toronto game.
    5 players who can never play at least one full season.
    That's 5 players who tell Stephen a smith whwn they get knee surgery
    That's like $100 million salary Morey has to trade away

    What's there to forgive him for... getting injured?

    Is it time to forgive Yao too?

    I would sign kevin durant and lebron and derrick rose.
    All who are much better leaders and have accomplished more than tracy.

    So you aren't showing up to Austin to see hudgens and gomez at the red carpet? They are confirmed.

    A healthy scorer would have helped against the Lakers.
    I'm not a fan of Carter, but he's proven himself as being reliable and healthy

    Like I said, injuries aside I would draft T-Mac over Kobe. T-Mac was more talented, but Kobe is better.

    So you mean REAL Rockets fans. And those from a REAL Rockets message board didn't boo t-mac and actually gave him a warm reception?

    And the city of a former team of his gave him respect?

    Damn who would have thought..

    Eat your heart out tinman.
