Who injured tmac? He came to the rockets with a history of injuries. yao? He never had issues until Tim Thomas fell on his foot
I didn't tarnish tmacs legacy. Tmac tarnished his legacy . For the rockets ? When some one posted will tmacs number be retired by the rockets, clutch posted a Yao laughing pic.
What that I mentioned all the scenarios you posted were hypothetical? You forgot to mention we won a playoff series with Yao and artest You forgot to mention the team had a stronger chemistry and bond without him. And you forgot to mention the rockets and tmac wanted to depart ways. Anything else I left off?
I didn't say you tarnished his legacy. A little comprehension will go a long way Tinman. I laughed when I heard someone suggest we retire Yao's jersey too. What's your point?
The common sense is the what I post about tmac is true and you don't like it. Did I say tmac poisoned Brock with ricin? No. Tmacs legacy with the rockets was his responsibility. His results on the court, his dealing with the coaches and organization and everything he said to the media. You can point out his great performance in game 6 vs the mavericks, but you can purposely leave out the game 7 40point blowout. Tmac said on espn first take said something like "we didn't show up" Who's the leader of that team? Who said this team goes as far as I take it?
Your forgetting that in that series with Portland our roster was deeper than any of the years before. Brooks/Lowry Artest/Wafer Battier/Barry Scola/Landry Yao/Deke/Hayes Was deeper than any team tmac had. Every player actually contributed in the playoffs.
Yao's number is getting retired. http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2012/11/houston-rockets-will-retire-yao-mings-jersey/ A little fact research goes along way downtown sniper
Look at the box score of game 7 and tell me that was Tracy's fault. LOL. Nobody even scored double digits other than tmac and yao
So if Tracy mcgrady was the key piece that puts the rockets over the top, why did we trade him? Oh why was he in Chicago with Tim Grover and on talk radio with Jim Rome that playoff run too?
Threads like this are the reason Tinman has 37k post. Why couldn't this just be messaged? T-Mac was good when he was good, he was bad when he has bad. Nothing else to say about it other than he had his moments.
They lost another game 7 to Utah , so they fired Jvg and replaced him with adelman who brought his own players who fit his style. How did that go? Are the rockets suppose to help tmac win a playoff series or the other way around? I'm so happy we got Dwight Howard, his Orlando legacy was much better.
That team was great cause it didn't have tmac. Proof was in the results. Ron artest running into the Toyota center crowd. Oh your theory of adding tmac to a stacked team worked, look at the spurs last year . Tmac didn't have to score a point and they almost won the finals. I blame the spurs for not helping tmac.
I'm aware of this champ. I get where you're going with try to use my own words against me but unfortunately I'm not 7 - and it doesn't affect me. But one question I have. I didn't come in here claiming Tmac was better then Yao. Nor did I come in here claiming ANYTHING about Yao. I pointed out your hatred for McGrady based on a couple of plays is ridiculous. So why are you now responding with Yao this Yao that? Tinman. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YAO.
The team has to at least contribute to win a playoff series, do you expect two players to only score in double digits and win?tmac played his heart out in 08, he took pain killers or something like that.
We had one of the best win streaks in nba history with adelman and Yao was injured the majority of the games. Yao didn't even play in the 08 playoffs
