I didn't forget, but Nice Rollin' must've forgot where the apostrophe goes in y'all. He also must've forgot that we like our threads here to be worth reading.
the next person who says we shouldn't be worried and not talking trade needs to be a back surgeon who has seen t-mac personally. other than that, the topic is fair game.
I understand the whole pesimism here, but just can't understand why so many concentrate on TMac's health. The real problem is that a real championship team should be able to win more than 4 games without their main star. I didn't like "I must be top scorer" mentality of Mike James, but I think it would have been whole a lot different year. he would be dropping his 20 ppg and we would have been a playoff team and we could use him before the deadline for a good SNT. It's just that I don't blame organisation for this move, but James could have been utilized much better.
People can post. Just make sure that the thread is worth starting, otherwise there are plenty of other threads that it can go into. I don't think anyone wants this place to turn into the ESPN boards where there are pages upon pages of redundant or insignificant threads that don't get any replies.
It's not like "veterans" want these "newbies" to stop posting, it's just that they're either saying stuff that's already been done or just plain idiotic text. Pretty pathetic the way I see it, always reading about "newbies" and how immature they are.
As much as I would hate to see T-Mac go, it is true his back is a *huge* concern for the franchise. That being said, I think the Rockets' management will find a way for T-Mac to get his back normal again. I wouldn't mind him missing ~5 games a season (for any reason) but we really need him to be healthy. Keep T-Mac, and if you're going to trade him, please trade him to the GSW so's I can see him more often. Oh, and who would disagree that it would be better to trade T-Mac for all quality role players instead of another superstar? If we got another superstar, we would be left with the same problem we had even with T-Mac, and that is bad role players. That's just my opinion. Don't trade T-Mac.
How soon we forget, indeed. Name the last Rockets player, other than Hakeem, whom you could point to at the beginning of the 4th quarter and say, "That guy's going to bring this game home for us." A guy you didn't have to stand up out of your chair and shout encouragement to, because you knew he was a man, and he'd take over the game, and you could just sit there on your *** and watch it happen. Tracy McGrady's back is more reliable than all the fans ready to stab it.
*Sniff* Good sh*t Will. That's the best post I've read in a while. That last line is nothing short of amazing. Keep T-Mac, because he works more wonders than Steve Kerr.
