    When Tracy McGrady trade happened alot of us were happey
    to have him and believed he will carries us to quarterfinals at least.
    But with time I think it hurts us more than Orlando.
    I think loseing of Steve Francis cause for concern in the long run,Because he have a big heart.
    Steve Francis is more important than Cuttino Mobley and kato,to Rockets.
    If we send Taylor and TE with Cuttino Mobley and kato,and keep him, The Rockets will be a force in Western Conference.

    When McGrady goes off for 50 in a game real soon, you'll change your tune.

    Yup, that'll really happen, so much so I say we start a pool, Who says Mc Grady will score 50 by game 34? Any takers, anyone,I think not. We traded three players for one! One! If Francis doesn't come through at least Orlando can say "hey, we still have cuttino and kato" what the F*@K do we have?! Don't dream, its over.

    If Tracy Mcgrady goes for 50 points or something like that on many nights than what is it that differienates us from last year's Magic?
    Getting 50 pts he will need to take alot of shots and basically getting to that plateau would mean him saying fuccckk the team I am going it on my own.


    Sf scored 26 the other night and did his own thing but the rest of their team played like a team, Howard had a great game, Hill and Cat was involved as well. They played together as a Team!!!


    If T-Mac wants or needs to be hitting those high figures like last year I don't see how our other players can get any touches nor why the trade had to happen the way it did.

    Maybe getting rid of SF for some A+ PG with Yao, Cat and Cato we could have diversifed our skills and improved our team dramatically without having to soley put the weight of our future successes on just one person's shoulder, leaving the team full of holes with that unresolved A+ PG unattainable in any future horizon.

    This team needs to get into a rhythm. Team rhythm with ball movement - and I don't mean when the ball moves out of bounds.

    Yao needs more than 9 touches a game.

    I hope McGrady doesn't spin off 50. I would rather our starting five to account for double figures than a 1 man wrecking crew.

    If McGrady and Yao could both average around 22, hopefully the rest will pan out.

    We have J Howard who looks like E.T and won't score 17 and 8 this season.

    and Princess POP Tyrone Lue who can't lob a pass to a 7'6 dude to save his life.

    and don't forget the outstanding Reeces Gaines who sitting somewhere in the bleeders seat everygame becus everyone thought he had game but what he really had was pick pocket syndrome.


    So if T-mac goes down with bad backs paralysis this team chances have just be cleaned with AJAX.

    Unprotected sex can hurt you, too. Then again...there's really no such thing as it being protected.

    ::sigh::

    Steve's game does not mesh with Yao's. Cato's game does not mesh with Yao's (Mutombo is good enough as a backup). The point of this trade was to get people who fit with Yao. Cat's game fit better with Yao, but he is a free agent after this year, and lord knows how much he would cost to keep.

    The hope is that Tmac will fit better with Yao than Steve did. As of now, it's too early to tell how that's going to work. We might look worse than expected until we good some more athletic players. I'll remind everyone, this was a longterm move.
