    Lets take our losses now. He needs to be healthy for us to do anything. Please do not come in this road trip and rest your back.
    PS. DEREK ANDERSON AND RAFER ALSTON pleases show up to play once

    Agreed,

    Though I like the way Rafer is playing, but he needs to do more. He needs to go to his and 1 side, though a lot of posters are gonna start arguing why he isn't passing to Yao more, I think for now it's good for this team with T- Mac hurting.

    Yes, sit T-Mac and let him rest.

    Let Yao sack up and put up some monster numbers. At first he'll struggle. At first he will try to "involve" all his teammates. But after a while, when Yao realizes he is virtually alone out there w/o T-Mac, he will finally take charge. He will be, not just a man, but THE man.

    I'm willing to take a couple of Ls for that to happen.

    I agree. That back isn't going to get any better by playing in spurts. Just let him sit. Heck, I was already upset that he came back after eight days when he was supposed to be out for three weeks. Most of us here could already tell he was not 100%.

    I started a thread a few days before the NJ game last week asking the same question: "Sit him and let him rest or play now so we win."

    People wanted him to play now.....seems like maybe we should have a healthy T-mac rather than just any T-Mac

    I'm not pretending to be a trainer or someone with inside knowledge, but it looks to me like he could use some time to heal up. I mean, if they had to fly in a masseuse to work on the back all day before the Spurs game why is he trying to come back and play THE NEXT DAY? It's so obvious that he has no lift right now. T-Mac needs to get right so the Rockets can get back on track.

    Umm... if you're talking about this poll, according to memory (and the link below), the strong majority (myself included) wanted him to sit until healthy.

    Yeah, truly. We should have a healthy TMAC rather just a TMAC.

    That's just the thing though. Even if he plays now, we still won't win. We need him at 100%.
