    Great picture, that's a bunch of guys waiving towels even though they are on the bench at the end of the game. There's a 4-time DPOY who lost all of his minutes to young guys, an All star center, and a couple of guys who started at SG over the past 2 games, and I think that's our starting PF on the right edge of the picture, who played 6 minutes total tonight, too. Not sulking about playing time, not sulking about roles. No one was making the Spanoulis face on the bench.

    ill give him a chance this year, this is the first team he payed on where he is over whelmed with other playmakers. I dont think anyone on our team is solely lookin for T mac for easy points anymore like they were all last year. I expect a solid playoff run....this year... If he keeps acting all arrogant like you claim he is, then im sure someone will get right back in his face, he aint the only good player anymore. (yao is humble and quiet, i would be nicely shocked if it were him, but who knows). t mac gets so much attention from opposing teams, i love that he was our highscorer last night with only 15 points, thats shows that we are working the ball around.

    I will give you this, it has gone down but he still insits on taking afew pull up jumpers with a man on him early in the shot clock and i definatley cant stand that.

    Oh no! He chewed Scola out! He hurt his feelings!

    Wake up, man. That's a part of competition, that's wanting to win. T-Mac does a helluva lot for this team, and is supposed to be one of the leaders (along with Yao). If he's getting more vocal now, then I'm all for it. They're not catching bunnies in a meadow out there, they're playing basketball. Scola isn't going to go to the bathroom and cry in a stall because his star teammate berated him. That's part of the game, get over it.

    No Joke, though i do think it helps our team to know that they can do it without force feeding the ball to him in the 4th, thus causing massive turnovers, but once they figure that out yao will be even bigger money later in games.....

    I was in the arena. Just don't feel Rockets' offense was fluent. I was feeling that it was still JVG style offense -- let T-Mac run the offense, and he is almost the only person running the offense. (well, maybe slightly better than that)

    More guys should be involved "running the offense". Look our last two first round exits, it is not enough just to rely on T-Mac himself alone to run the offense.

    that was the worst anouncing i have ever heard. at least our anouncers are not bias. they call it like it is if its good for us or not they are truthful and call it like it is unlike the blazers announcers who suck.

    our announcers are very biased also. go to a blazers board and they're saying the same thing about bill and bullard.

    you dont think scola wants to win? scola has more competetiveness on his finger then tmac has on his whole body fool... scola is a polished veteran in europe.. one thing is is explaining things. Yao explains sh** to scola you can see but tmc is another story .. and mclazy is the last person who would have the right to chew someone else fool.. the team with out tmac gained competetiveness if you didnt notice..

    Oh, so Scola is above being reprimanded because he wants to win? Newsflash, he's still adapting. If it makes him play better, then he should be berated. All you're saying is Scola is competitive. That doesn't excuse him from making mistakes...fool. McLazy shouldn't chew someone else out? The whole board has been clamoring for him to speak up. Stop the name calling and actually think before you post. Or maybe you can ask the Rockets to write letters to each other when they have something on their minds, so as not to offend each other.

    it's not sitting him down. brooks was just playing better. the same way coach A didn't sit yao down. scola and landry were too good and we extended the lead with them.

    he has said repeatedly he'll play whoever will give us a chance to win in that SPECIFIC situation.

    Dude, at the risk of getting myself into this incredible argument you have going on, what's going on with the entire "fool" thing. Are you channeling for Mr. T or something? ;)
