    Wow, remember when he was getting 2 dunks a game, scoring 40+ pts again, doing something I though he couldnt do again, I guess injuries just control this guy's life. Fear is what controls his game, and he wants to shoot jumpers, but if he;s afraid to dunk, why not just attack the rim and dish it off??

    Do you remember our record in November? Do you remember losing to the freaking Miami Heat in November?

    I sure do and that is why I could care less who scores more points, as long as we find a way to win the game!

    I think he is speaking more about McGrady's level of activity, aggressiveness and athleticism. We were all ranting and raving about how explosive Tmac was at the beginning of the season.

    TMac is really settling for jumpers now. Haven't seen him attack the basket for a layup at all this game.

    Yep, team scoring and defense is more important that individual accomplishments.

    I do wish they would get him more iso's on the wing, without the pick and roll. Like Yao and the high post, T-Mac simply becomes far less effective as a scorer with the pick and roll, and his FG % which was over 45% pre injury is now down near his regular 43%.

    Oh well, he is doing everything else well and the team is winning, which is numero uno.

    he went through this stretch last yr when he came back from his back injuries.

    tmac has to go through a stretch where he feels he's confident with his body. he's still tentative now. so relax. we're winning.

    remember how badly tmac started last yr??? and how he responded later in the yr.

    after teh ASB, he'll feel rested and better.

    injuries do play with his minds b/c he has suffered through so many. ;)

    This wont do, team ball wont get us anywhere. We need Tmac to score 40 every game.

    Last two games he was excellent in every category but scoring. T-Mac the facilitator.

    The Rockets are winning ballgames. That's the only stats that matters.

    its so obvious t-mac is in a much worse mood at home than on the road. he just doesnt care at home. he doesnt even try to make his shots.
