    This game will show how much Tmac still want this. with Rafer gone, we may not win this game or the series, but I will be satisfied with Tmac showing heart and desire! This team is not expected to win without starting Center and Guard. Tmac has nothing to lose now.

    He kept his composure and attacked a defense like he hasn't in I don't how long. Win or lose I give him major props for how the tackled the game from the start.

    Nothing but praises tonight for the dude wearing the #1 jersey.

    I've been guilty of advocating the not-keeping-Tmac posts, but damn, he's laying EVERYTHING he's got on the line tonight.

    Major props.

    Well it looks like Tmac is completely spent, this wouldn't be a problem if Yao and Rafer were here but I wish Tmac's endurance wasn't as bad as when Yao first came into the league.

    It's as if we only have one decent player on the floor tonight.

    Oh, wait, we do. Ugh.

    It's going to be a shame when the media puts out a headline like "T-Mac fails again" rather than "Undermanned Rockets team puts up fight".

    Its not my fault. I cant see any chance to battle for the championship anytime in the near future, especially with lollerloser and yao ming.

    We are lucky if they can complete 82 together in a season.

    i'm VERY optimistic for next yr.

    can we stay healthy is the big question?

    we do have the talent to play if yao and tmac are at full health

    After last year lost at game 7. I came to my senses that while the team is built around 2 clueless superstars, we have no chance to even get close to a championship.

    To be honest, I like every player on the team besides mcgrady.

    I am not a big fan of yao ming either but I guess I need to get used to it for the next 10 years (/cry).

    Theres no need for mega superstars (So called mcgrady) to win a championship. You can trade him for a several "mediocore" players and steal some players from europe.

    Terrence Morris from maccabi tel aviv in israel, J.R Holden and Papalucas from Moscow, Iliasova from barcelona.

    Another example:

    3rd quarter game on the line, mcgrady scores nothing.

    4th quarter, garbage time, tmac starts scoring again. This is unbelievable.

    how conveniently you forget second quarter when we were in the dumps and TMac brought us back to 4 points single handedly? Now go away

    Actually, yes. When he is none existent on defense, he can rest there, and concentrate on the offensive end.

    And he did take about 5-6 shots, missed them all.

    Down by 20+ points, on a knee that needs surgery, a bad shoulder, without an mVP candidate in Yao Ming, without the starting point guard, agianst a dominant Utah team he has had a fantastic game and an excellent series. Props to t-mac

    That's a good question.
