    Why would Steve getting injured be Steve's fault?

    McGrady was a much better player than both of them - a once in a generation type of player. When he isn't even capable of putting up 20/5/5 anymore at the age of 29, people are going to get mad.

    the only thing i'm mad about is that he hasn't been playin any defense lately which may mean that he's not completely healthy. he is capable of 20/5/5 but not when he won't sit out and get healthy first.

    Tracy is one hell of a question mark. As many would say; he is capable of doing this, he is capable of doing that. Right now, he is capable of very little. Although his efforts are slightly off peak, I absolutely refuse to deny that he is a bigger part of our future success. Patience....

    Maybe T-mac should start missing team workouts like Francis was rumored to do. :rolleyes:

    You mean like recently operated knee and busted back..... :)

    Tracy will never be Houston's favorite son. He is our A-Rod, talented but never won anything meaningful.

    Yes...When Francis was here and playing well (before the trade), you could never question his effort on the floor. No matter how bad he was shooting, turning the ball over or whatever, Francis never quit...he found another way to contribute, something Tracy has forgotten.

    Think the Grizz would take on McGrady's contract? Francis can get us four points on 2/9 easy!

    Man oh man...I had a long post earlier in this thread about how Tracy has always played smart, and despite disappointment, never put himself above the team in contrast to Francis. I've had a harder and harder time believing that lately and last night confirmed my worst fears. Tracy is now openly putting himself above the Rockets.

    We are obviously talking about two people who are no longer here. Francis was traded and t-mac is always hurt. Why dont we discuss another player who could make up for both of these failures? Then maybe we would be alright:)

    Francis gives an effort despite declining skills. T-mac stands there like a f-cking statue and appears to care less at times. Watch a rockets game next time and count how many times he runs around as opposed to just stand there.

    Mcgrady=more talent and less effort
