    I am waiting for the "Tmac plays defense" thread.

    That is one I can get behind.

    please dont call that a dunk, hes nowhere near back, when he starts doing this again hes back,

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AKOCy9R-h2A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AKOCy9R-h2A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    he NEVER will be able to jump like this again, i wish it was possible but no way hes lost so much athleticism in the last 2 years, after that knee surgery ive seen him dunk only once. I wish i could find a video of him missing that WIDE OPEN ALLEY OOP. I'm confident he'll gain some vertical back, look at wade he was the in the same position as tmac and came back jumping as high as ever, but to say hes back to doing dunks that were 3 years ago its just not possible

    Proper blame can be put in Brooks+Alston's combined 4-19 shooting, & Artest's 3 for 10.
    McGrady Blame is just as lazy as his stated lack of defense.

    lol, he's in better shape, but he isn't 100% you could tell when he failed to get 3 alleys jumping off the left leg, that will come with time. i think it was a confidence thing, i don't think in 2 weeks he gained enough strength to dunk, run, and such, i think he was afraid to because he was feeling pain, and usually pain is your body's way of telling you somethin ain't right. hopefully he continues to get better we'll need him in the playoffs!

    Why do Rox fans only concentr8 on one person or one play or one ref, and put all the blame on ONE thing. This is a TEAM game, the team lost. In the game thread ppl were bashin T-mac for the last shot. BUT why does he not get the praise for the points he put up and his high fg% that helped build the lead. I would say he was playin very well until the 4th. And he not only messed up the WHOLE TEAM messed up n the 4th.

    People still Bash T-mac even though he played a lot better than the rest of the roster did today. Rafer had as many shot attempts as YAO n that game. Yet no1 hates on him. Artest has had consistently low fg% all year yet people hate on McG more. It's sad to see all the fans try to pinpoint all the problems on ONE player.

    WE need to pinpoint the problems on the ONE team. People need to weather the storm and focus. The team has to have some continuity to grow together since this is only the 3rd game we have had the entire roster intact

    Tmac's dunk over Shawn Bradley was just plain NASTY. Those were the good old days.

    Look, if I suited up in a Rockets uniform, and played hard, and got my head handed to me, wouldn't the fans hate me. I would cause the team to lose.

    TMac is doing the same thing (not to the same degree, of course).

    Also, he is not playing hard. He is not fighting through screens. He is not running back on D. He is not moving on O. He is not rotating. He is not closing out. Clear enough?
