    Tracy was selected by CNNSI's Paul Forrester as a starter for his "Anti-All-Star" Team:

    Given his statistical decline and frequent absences, and the Rockets' 12-6 record without him, criticism of the seven-time All-Star has become increasingly pointed. Teammate Ron Artest recently challenged McGrady to improve his "inconsistent" defense, and earlier this season some in the Houston media accused T-Mac of quitting on the Rockets during a bad loss at Toronto. Slowed by a knee injury, the 29-year-old McGrady is shooting a career-worst 38.8 percent from the field and his scoring average of 15.6 is his lowest since 1999-2000. There was no better example of his lack of explosiveness than last week's botched breakaway dunk at Milwaukee.

    The other starters: Baron Davis (PG), Mike Miller (SF), Shawn Marion (PF), Samuel Dalembert (C)

    I think all this McGrady bashing is getting quite old. Just give the guy a break. He's on our friggin TEAM. Dont you want him to get healthy so we have him for the playoffs?

    Are there any real sports writers left in this world?

    He basically gives you a paragraph summary of all the T-Mac bashing articles from the past two week. How creative! :rolleyes:

    The least he can do is add a new twist to it. . .

    Mike Miller and Dalembert don't deserve to be there. They were never allstars to begin with.

    Yeah I didn't get that point.

    But when you start an article so pointless I guess you need fillers so you can finish the article.
