    Now that we know (for sure?) that McGrady is out for the season, I have on question in my mind and I'm curious to know how most of you would respond.

    Say the Rockets win it all this year:

    Does/Should McGrady get a ring as well?

    Why shouldn't he? He's part of the team and we can't really blame him for being injured if he really is injured now. Maxwell got a ring back in 95 when he left the team, didn't he?

    I know that he technically should, but I want to know if people on the forum think so too.

    Anyone who said he shouldnt are just being spitefull. Just because he is injured he shouldnt get a ring? What about the playoffs last year when he was putting up great numbers(once again) without Yao? What if we would have won it at last year without Yao? You think that Yao shouldnt get a ring? If you think Mac shouldnt then you are just a a-hole. T-Mac has been the best player on this team since he got here beside this year. And this how you treat someone who has been your best player. Some say he didnt try but name 1 player on the last 3 playoff rosters who played with more effort and had as much production as T-Mac. I know its been awhile since weve had success in the playoffs. But you dont S#!T on the player who's got you closer to advancing more than anyone else has in the last 10 years. Some of you fake HOU fans make me sick.

    He won't get credit for getting the Rockets out of the first round,
    but he will get a ring.

    Him having an injury does'nt justify him not getting a ring. He is part of the team like it or not!!

    Well...
    If I were McGrady, I'm obviously very frustrated at the moment and understand MOST of the criticism I've received.
    I don't think I could accept the ring in his place.
    I would think he would want to actually earn it.

    Different tone. #2 being more neutral,passive.
    While #4 is direct and harsh.



    Technically, i know McGrady will get the ring if we win. I only made this poll to see how the fans would react to this situation if ever it happened.

    He's hard working guy and has been doing it all all by himself for this team the past 4 years,if we could still make a run deep into the playoffs,even the Finals,I should say,he really deserves the ring of world champ. :)

    BTW,I've been out working for ages and didn't notice what's going on around.Is that true that a cartilage was missing in his left knee?
