If T-Mac is still here at playoff time, do you think he will want the Rockets to win?

    Serious question. Think about all the stick he's had about never getting past the first round. Think about what the media and fans will say if the Rockets finall get over that hurdle WITHOUT T-mac in the team. All the talk about a T-Mac team being unable to win in the playoffs would appear to be vindicated.

    Not only that, but I think it may destroy him for good mentally. 11 years of trying to get there, and the year that the team finally has enough talent to do so, he has to sit and watch his teammates celebrate.

    So, what do we all think? Would T-Mac be rooting against his team?

    my prediction : tmac will not have surgery,and will become such a distraction that the rockets will release him to prevent bad pr to season ticket holders.

    This may sting a bit for some of you...


















    He may be going the way of the Maxwell.

    who unknow tmac is a playoffs' maiden, I think he also want to prove he can past the 1st round, even I am not optimistic with tmac. If we past the 1st round in the playoffs this year, that is another satirical event to tmac. :D

    Tmac will not have surgery, and he sure will be back for playoff

    Of course, the irony in all of this is... this is the one "play" that T-Mac has done that may get the Rockets past round one.

    I dun care what tslack thinks or is rooting for with his fat lazy butt on the couch watching the rockets in playoffs. I simply don't, because to me he's done. He may never suit up for us anymore.

    If at that time he suddenly wants to go out and play, we'll be in big trouble. Otherwise, who cares?

    I hate him! He is not a man. I used to hope he can do things like a man,like Artest or someone else, but every time what he does prove me wrong.

    He cares about one last thing regarding basketball, and that is his legacy. Nothing was more obvious as he tried to use injuries as the sole reason for the decline of his career. We all know it's played a part, but minor arthroscopic knee surgery is not the kind of thing to draw out my vote of sympathy.

    Anyways, regarding the Rockets in the playoffs, he has to spin it positively. There's no other way. You think Frank Thomas liked the White Sox winning it all the year he went sidelined? Probably not, but he grinned and bore it like anyone else would.

    Tmac cool feelings:

    -when you think your knee is worse but the doctor tells you youre fine, thats a cool feeling

    -when you say youre fine but come out missing a dunk and going 1 for 9, thats a cool feeling

    -when you finally get the team that you need to win ii all but you flake on them, thats a cool feeling

    -when your team makes it to the 2nd round without you and youre nowhere to be found....Now thats a cool feeling.

    at this point i would be happy with a round 2 appearance from this team,but does it count that he's been to on a team that advanced even though he didnt play?
