    TSlack's stock is not high. He's a loser who thinks he's in the same league as Kobe and Lebron. He's living in yesteryear. He and AI should get together.

    I don't see the urgency you put into the poll... :confused:

    We've beat this meat for longer than the guy in The Hangout can last. :p

    It's not worth getting into again.

    Did you laugh tonight when the Rockets failed to close out the game?

    I laugh when people make it seem like the T-Mac of last year is the same T-Mac we had the years before that.

    If Tracy couldn't take a team past the first round in his prime, how can he do it when he is older and broken down? People need to face reality.

    Shoot, is Moses Malone available to play? Remember all the good years he had with the Rockets?

    Right, because this supporting cast is just as bad as anything he's had in the past. Take your own reality advice.

    Moses took the Rockets past the first round, which is something Tracy could not do.

    I laugh when people think T-mac is some type of leader or elite player in the league when he's not. He was only an elite player in his prime and that's done with, by a long shot. Some people need to figure out reality and realize this guy has declined rapidly, injuries probably caused it but he's still not close to his prime anymore. He's not a hard enough worker to get back to his prime days either or get his athletic ability back.

    I love how the only thing T-Mac does for us is close though, I mean really can he do anything else for us? He can't play defense because he's a wuss, can't crash the boards because he's a wuss, won't take contact because he's a wuss, Really...

    He's everything you DON'T want in a player other than his gifted offensive talent. I really don't even understand why people still like him, I thought his respect went down the crapper 2 seasons ago.

    But..But...But...He wasn't healthy! He didn't have a dominant supporting cast either!!!! :rolleyes:

    I've seen enough of your posts to know how much blind hate you have towards T-Mac so I won't even bother, especially with the bolded part.

    Close this and open another one where i can vote for "trade him now and get someone who can play" or "Let him expire".

    If we are going to trade Tmac it should be as soon as possible to give time to whatever player we trade for to insert himself into the team.

    If we are not going to trade him then let him expire and offer him the vet min next season. Give him a chance to give back all he took from u$.

    What supporting cast did he have that was good enough to lead into the second round? Listen, this is not about his contract or however you feel about him personally (even though I doubt if anyone on this site has a personal relationship with him). This about winning basketball games and the truth of the matter is that he is needed on this Rockets team in order for it to win games. In all of his years he has never had a good enough supporting cast or the best player(s) on that supporting cast were hurt during the playoffs. Then when he has a supporting cast that is good enough to contend, he is injured. Injuries are a part of the game for sure, but it seems that in the media and on this site his injuries make him the reason for Rocket failure while injuries to others have no impact on the lack of success of the team, the same team that T-Mac is apart of. So if you really want the Rockets to win then root for them to win. But until T-Mac is cleared to play and starts playing again, let's leave him out of the successes/failures of this team and judge him on what happens when he returns.

    He will however need to accept at least a 65% reduction in his money. :p
