    Choose Adelman no doubt, why not? If tmac come back, he will play for himself, he is a selfish guy. Also now we are well good, can he make Rockets much better? Nobody knows

    The world ends in 2012. That means we need to win now, let T-Mac play. I just want one more championship before we all die.

    What? No option for "Dump Ariza and T-Mac and re-sign Wafer and V-Span"? :eek:

    DD, you're getting senile!

    The future thing is delusive, I mean when you say it, do you mean 1 year later? or 2? or 10?

    we should focus on now, how can we get better, it's not about Tmac or Adelman, it's about getting better or worse.

    Either choose is a loss for this team, Building for the future and waste the value of Tmac? Let tmac dominate and play his style and lose our future?
    I don't wanna neither.

    This is just another tired thread of fan logic and pure speculation. It means nothing in the long run and just suggests a knee-jerk reaction after a hard-fought loss.

    Tomorrow, we play another game.

    You think if T-mac was healthy and played against Portland we wouldn't have won? Who are you kidding? That series would have been T-mac's first round win as well.

    This argument is so dumb.


    By the way, Brooks, Battier, Ariza are all shooting atrociously now for the season - most of the rockets guards are way under 40% for 3 point shooting as well. Ariza is at 39%.

    By Dada's logic, our entire perimeter has turned into volume shooters and should be traded for Corey Maggette.

    Hahaha, so true. Our sgs/sfs can't score, thats why we need McGrady or a replacement.

    Wow. It couldnt be any more obvious that we could use mcgrady in our offense right now. Forget "Adelman's style" which doesn't even exist and if it does and this is what it is, then we are not going anywhere in the post season.

    Running is great and i encourage it, but it seems like in every loss we have had this year, we have been stifled by poor execution in the half court.
    We need a player in the back court who can consistantly make plays in half court sets. We just don't have enough options right now. Scola in the post is not a good option. Brooks is still young and makes poor decisions in crunch time. Lowry and Landry are really the only other two half court players we can look but neither is talented enough to consistantly win their matchups.

    I don't see how fans can just be satisfied because our team plays hard. This is the NBA. This is the Houston Rockets. We shouldnt be satisfied with losing, ever. I'm not panicing, im just merely pointing out that the team we're putting out on the court right now isnt going to have the same success as adelmans teams of the past two seasons. I still expect wins, and we have a guy who can help us get more of them. Its time to suit him up.

    I don't think this thread is necessary at all. Tracy is not ready to play.(Physically or Mentally).

    I think most people who are enjoying this season realize that. Then there are others (are you one of them?) that don't realize that this is a transition year, and McGrady is not part of that transition. Winning at all costs was never the goal for this season. The sooner you come to grips with that the better. You need to look towards the future and forget about the welfare of guys who are 13 years in because they aren't a part of it.

    Well thats great that you can predict the future like that. Unfortunately im not that talented and what im witnessing in the present is not as good as what we have had in the past. I don't really care why theyre not as good so much. I just have higher expectations i guess.

    ill just say this. i cant get excited about this team. atleast in years past they showed flashes of being a contending team: 22 game winning streak, solid close to last season with a first round advance and beating Lakers at home in game one. This team has mediocrity written all over it.

    Again, most people realized that going in. If you didn't and that's a problem, you may want to take up a new hobby. Could be an opportunity for you.

    If he was,he would be playing now. There wouldn't be any need for an MRI. Management and coach don't want him play a few games and then sitting out.
    I'm not a McGrady hater by any means,I want him to make a successful comeback with the Rockets.
