you do realize back thenhe did his own warm up at a different time prior tot he game...no reason to warm up with the team then if he's already done his and he's not technically part of the team at that point. He also tried to stay away from the team to let them do their own thing. He's damned either way. Had he been in there someone would claim he was trying to over do it and influence the team too much.
Yeah, I'd be in favor in keeping him if both sides would come to a mutual decision, because his skillset could improve this team and add another dimension. I just feel the signs we've shown points towards McGrady going out the door, and if that's the case, playing him only seven minutes is pointless both for us, and for him as a career move. I think we'll get more answers in the next game, it's the end of the "six game experiment." And if McGrady doesn't get more minutes, then something is bound to happen.
As much as I have been hesitant to pour it on him in the last year, I cant say unequivocally he makes the team better. Honestly I think he makes the team better by being part of a trade that removes maybe him and one rotation player for 2 solid rotation players in return. Whether that is doable or not is yet to be seen. But as far as being on the floor, he doesn't make the team better. Unless you call letting Battier or Ariza rest as making them better.
LOL, you LOVE using the "how much money do they make" as a basis as to why you can't compare 2 players. if that's the case, you should be flaming the people that compare carl landry to amare stoudemire. landry makes $3 million and amare makes $16 million! and yes, we can compare tmac to von wafer. you always say tmac does not make this team better yet you say von wafer does. so why can't we compare the 2?
the playoffs are all about matchups. the jazz were built to take out a team like us. you have got to be kidding me if you expected yao to guard boozer. let's not forget tmac's stats he put up in the playoffs when he was playing with a bum knee and back... and people still have the nerve to say tmac has no heart and no passion. LOL!
i'd like to see how hard you can play 10 months removed from microfracture surgery. and oh yeah, tmac owes you so much because you pay his salary, right?
They were posted on the 2nd and 4th page but got buried under. Or most likely no one even cares, they've got their minds made up. The Rockets were twice as good when Mike James joined the team Mike James >> Everyone else These players turned the team from a .500 team to a contender. Rockets didnt advance past the Mavericks. McGrady's fault. If McGrady is the set aside non-factor, because those players were the true factor, why arent the true factors getting faulted since they basically ran the team? They took the reins away from McGrady. Then hid behind McGrady in the playoffs? I dont get these arguments. I'm staying out
You can blame the coach, the players and McGrady for that. Blame the coach for running all plays on McGrady. Blame the players for standing their and watching McGrady. Blame McGrady for not running enough.
The team is doing fine without him. If you're refering to the Orlando game, do you really think that Tmac would have given the Rockets enough to beat them? How come we've been absolutely atrocious when trailing these past few seasons? Our team this year have come back so many times. We just need to run the offense and we'll be fine. Ariza takes alot of bad shots, but so does Tracy. At least we're getting better defense from Ariza.
Man Ariza has built a 2000 sq ft house with all the bricks hes put up. Ariza needs to be more aggressive and take the ball the hoo....oh wait he cant dribble, damn.
McGrady's passing alone sets guys up for wide open shots. He puts other players on the floor in better position to make a play. I cant say that about Ariza or Battier.
Oh please...McGrady had one good game and he needs more minutes? He didn't even run the offense that game. He just looked good because shots were falling. It's not like we were destroying the Clippers with Tmac's 7 minute cameo...we led by one point. Same old Tmac holding onto the ball for 10 seconds. We don't need a playmaker, we need our players to move to the ball. Can't wait till CBud gets back.
i guess people like you would hate if a superstar perimeter player comes here. FYI: almost every star player "holds" onto the ball. that's why they're star players. watch a lebron james game sometimes. hell, watch brandon roy. hell, watch monta ellis. hell, watch melo. hell, watch... oh wait, every star scorer is like that. i thought it was common sense. hell, watch tyreke evans.
It is common sense because they all run their offense except Melo. And they have a good ball-movement when they do it. Melo doesn't dominate the ball, he plays in the post very frequently and he scores a lot of points that way. Tmac doesn't have good ball-movement when he has the ball. When Tmac has the ball and no double comes to help in the pick n roll, Tmac is about as useless as you can expect.
