i still think morey is great at finding talent but he dropped the ball on this ariza experiment. and i like adelman but he full of it for saying "tracy does not give us the best chance at winning" nonsense. injured tracy was better than ariza right now. he shot the ball better, passed the ball better, and committed fewer turnovers than ariza INJURED. now he is healthy but he doesn't give us the best chance in winning? BS at least play the guy and let him fail then say "haha told you so", let his contract expire, and sign a big name free agent instead of come out and say he doesn't give us the best chance at winning when the guy wearing number 1 RIGHT NOW isn't giving us the best chance to win. but then again adelman came out and said tim hardaway didnt give the warrirors the best chance at winning and convinced the media and GSW fans to get rid of him and he was done as a good player, then tim still had productive seasons in miami and led them to the eastern conference finals appearances and consecutive all-nba teams while adleman went 66-98 and was fired after two seasons.
There is NO such thing as a sustainably healthy Tracy McGrady! Please..don't drink the Kool-Aide. Grover has an a-gen-da and many of you are buying into it. We have to hope some other team believes in the unfactual notion of a "healthy" McGrady. Close your eyes. Now see shoulder harness on T-Mac..Now see knee braces on both knees. Visualize brittle and gimpy player with calves the size of your little sister's wrists...see the agony on said skinny player's face after ANOTHER injury (seveerely strained earlobe).....see IR!!!!!!...SEE the LIGHT of TRUTH about McGrady's true state. Now WAKE UP!!!
mcgrady didnt get a fair chance to prove it on the court...7 minutes was a joke. The blame will always be on Adelman if we dont make the playoffs and continue to play like we are now.
Maybe,but there is a big difference in seeing him perform in real games than only workouts or in practice. His expiring contract isn't easy to move, and DM is being lowballed. Things might get better near the trading deadline,but I'm sure some teams will want either Landry(more likely) or Brooks(less likely) along with him.
"No limitations, no anything." No anything is right He should have been more specific and said NO HEART

I suggest you see your way out and go back to la la land this is a Rockets forum not t-mac lovers club
I agree, all T-mac needed was some consistent playing time and I have no doubt he wouldve had a big impact on this team. He would've progressed as he played more just like any player returning from surgery.
Now, YOU close your eyes and imagine Ariza playing 35 mins a game. Visualize him going 39% from the field and costing us victories against teams that play "ball-stopping" offense like the Bobcats all because RA doesn't want to put Tmac on the court. You know what, you don't even have to close your eyes. This is REAL and not a figment of your imagination. I'm not saying Tmac is a saviour, but at this point he's much better than option Ariza, and everyone who hasn't seen it by now is just full of hate or really stupid
I would be very surprised if Morey gave up either Brooks or Landry in a Tracy deal unless it was for star talent. DM may be getting "lowballed" or may not be, we really don't know at this point. If reports of seven deals being offered are true, he may just be waiting to see if they are sweetened. Of course the "seven offered deals" could be posturing too. Guess my point on mac was if he looks good in workouts it should only help in getting a deal done,Don't see how it could not. Maybe someone like Chicago trades for him(hypothetical of course) because they think he can help them win and possibly get him on the cheap next year.
The part of this whole story that none of us can prove is DM getting Les to approve that $1 million cash payment to Grover to get him to say that.
very happy to see t-mac was ready once more again,I hope this time would be a real old self. there is no doubt he once was the most talented player in the league,but this guy was lazy ,no defense,ballstopper,and never make his teammats better.his big mouth hurted himself a lot.I hope he could change himself and learn how to adapt to his new team.anyway though i am not a t-mac lover,still i wish him good luck.
Its funny how everybody on clutchfans can bash on anyone. Tim Grover is one of the best rehab/trainer in the world. And people on this site can still find ways to bash him. The bashing on this site is getting worst. Its getting to the point where I just don't really respect anyone here anymore. Any names comes up on this site is going to be bash. Tim Grover is working hard along with Tracy McGrady. I'm sure Tmac will come back and play at an all star level. Though he probably lost his first step and not as athletic, he is still incredibly talented. I respect what he is doing and I will miss him with the Rockets. Let him work out and let him get back onto the court and succeed. Tim Grover is the one that got D wade back onto the court after everyone counted him out. I just can't believe how most of ya just find any reason to bash someone who is connected to Tmac. Either its bashing Tmac, or bashing his trainer. What is wrong with you guys? Clutchfans is here so we can share our opinions and facts about the Rockets, not where we just log on and find different reasons to bash on Tmac. This is just stupid. Every time I log onto clutchfans, I see people bash on Tmac or Ariza on every single thread. Those guys are on the Houston Rockets roster. We're just Rockets fans. As Rockets fans, we should support anyone on the roster. Ya bash on whoever that doesn't satisfy ya.
I think most of ya just don't want Tmac to ever come back onto the court and succeed. Its sad how some of ya wish the worst for him.
I am not a Tmac fan, however I am still amazed by his "13 points in 45 seconds" performance... Yeah, he did something that might conflict with the organization's best interests, but I find it very funny that some posters are laughing at the Tmac fans while they are being fatefully loyal to the Houston Rocket organization, which pretty much means the "Houston Alexander Leslie".. :grin: :grin:
Oh really? you sound like that 22 streak is all on him. if I do not misremember that the last one (against lakers) should be on rafer. do you recall a bunch of those weird three points? and kobe walked off the floor with face "like what the hell happen to rafer today" :grin:
