    Well, since Ariza played a decent game tonight, I guess there's got to be something else to complain about.

    TMac is a cancer even if he has game left, he doesn't need to be anywhere around our team. He doesn't care about winning games right now either he just wants to pad stats for a new contract next year.

    What's the target about rockets this season?
    Playoffs or developing players potential?
    I don't know.
    if we are playing for playoffs, please put TMac on the court...
    Tmac offensively won't be any worse than Ariza out there.
    developing young players potential is another story...
    just prepare for the John Wall....

    Guess they should of listened to me, Tmac_1, Leeb, and all the other people who actually looked at the situation objectively instead falling in line behind the torch bearers. :rolleyes:

    yeah, and when we have opinions so overwhelmingly unoriginal, we post them in an existing thread. I wish zero star ratings were possible.

    You should get negative rep for each of the existing threads this simple post of yours could have appeared in. That's about 107 existing threads.

    You mean repeating something thousands of times doesn't make it more correct?

    This.

    word of advice for members, just because you have ability to make threads doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea to start one just to vent thoughts that many other members have done in existing threads

    i agree.

    thats the queue for morey worshipers to defend how tmac is being handled.

    this just in morey nation - the rockets aren't any good. ariza is NOT tmac, budinger is average, aaron brooks and carl landry are not superstars, the battier for gay trade was dumb from day 1, and tmac isnt playing because he "doesnt fit". yao will not fit this system either. this style is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. RA is NOT coach of the year - a smart coach would incorporate or at the very least ATTEMPT to incorporate a Tracy McGrady.

    "Play within the confines of the offense"

    If Ariza can somehow cut it in Ricks offense Mcgrady will look like Superman.

    IIRC, the Rockets were rolling pretty good during the stint Tmac played, so the prevailing feeling was that we didn't need him. It's just bad timing that right after he got kicked to the curb that the Rox started tanking.

    This is a leader-less team right now and the identity is getting lost.

    Even If TMAC was on the team . .he is NOT TMAC of Old
    so
    he would STILL be missing his TWO BEST Players
    [not to mention AB in foul trouble]

    The result told us that When Tmac sit on the bench or play 7 minates,
    the guys play more hard and better. :grin:

    he's right!!! Let's throw tmac out there so he can break his leg, that'll have every single team calling us!!

    C'mon now...if you KNOW you're trading a player the last thing you need or want is for him to get injured. Some teams may not want him necessarily for his play, but it doesnt look good to trade for an injured guy to sit him the rest of the season. Plus they can use that as leverage since he won't be able to contribute at all...

    The Rockets ARE without their two best players. Okay, so Tmac wasn't going to be part of the equation this year. How SHOULD Rick and Morey have handled it? Tmac screwed over the team and in any case has no future with the team. What should they have done, let Tmac come back and get hurt again and have absolutely no trade value whatsoever? Hurt himself again?

    There was no way for all this to go down smooth and easy.

    When Morey said No one is untouchable, he was stating the obvious, but the team has seemed to deflate since then. But how do you hold back the tide with a broom?

    Can't wait for the trade deadline to pass, but by then, the playoffs might be a dream.

    When the team was winning Rick didn't want to disturb the chemistry. Well now the chem lab is on fire and we can't sniff a win even at home. If T-mac was avail to play he'd be playing no doubt.

    Team and T-mac really blew it and now both the org and T-mac are out in the cold. If no trade happens soon at least we could get a decent pick in the lottery.

    I think Adelman was just talking out of frustration, no need to make a big deal about it... :cool:
