    We have many bitter people on this site that won't forgive the past incidents, thankfully there are many of us that are above that and just willing to move on.

    you must of missunderstood what i meant. The rockets should of been patient, i dont blame the guy for busting his tail from surgery and want to play. It was obvious coach didn't want to play him, it showed everytime he was interviewed and asked about mcgrady. Im saying we should of given him more playing time, instead of 7 min a game, are you serious 7 min...

    Actually all the players play for money. Thats simple.
    Im glad about TMac, the guy didn't belong in Houston anymore but he definitely isn't off the books. He proves it tonight.

    First game after, how much time? Pheeew.

    I really hope Tracy comes back and does well but he is almost 30 and this is not baseball so he only has so much time to be effective. I hope he leads the Knicks to a win in every game against teams ahead of us in the standings.

    Good to see T-Mac back and playing well. NY should eat this up. Hopefully he stays healthy enough to works himself back into shape and into a nice contract.

    Interesting how T-mac is getting good looks at the basket playing off the ball.

    I am happy to see T-Mac do well but some of you fans are pathetic... why are you a member of a TEAM website when you're all about the player, its what pissed a lot of people off here. It should always be about the team and not the player. T-Mac got what he deserved from his antics at last years deadline and constant whining. Coach's job is to win games, not make players feel secure about themselves.

    hes having a good game, but they are focused on getting him the ball...a couple of times even before crossing half court......

    can u imagine lowry feeling pressured to give tmac the ball instead of confidently running the break himself..

    a good passer is going to make good passes....and a 6'9 guard should make lay-ups.

    Tracy is doing the same thing that Kevin Martin did with the Kings, when your the only one on the team that can put points on a team your going to look good :rolleyes:

    Let's see what Kevin can do on a good team...

    First night of a trade the energy is usually like that. We will see how they are playing a few games from now. That will tell us how much of an effect he has on them.

    Not from what I'm seeing. Uncontested layup is not good D.

    Adelmans system needs the players to move almost constantly and don`t hold on to the ball for too long... T-Mac didn`t fit this team at all. Add to that, that he has really gotten slow and lazy on Defense, and that`s enough to keep him out of the lineup. Relying on his jumper and rarely driving wasn`t helping at all.

    But I guess we should`ve played him more... right now we`ve just traded away a real big expiring contract. If we`d shown that he still has some game in him, we might`ve actually got a little bit more out of him. But overall I´m still very pleased! We got a player that fits our system perfectly in Martin, a physically gifted athlete in Hill, and great assets in these draft picks.

    LOL! I find it hilarious and pathetic (mostly pathetic) that a bunch of you guys are still so fascinated with McGrady that you intend to follow through every single thread of his to try and rain on his parade. The guy plays his first real game in almost 2 seasons and people are nitpicking on his game. LMFAO!

    A good first game back so far, I am impressed. Still glad we traded him, but unlike so many of you I am not so hateful and pitiful that I feel obligated to go into every thread to bad-mouth the man or wish him ill. In fact, I wish him well and would be happy if he can do something positive with his time in NYC.
