    As I was saying....

    TWac fans are not Rocket fans

    The two are mutually exclusive

    We were spoiled to have Mcgrady, few players in the league could create like he can. Im starting to really like Martin though.

    I've watched more Rockets games than you I'm betting. I'm a basketball fan. Right now I'm watching Clevelant-Toronto cauz that's the most interesting of the games

    Knicks and Wizards are amazing! Only 2 points in overtime with less than a minute to go??

    T-Mac is on the bench otherwise it would have been 10 points by each side. :p

    and the knicks win!!!

    great shot by lee

    tmac is on the bench coz he is only limited up to 25 minutes but in that 25 minutes he create plays good shots and good drives..

    what if he is healthy and can play 40 min? good game for tmac harington and lee.

    great coaching by knicks also even if that is a crucial game they doesn't force tmac to play to score baskets. he is going to be healthy and healthy thru the days and next seasons

    Tmac basically plays most of the first three quarters, then sits the fourth. I would rather see him finish games, so they should start resting him some through the first three.

    That was about as good as McGrady has looked in nearly 2 years. His scoring talent is just undeniable. Still, he's been able to hide on defense for the most part. He looks 2 steps slow on 1-on-1 defense.

    We'll see if his knee holds up.

    Watching these games though it's clear the Rockets and McGrady needed to part ways and not just for the personality issues. TMac just won't play the style the Rockets want to play now.

    Martin looking pretty good about now too. :)

    I don't think Adelman was stubborn not to adjust to T-Mac's style. But rather, he doesn't want to change style for a player that simply has given no indication of staying healthy.

    If T-Mac has no knee problems and is capable of consistently playing at the level tonight and in the Knicks first game, I'm 100% certain the Rockets would've worked him in. perhaps even beyond this year. But until the health issues go away, how can you commit to such a player?

    See, T-Mac just wanted more than 7 1/2 minutes a game. Maybe not 40, but at least more than 8. :p

    Tmac can be good no doubt. But how long before he gets hurt again?

    Played pretty good against the Wizards, but when Mike D asked him to go back into the game with about 4 minutes to go, Tmac declined.

    Shocker, I know.

    You can say now Martin is more suitable to RA's offense.
