    Mcgrady was frustartded at himslef because he couldn't be himself so I don't hold that one bad toronto memory of him against him to all the rest of the great memories he's had for the rockets... the dunk on brad, the shootout between him and and dirk, 13 pts in 33 secs, back to back 3's from halfcourt in katrina gm, crossover on bron in allstar gm etc for those memories I'll always be a loyal fan :grin:

    You never watched Hakeem play then. How old are you? McGrady was a special talent, there is no doubt - but he just can't hold a candle to Dream.

    right now i think the only trade that could happen with Tmac is for Rip hamilton, ofcourse there's some salary cap issues but i think both GM's dont want their players.

    I think Rip would be a nice edition to the team ..

    I think adelman would probaly say tracy has to get more practice again, he hasn't practice since before the roadtrip and then he'll say he need to get another MRI and go from there then after that he'll just say he isn't ready again

    Clutch has already said Adelman has no interest in playing mcgrady and it's obvious now he even tried to hint he wants him traded.

    Maybe Clutch has said that, but what has Adelman said?

    Adelman and Morey have both said categorically that Tracy will play this season.

    Frankly, to me, the fans that are clamoring for TMac to play right away and as soon as possible are just as looney as the ones that are clamoring for him to die and go away and never play again, whaaaah whaaaaah.

    I've said it before, we're only 1/4 through the season: There is NO RUSH!!!!

    Honestly I wish they would just start to play Tracy before midway in the season. From videos I have watched, he seems like he would be ready to play very light minutes by that time,

    All I see is bickering every day when I visit these forums, I wish to just get it over with!

    What videos have you watched that led you to conclude he is ready?

    This is completely incorrect.

    2005 and 2007 The rockets were capable of making deep playoff runs with enough support. There's a reason we went up 2-0 on both occassions.

    Other teams with less talent and supporting cast have advanced past the first round.

    Good players elevate the level of play of their teamates, not just take more shots themselves.

    Jazz and mavs had five guys to avg double figures, while rockets only had 2, no one on the roster could create their own shot outside of yao and mac.

    Now we have other guys to create, lowry, brooks last year artest wafer, before that it was always guys that could only spot-up and when teams stop double teaming yao and mac had to score everything.

    The point is that if we were good enough to go up 2-0, then we were good enough to win the series.

    2-0 coming home to play the next two.....

    The reason they choked that series is one of the reasons Tmac must go, he tries to do too much.

    And he is good enough to get away with it and win some games that way, but ultimately, he is NOT good enough to win a playoff series that way, yet, he will continue to try.

    That is why he must go, he has no concept of why he continually fails, he looks outwardly for reasons of failure instead of inwardly where the problems lie.

    We were cheated gm6, on that finley play when he touched the ball out of bounds, and a bunch of no calls. but that game 7 just showed who had the better TEAM, even though we had the better players.

    Yeah, but games 3 and 4 were where the series was lost.
