Adelman obviously had personal issues with mac, and the team sided with him because they were winning(at the time). He basically sold management on T-mac being a distraction to the team so he could continue to get all the recognition while the Rockets were overachieving so he could get his contract extension. Now he's using him and yao as an excuse now that were losing.
That's cold and unfair, bro. He explicitly told Woj that he would love to go down as the greatest water boy in the L. As long as his passing knee that doesn't hurt will get back to 90 uhh 100%.
Are you an insider? It's also possible the team was completely fed up with McGrady's act and every bit as disgusted with him as Adelman. There is no reason to assume Adelman "sold" anything to management. I'll say it again for at least the 10th time: McGrady peed in his bed one too many times last season and was finally forced to sleep in it, for a change. His act completely threw things out of kilter and when he was finally gone for good the Rockets started playing their best ball. Tell me, exactly when did Adelman recently start blaming Tracy and Yao for the recent losing? Did you make that up?
LOL.. when did he demand that? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UJ49M223kkI&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UJ49M223kkI&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I think he was talking about when after we lost to a shorthanded team, Adelman said something like, "We're without our best two, so..." I believe there was a thread about it.
...No. He made it clear that he wanted more minutes in the media, but many other Rockets have done that. (Ron Artest, Brian Cook, V-Span.)
LOL his act?... the guy couldn't even dunk in the open court, that was acting?... he made his bed because he decided to have surgery on his knee which clearly wasn't getting any better playing on it?
