[Audio] Rick Adelman not thrilled with how T-Mac handled it

Waaaaaaaaaaahh waaaaaaaaaahhh message board posters are unhappy that there team is in trouble waaaaaaaaaaah they are ruining my life waaaaaaaaah. Grow up man. Damn. Is the way you act any time fans are unhappy about something? Where (misspelled intentionally) you b****** and carrying on the last time fans on a message board reacted to bad news? grow up, fans on a message board actually post how they feel. It's not their fault. It's your fault. You are the one who comes to a message board so you are going to have 2 deal with it. Eat some cheese JkillaD23!

 

I'm surprised to see you taking McGrady's side on this. You've been one of his biggest critics this year. So you think the injury is for real?

 

Awesome.

 

neither dada nor me is taking mcgrady's side. i think both of us think he handled it poorly.

but if it went down like i described in my post a couple back...i can understand why he'd do it. i wouldn't do it. and i wouldn't advise anyone to do it that way....but i get it....i get why that would be intensely frustrating when your name is being dragged in the mud.

 

That's what it's basically all about. McGrady being injured. Then T-Mac telling Stephen A. Smith that he is out for the season. So what big deal. McGrady is out for the season other guys are just going to have 2 step up. Ron Artest is here. We brought him here for a reason. You either play or go home. WIN OR GO HOME!!!!!!!!!

 

no...it's basically all about the fact that adelman and the fans are frustrated that mcgrady decided to talk to the press about his season ending injury before talking to the team. that's the point.

 

i'm flabbergasted, didn't the rockets first report he needed surgery? what is going on over there?

 

The situation certainly reads that way.

We get it already, dude.

 

Coincidently, he's been that way since his recent push for an Artest trade

 

Then he should give Les Alexander back HIS money for this season and next season.

 

I can't believe there are still people defending this guy.

He's a joke, plain and simple. Sure, he's really hurt, but he's been stringing the fans, his teammates, and the rest of the organization along all season causing all of this turbulence. I'm sure he's not the only one to blame for it, but the way he's been acting about it is shameful. It's all about him, not the team.

 

Wow, Adelman just went back into my esteem! He basically just made a public F-U to Tracy. All Tracy was asking about was drama drama drama and for Adelman and the Rockets to be like:"Omg, our season is over, bla bla bla" But Adelman just said:"Hey, were used to this stuff, its not that important - next question please."

 

i'm with you...it's crazy. no one looks good in this mess, frankly.

 

Dude is hurt, for that I'm sorry. There is no denying he handled it probably the worst way possible. For that, there is no forgiving.

It makes me sad that this is how it played out. Horrible to experience as a fan.

 

Well the question then is if T-Mac comes back, will Adelman and Morey allow him to play, or will they shut him down regardless. I imagine the players wouldn't really support him coming back. But at the same time, if Morey feels T-Mac playing is the only way we can get to the top, then he has to play.

 

Just burn it, seriously, what is a point for having his jersey?

 

who defended him? i haven't seen anyone really defend him yet.

 

DD wanted Artest traded basically when we got him.

But he also said that if T-mac was out for the season than we should keep Ron.

 

HE is a joke and ruining our team with this drama. The Rockets need to move on. I feel bad for these guys on our squad who have to deal with this mess, the younger ones.

I hope we make the 2nd round without T-Mac.
