    That's the funniest thing I've heard so far today.

    Because this is exactly the sort of thing that a Tracy McGrady hater would make, taking weeks to complete it.

    I guess I've always just had this deep unfounded hatred for the guy.

    Tracy is a end of the bench player? Anyone see his drive to the basket, where in midair, he changed for putting up a shoot, to hit Brooks across the court for an open three?

    Yeah, ignore the FACT that the guy is stinking on defense and is not playing hard in his only 7 minutes of play.

    That is MY HATE.

    LOL - keep up the excuses......that is how you win in basketball and life.

    But but but........

    And if TMac wants to play more, he knows what he must do....play hard.....

    But, I guess that is asking too much....lol.....

    Education these days.....Tmac has a right to be frustrated, but he's not unloading it the correct. He also doesn't have a right to be frustrated since he's coming off a serious injury. There's no answer to this question, especially since the poll options are incredibly messed up and confusing.

    I don't think he is frustrated so the poll is kinda irrelevant. You all read too much into little things like as if the guy is a politician with a team picking out his every word to make sure he is getting across the proper innuendo. And the media just wants a juicy story, even if there isn't one there.

    RA was right to tell them to STFU, IMO. We all know the plan, and now after the stretch of back to backs, I'm sure his minutes will start getting bumped.

    Tracy is not the smartest, most diplomatic talker, he very often says things that can be very easily quoted out of context.

    I am with you on this one the team needs to trade TMac. He needs a new start somewhere else and I wish him the best. The Rockets need to do it as soon as possible because the longer they wait the uglier this will get.

    Fair enough.

    But now I ask you...how do you explain the fact that I don't think Tracy has been playing as hard as I would expect for someone who says they're "ready"?

    If it's not hate, could it actually be honest, objective observation? If so, what does that say about the other people on your list?

    Just some food for thought.

    So his defense was just horrible all the games he played in? He made some mistakes on defense as did ariza and the rest of the team, nobody's defense has been perfect.

    @ DaDakota I see your point in when you say earn your minutes back...nothing wrong with that but when you have Ariza bricking and Battier being his regular self...The rockets need points and T-Mac is the guy to give it to them. I have a question for you...WHY PLAY JERMAINE TAYLOR CHASE BUDINGER MINUTES??? That to me sounds pretty dumb!!

    I hope he is traded, not for the sake of it but so he can get his minutes somewhere else. He is getting the wrong treatment.

    You have people on that list who dissapear when Tracy is playing well, is saying the right things in the press. Then when one article is written, where it is very easy for things to be taken out of context and they all appear form the shadows.

    The people I put in that list are what I see as haters. Just like with you, fi I see enough to suggest I'm wrong, I would take them off of it.

    T-Mac has no right to be frustrated. These are the terms he agreed to with coach and FO to come back. 7 minutes a game for six games to see where he stands. It's only be 3-4 games so far and he's already whining?

    I don't mind being on a list...put me on it...I ain't scared.

    But go read my comments on the Clippers game, where I said Tmac looked GREAT on offense.

    That is how you EARN more time.......

    Either way....I am a Rockets lover....and if someone is hurting the team, then call me a hater.

    All politics a side, the Rockets have been a very good team so far this season and it looks like they will make the play offs. We've been winning games by playing hard and playing smart, but we will need a go to player sooner or later especially in the play offs.

    Landry has become that go to player for the most part but we don't need defenses sitting in his lap forcing bad shots we need a guy like T-mac to share the burden with him. The question is can Mac get back to being that caliber of player? What a dangerous team the Rockets could be if he does regain his form. I don't see us winning a title this year but the 2nd round could be a possibility depending on the match up.

    Hey, Rockets Fanatic, can you throw me in on your Tracy Haters list? Not that I hate the guy (I'm completely indifferent towards him) but since I understand Adelman's plan, I guess that makes a hater as I won't be whining for him to be Chris Webber Part II.
    Thanks.

    And seriously, you T-Mac fools, what part of THE GUY NEEDS TIME TO ADJUST AS HE HAD MICROFRACTURE SURGERY do you people not seem to get? We keep hurling "Chris Webber Chris Webber" over and over again and you guys are acting like we've got the T-Mac of 2 years ago, and not someone who's pretty much the worst wing we have with the possible exception of Taylor.

    And yes, the poll question is confusing. I voted yes as in "yes, we have the right to blame him for all the junk he's pulled recently."
