    it just pisses me off.......it's obvious what this team CAN do if Tmac is willing to play like "that" every night.........it was a great win last night for many reasons, but I'm not going to let this team play with my emotions like they have done in the past.............I'll continue to wait and see what happens........................

    Yeah, T-Mac turned it on last night. But as a jump shooter he's going to have off nights. I don't think it's realistic or fair to expect that he'll shoot 50% every night.

    The important thing is that the Rockets are strong enough now as a team that they can cover for their stars when they have an off night. And T-Mac is playing within the system, so even if he's having an off night shooting he can still have an impact with his assists.

    I don't really mind when he has off nights shooting, because everyone has them (Like you mentioned)....my problem is when he fails to take it to the basket when the jumpers aren't going in......so far I'd have to say that last night along with game at Utah earlier this season have Tmacs best games this year.........and the common denominator in both of those games was his aggressiveness when taking it to the basket........sometimes driving it to the lane and getting easy buckets also gets you a good offensive rhythm and makes the basket appear bigger.......................I wish he would play like this every night..................but he doesn't..........

    There's no question that he's a much better player when he takes it to the hoop, even when his shot is falling. The important thing is that he stays healthy...

    Anybody have the clip of David West shoving Landry down? I missed the fourth quarter (knew we were going to win though).

    I get the feeling that we're playing as a team and all of the players feed off each other energies.

    So, the Rockets winning by 20 on the road against the team with the best record in the West is not good enough for you, Mr. Perfect? Come on now.
