    Tmac haters cant stand seeing Tmac get along with the coach...they can't stand seeing him cheering on the team on the sideline...giving players advice and being involved in the game. They hate it because it refutes everything they want you to believe about him...you know it's true :eek:

    I have never been more embarrassed in my life when i attended that game. Wearing a T-mac jersey, I attended that game with my cousins up in Toronto and I firmly believed the Rockets were going to win but what I ended up seeing was BS on McGrady's part. The game infuriated me seeing as how I was a huge T-mac fan and as the game progressed, I began to lose faith in him and pushed me to the point where I felt like throwing his jersey away.

    Im hoping he'll come back as the T-mac when we first got him. I really want to see this guy succeed.

    Great Article. That is telling the truth! This is the kind of article that keeps the story straight about McGrady because this is what we can expect out of him. He has become more and more lethargic the last 2 years. No surgery is going to repair what is wrong with McGrady. He is mentally done and I would not be surprised if he calls it in next season and retires. He has more money than he could probably spend and he is not even 30. Most people in there 20's are very immature and Tracy McGrady is no exception. He doesn't know who he is and doesn't understand what he is doing. He is still very childish. When he hits about 40 years old he will wake up and realize how many mistakes he made in his youth but it will be too late.

    This was not the first time McGrady quit and then blamed his lack of effort on his teammates.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=231216004

    First he balmes it on his teammates...

    "Two of them I forced it because I was frustrated. I didn't get any shots because guys were selfish," McGrady said.

    "The team forgot about team ball," McGrady said.

    "You get frustrated because you are not making shots because somebody is selfish and it carries over to the defensive end. And it tears your team apart. ... It is a problem, why do you think we lost 19 in a row?"

    Then he mocks the player who lit him up (Kendal Gill)

    "I've never in my life seen Kendall Gill shoot the ball that well," McGrady said."

    The same player who stays classy...

    "Tracy is a great player and I just played good defense on him and he missed his shots," Gill said.


    As you can see, this guy has a history of being selfish and self-centered. He has no problem of throwing his teammates under the bus when things are going bad. Is it a wonder that his own teammates want him gone now??

    none of his teammates have said they want him gone, you dont know that and none of us know that. and as far as throwing his teammates under the bus, that was a young mcgrady with the magic, guys grow up, (see kobe).. "i want shaq gone i want to be the focal part".. "i never said i wanted shaq gone", and then he won a championship. if you are losing, you say things you regret, if you are winning it heals all.. if he comes back and we start winning all you haters will forget about this toronto game. when the rockets won 22 straight, i didn't see any posts about how they wanted mcgrady gone, and you haters, have been hating for a while now, it wasn't just last year after toronto

    According to an insider, yes they have....in fact....one very big player that is injured right now was the source of the insiders report.

    Something along the lines of he was done with him.

    Just saying what a good insider reported......don't shoot the messenger.

    No matter if he plays this year or not, he's not going to be wearing Rocket Red next year... soo... all the Tmac apologists can start packing their bags if they'd like.

    wow, you one ugly dude, no need to put your pic though when replying, actually please dont.
    and to DD .. why did he say he was going to play soon? whats the point of going to the games and supporting his team? if someone in the locker room didn't want him and it leaked, i believe mcgrady would of already asked to be traded and given his history as you all like to say, would of posted it on his website or gone to the media.. just doesn't make sense, not shooting the messenger just saying.

    I think Tmac has had a talk, the organization said they want him to get back to 100% healthy and Tmac felt appeased.

    Whether he plays or not depends upon his health, his attitude, and whether they can trade him or not.

    i can definitely understand trying to appease him, i just wish it would end, and they would say , hes playing this game, or weve decided to trade him. its horrible to the fans and to tmac if he feels hes ready , give a date for Godsake

    ^^^ full of FAIL.

    McGrady could not take a team past 1st round...EVER....even when healthy.

    Now you expect him to come off of a microfracture surgery and take this team all the way?

    Typical bounced reality check for McGrady lovers.
