    Most NBA players apply moisturizer on a daily basis.

    People can have whatever opinion they want on a player.

    Saying that "people who support Tracy are not Rockets fans" is a direct shot at me and many other quality posters here who just happen to have a different opinion.

    stupid post...... ya he lost the whole city in one play..... not..... he was clearly at the height of his knee problems and was probably frustrated with his injuries so he got discouraged..... it's posts like these that bring the unneeded negativity into the forums.... everyone's going to praise the forum because "Clutch" wrote it.... but in retrospect it's really stupid.... sorry

    Does T-mac have some fans to win back?

    Absolutely. That includes me. I was disappointed by his attitude and behavior as well.

    But I guess I am willing to give a guy another chance - especially because I think the man is capable of growing.

    i fail to see how that gives you the right to call people stupid for their opinions.

    Does anybody know why he is wearing socks in this pic?
    - deformed feet. - this is why he has back problems. Remember when he went to the foot specialist to help his arch??
    - when he was a kid he couldn't afford new shoes so he played in smaller sizes,
    BAM- deformed feet.

    Just an FYI..

    If you can make complete sentences or bring any semblance of facts to support your argument, then I would suggest you get off of clutch's website and forum then.

    Adelman and Morey do not want Tracy McGrady on the court, and to me that's more telling than anything. I seriously don't know why some of you guys are so defensive about this whole thing. You act like he's your buddy or something, its weird. I'm not really interested in seeing him out there.

    Ariza's had some really bad games, and I cringe just as much as the next guy at some of the bricks he throws up, but the swing the other day shows he at least gives a damn.

    Heres the difference:

    Acceptable: Rafer Alston is a scrub I hate him

    Not: People who like Rafer Alston are stupid.

    wait, so when he said "i was frustrated and that's why i was acting like that", to you that reads as "i have knee problems"???

    he said, out loud, that he was frustrated and wasn't touching the ball enough.

    i swear, you guys will defend this guy even if it means making stuff up.

    great write up Clutch.

    I like the team better without Tmac anyway. Everyone hustles and plays hard even though we are often out matched.

    While McGrady certainly had his share of detractors before then, you can't deny that it was a significant turning point in the relationship between McGrady and the organization/fans. I know of at least one poster here who was a vocal supporter of McGrady's that got turned off from him for good after that game.

    not to mention all that nifty high tech medical equipment requires certain gels and lube to read ultrasounds, ekg's, etc...

    enough with the critical and logical reasoning, not enough kneejerk!!!

    its still worthless commentary for someone preaching "quality contributions to this forum". i simply wanted to highlight the hypocrisy.

    why is it stupid? why is it ignorant? just because he doesnt agree with the blind support for this man, who has done about as much to alienate a fan base as we ever see in professional sports, he is stupid? sorry, but i disagree.

    if you are going to use such strong language and be insulting toward another poster, at least have the common courtesy to explain your position.
