    Both Feigen and Blinebury, yes even Blinebury, have refuted this on their respective blogs, based on their first hand observations of Yao-Mac interaction and the locker room in general.

    Someone who cares more can take the trouble to copy/paste their takes onto here if so desired.

    Winning basketball, how did the team do last year again? Oh, and they are on pace to win 50 again this year...without a dedicated Tmac.

    Let's not get nostalgic for the good old days, when they were not really all that good to begin with...

    JVG is trash. Did you forget that Jazz series where only 4 players score in one of the games? UGLY

    President but he calls the shots and does the dealing as well I think. IMO the only player the Rockets would trade for on that team is Granger. Bird would put the phone down so quickly before Morey could finish saying Granger's name.

    Uh, yeah, then blow homecourt advantage not once but twice after being up 2-0....

    I think I will deal in realism instead of pining for the olden days....which were far from golden.

    I think he's just saying McGrady is more "cuckoo" then he appears. Like maybe Marv Albert dressing in women's underwear type different

    Doc,

    Before 100% of the board believes you. Now its like 95%. the other 5% don't deserve your replies. They aren't worthy.

    They are Soulja Boys, when we know you are Tupac!

    T-mac is annoying - I'll admit that. He's not a leader, and he shouldn't try to think he is one anymore. He's a great SG when he is healthy...period. NOthing more nothing less. His mental issues are simple bizaare. I don't think anyone can describe or make sense of what goes on in his head...and we thought Artest was the head case.

    But I think with T-mac - you have to manage him like a Dennis Rodman. JVG managed him very well....Rick, not so much. Who can handle T-mac? Not sure.

    We do need him to contend...which is why I personally avoid turning him into the devil because that's not going to be good for the Rockets. Let's face it, Yao is the face of the Rockets, he's the tru warrior, and we all love his characted but sometimes not his play.

    I just hope it all works out....

    Of course Doc is money on his info. I have some info from the tracy camp but I'll chill for a moment. It got me to thinking though, if it is that bad, and the team was forced into a trade, who would this team have the most success with after compensation?

    not sure jvg handled him in a best way possible. i'm just talking from the results.

    now the team is taking a different approach. let's see if it works or is actually worse.

    cmon leeb, spill those beans. all of these inside info has been from yao/other players/reporters, we need some from tracy's side.

    i want to see if tracy is hostile to all this or not.

    If the info from the Tracy camp is bad, then that means HE wants out of Houston.

    Other than being very,very frustrated with his lack of mobility, he's gets frustrated with guys blowing dimes. Also, feels the unit runs better with 0. 0 allows him to really play point forward, plus 0 makes the offense easier.
