[Houston Chronicle] McGrady to sit out next two Rockets games

The benefit that can come from McGrady playing outweighs the harm that it can bring, in my opinion.

Whatever the reason is for McGrady not playing does not seem legit and this guy needs to be on the court (in my opinion)

 

wow....i think trade is coming.

 

Rockets are making themselves look bad by sitting McGrady just because he asked for more playing time. You simply just say, no you are not getting more minutes... Rockets are doing wrong but McGrady deserves it after what he did last year.

 

wowza

 

This is a very bad sign and probably portends T-mac's exit out of Houston.

 

Obviously none of us know the real story, but from one outsiders perspective, the Rockets have made themselves look pretty bad as far as player management goes. It's kinda embarassing

 

DM is taking no prisoners. punish Tmac for being selfish. i like it.

 

It could be their way of managing a prima donna but it doesn't look good.

 

I think I am going to go to my bank and tell them I am going to stop paying back my student loans so I can figure out the best way to get them thier money.

 

in before all every trade scenario listed already

 

I fail to see how this is a bad sign.

 

yeah, i think that might be the case.

 

Its after the fact that McGrady asked for increase in his minutes.

 

“They love Houston,” Morey said. “There’s been no talk of trade.”

bad sign to our hopes of winning a championship next year.

If you think without a star perimeter player who can both get to the rim, shoot the ball, and has court vision to pass we are going to win a ring - i hate to tell you that the NBA game is not the college game.

We've built a great college team, and it will do well in the regular season. But this team can't get past the 2nd round of the playoffs without a guy who can demand double teams on the perimeter and know what to do with it.

There's only a handful of players that can do that in the league. Our odds are better with T-mac than without.

Apparently DM thinks his moneyball approach to basketball will work but I am not so sure.

 

Morey and Adelman are only doing what T-Mac did to us last year, make our own terms and tell him which games he can and can't play. I see this as a little payback. :grin:

Its obvious that this team and city isn't going to let a "primadonna" run the team.

 

a trade or something has to be coming. he's been playing 8 minutes a game, and adelman said he would do this for 6 games. now it's been for 6 games and the team made the decision to sit him out? this is not how you bring a guy back from injury. even if you disagree with what mcgrady said (which he said he would still be cool with playing 8 minutes a game for the next 2-4 games), you don't sit him.

so obviously, these past 6 games have been a SHOWCASE, and now they are possibly ironing out a trade. hopefully it does happen so both sides can move on.
