    I feel bad for Tracy. Yes he was a nuisance last year, but the guy is ready to play and the Rockets are jerking him around now.

    I have a question for all of us... how come we are sitting around asking about whether or not we can give T-Mac minutes like our opinions and feelings are really worth a damn to the Rox and would actually influence T-Mac's playing time. All of this name calling, hatred, anger, and other negative feelings would only leave a bad taste when he does leave. I for one propse that us Rockets fans simply resist the urge and ignore dumb T-Mac only fans! I also will not post in anymore T-Mac threads, because quite honestly, it is a huge waste of time for me. It is Christmas and New Year holiday season guys, spend some time with your loved ones or things. :grin:

    LOL! Morey cracking the whip!!

    McGrady whines about more minutes thinking he is still in charge.

    Instead Morey says, "SIT DOWN! I am in charge! Oh, and since you can walk now, go get me a cheeseburger."

    Love it, love it, love it!

    Still don't understand why McGrady is being benched. None of the articles really delve into it.

    McGrady should play. His production is better than Jermaine Taylor (duh) and Trevor Ariza.

    You think teams will pay more attention, and double team Ariza, or pay more attention to, and double team McGrady?

    Just by having an star player on the court is a great intimidating factor.

    No one is scared of Trevor Ariza. Pretty sure the opposing head coach and his staff will have viewed tape of games played recently, and has probably told his team not to worry about Ariza much.

    I assume you've seen him pay, and you still think it's because of management? He isn't the T-Mac of old. Giving him more minutes isn't going to shake off any rust. He's gone through a procedure that takes players a year just to get back on the court and 18-24 months to fully recover from (Fritz on the last podcast).

    I remember a few years ago . . I wanted to Trade TMAC with Paul Peirce
    You know .. if we had done that . . I think we'd have been to Wester Conference Championship by now

    Sounds like a good deal to me. Too bad it can't be done now.

    This is disappointing.

    If we get a star type player, this system will be changed to accommodate them. Let the hypocrisy continue...

    I hope he is traded to a team in the West so he gets a chance to play against this team and we get to see him play for 15 mins instead of 7-8.

    I'll hold my critique until we see who we get but I'll be surprised if someone else isn't traded with him.

    No Rockets!!!

    lol, what do you expect him to do in 8 minutes a game? give him 30 and he will be piling up stats.

    McGrady is not just out these next two games!! I will bet the farm that he will not play again as a Rocket even if he does not get traded.

    Mark My Words.

    He is through as a Rocket.

    Goodbye McGrady! I hope the door slams right up your @ss!!

    Honestly . . . I think Yao's injury is a bit of blessing
    cause
    he would be forced to 'take a side' in this mess
    which
    would not be good . . .

    Now the team learns to win
    develope players
    and
    now Yao can sit on the sideline of this drama and say
    MY NAME IS WES AND I AIN'T IN THIS MESS

    Is funny how in sport the man is treated like saints, while the workers are treated like devils.

    Is backwards to real life, Morey play low on Landry and tell the world that Carl need to get and MRI on his knee to sign him, and reduce his value on the market to get him on the cheap and he is a genius. T-Mac announce to his Surgery to avoid being traded and he is a Devil.

    In real life if you happen to be the employee you will probably be b****ing about how low and cheap the management is but in professional sports in general the management do all dirty tactic to sign players cheap or avoid paying them and they get away because is a business, a player complain and he is a selfish b*stard who is only thinking about him.

    Is funny how it works so different from real life. Just because the employees are rich.
