    All this is weird. This game would have been the best one for Tmac to get at least 8 minutes. If not give him more than that. You don't want him, and you obviously don't think PT ups his trade value. (or that its worth the sacrifice). There was never ever any talk of re-evaluating anything in the sense of him skipping games. You can re-evaluate while giving him 10 min vs NJ.

    I am tired of the guy and his antics and have been for some time. Either Tmac or the team is sending a serious message..... I think the message from the team is that a trade is imminent.

    I agree on all points. But Tmac is a first round loser, while Ariza has an NBA ring. I'll take a winner over a proven loser any day.

    i guess you would take sasha vujacic too, he's a bigger winner than ariza. ;)

    please use some logic. that's the dumbest argument to use when comparing players.

    "son's birthday..." :rolleyes: I am getting so tired of the weak way management is dragging this thing out. Stop trying to sugarcoat this stuff and take a hard stance. They are as much at fault for this continuing BS as Tmac is, at this point.

    Does harassing T-mac fans bring you that much pleasure dude? So a few of them get into it with you and you go after the whole lot? Classy!

    You realize most of his fans are probably kids right?

    Tough love Lou, tough love.

    And most know that I am not talking about the Rockets fans, just the guys who support him over the organization.

    I am not including you on that list.....you just are a guy who hopes things work out...that is groovy with me....

    You use some logic. Vujacic is not near the level of player that Ariza is.

    exactly. management must think rocket fans are a bunch of kids thinking letting tmac attend his son's birthday is a legit reason lol.

    however, i'm sure things will spill out real soon.

    They are taking a hard stance, they are just not doing it through the media.

    This is good PR.......nothing more.

    I think that some people are making this out to be worse than it is. T-Mac probably asked the Coach if he was going to get more than a few minutes per game on this road trip and when Adelman told him no, he said "OK- then will it be cool for me to stay home for my son's birthday?" and coach probably said no problem.

    Really, it's not like T-Mac is going to play any worthwhile minutes right now so who cares if he skips a road trip?

    I know you aren't including me but I really think all fans should be given the benefit of the doubt that they hope for the best of the Rockets. Being a passionate T-mac fan doesn't mean they deserve a ribbing. Whatever you think of him, it's been a hard season for both him and his fans - you may not cut him some slack, but I'd think you might want to cut his fans some slack.

    After all the crap I get called? LOL - nope...enough.....I am hitting back until he is traded.

    No quarter given, there can be only one.

    Have to agree I think the Rockets are crossing the line now with T-mac. The organization is handling this badly and will end up not getting anything for Mac in a trade if this continues. Rockets need to man up and either play him or trade him because other players are watching this play out in Houston.

    Everyone knows the Rockets sent him home because they are done with him. It's not Rocket Science... If it gets any uglier (Which it will.) Tmac will ask for a trade and then the Rockets will do the best to accommodate it.
