    I mean just to watch him and his highlights, his jumpshot, everything.. How many of you really miss him?

    I'm not really saying that we need him or he makes us better, I'm talking about just from a watching standpoint.. I really miss watching him play.

    When he was good, sure.

    Too bad he's washed up now, the NBA is lucky that he's washed up. Otherwise we'd have lost about 5 games thus far :D

    The Tmac fan club all seem to have either disappeared or are not posting as much. I don't think anyone will miss them.

    From a fan standpoint, how could anyone miss McGrady? The team is 10x more fun to watch now than it has been since the Championship years. The scoring is balanced, the team has some athletes, the defense is tenacious and you can see these guys pouring it out on the court every night. I'm not sure how things will pan out in the playoffs but at least we won't be second guessing anyone's heart win or lose.

    I was the biggest T-Mac fan. He was the original reason I became a Rox fan.

    But now, I'm a Rockets fan first, above any other player.

    And I'm sorry, but we are playing way too good, and this team is too exciting to miss him. I'm enjoying the ride way to much.

    I was a huge advocate for him, makes me sad that he throws his team mates under the bus like that...

    If you missed low-efficiency game-losing me-ball, you can still catch AI on Pistons.

    I don't mean this years T-Mac. I mean last year's and 06-07 and 04-05 T-Mac obviously. This year has been a disaster for him.

    i voted no because i've grown sick and tired of his antics.

    but would i swallow my discontent if the 04-05 tmac came back? hells yes. the rockets would be an almost guaranteed lock to win the championship if that tmac came walking through the door. it wouldn't be fair really.

    I really think Tracy is a loser. It's mostly due to his mentality. He gets a team that can finally bring it all. All he had to be was be in shape like last year, deliver 20/6/6 and take over takes occasionally - things that he normally do with ease - but nope. He decided he would rather slack off and then feel like a victim.

    Great talent and hope he comes back strong next year, but it's hard to imagine him in a Rockets uniform again. He's a loser and really is a me-first guy. I really miss him though...watching him play...watching him laugh...watching him jump in a field of yellow flowers...

    He's out of shape. No one likes a fat T-Mac. I hate T-Mac much because I love him so much.

    Obviously, he has become a liability, and he doesn't fit well in our current lineup..

    but after watching that video, I do miss the explosiveness of T-Mac in his prime.

    Regardless of what he does for the team and regardless how much he is killed on these boards over and over, and regardless of how right that is, and regardless of his past lack of success, and regardless of the many injuries that have deteriorated what he is....

    Yes I miss seeing 2003-2005 McGrady very much so.
