    I have to confess. I also took creepy pictures of other random people that I don't even know.

    Good thing Thabeet wasn't there, or he would've yelled at you.

    how so? its just a damn sig. besides the hiring jvg part its not irrational.

    but the hate for tmac is... the guy gave it 100%, especially in the playoffs. he was without a doubt the BEST IN THE NBA during his spell here in houston. i dont understand where the hate comes from... the game in Toronto? so what people have bad nights, it was only a regular season game. does the hate come from him electing to have surgery before notifying the rockets? the guy wants to have surgery so he can recover from injuries and still be able to compete in the nba, yet only gets criticism and is hated because he did so preventing houston's ability to trade him? - thats irrational. in that situation tmac should have looked out for what is best for him, and he did so.

    so i have no hatred for tmac, the guy gave us his best years in houston. and i thank him for it...

    People need to mind their own business. Is it acceptable to take photos of people because you dislike the jersey they're wearing?

    Y'all are fu**ing r****ded. It's a jersey of a player who was great in his prime in your hometown team. If he wants to wear the jersey, let him wear the damn jersey.

    Sheesh.

    Heavily discounted on Stubhub courtesy of the Nets' horrible season.

    yea its normal i would say...i mean, they guy sold a crap load of jerseys, and not everyone buys jerseys often. So they just wear it for the Rockets, not the name on the back. I bought a brooks jersey last year, ill wear it to Toyota center lol.

    Nothing wrong with it Mr.Herrera. In fact, to the rest of the league, Tracy McGrady was pretty much the face of the Rockets for most of the 2000's. It didn't end well that's for sure but believe it or not, that jersey means a lot more than just the ugly ending to his tenure here.

    Get some perception people.

    McGrady surgery and trading

    Guys, there is always a physical involved in any NBA trade. If any team wanted to wave the physical, it would not matter if McGrady had surgery or not. If they did care, McGrady would not have been able to pass the physical. The surgery did nothing to change whether or not he could have been traded.

    At least McGrady was a solid superstar the franchise built around. Him and Yao were the face of the team at one point.

    Right now this whole team is a bunch of tradable commodities, who's jersey would you wear? At this point probably the best thing to do is wear a jersey that says on the back "Draft Pick", "Free Agent", or maybe "To be named later"

    You have brought us back to one of the fundamental philosophical quandaries: reality is in the eye of the beholder. You sir have the eye of a hater.
