    If T-Mac cant comeback 100 percent or around 90 then he shouldn't play .

    BUT

    If he can comeback to his old self only a fool would say we are better without him .

    Yes the Rockets are 8-1 in their last 9 games without Mcgrady. They would be 9-0 if Yao didn't bang his knees and get hurt in the Indiana game and had to miss most of the game and all of the 2nd half.

    Les still thinks of him to be a superstar and his play in the playoffs is amazing, that's why they didnt trade him.

    I agree that they are better this year with a T-Mac that is not close to healthy but you can't disagree that if McGrady was healthier, we would be in the top 2 of the West.

    I said Artest and TMac do not fit and Artest was a contract more easily moved.

    Had to choose one or the other.

    For the good of the team, Tracy should not be allowed on the court as a Houston Rocket...again.

    i dont want tbrick back either, but even an adamant poster like DD has to admit that our potential to be great is larger with tmac..i mean we've not had 10 games in a row with tmac/artest and yao together..who's to freaking say that it won't work out...maybe that's a reason why artest sucks balls with tmac too, it's a matter of hitting shots and being comfortable...tmac never stopped ball movement per se...hell we all wanted him to be better offensively...

    we all know..with brooks being more a finisher on offense...that tmac starting would be a better fit...it's obvious...you don't know..nobody knows...if tmac can buy into that sort of system LIKE HE DID LAST SEASON...we can be dangerous...don't be fooled...we haven't had any chemistry or consistency....today PHX got a wake up call...after not facing teams like the thunder/clippers...they got blown the **** out by boston without kg at home...

    tmac has that POTENTIAL to make our team great...i dont want him back...but it's hard not to thinka bout it...and completely forget this is the SAME LOSER that carried this team to the playoffs the past two years....

    brooks
    tmac
    battier
    scola
    yao

    with artest/lowry off the bench...or even start artest for even more feel, didn't that team go 4-1 during a stretch? it's all bout tmac's mentality when he comes back...not whether he'll pass the ball, since he does that, whether he'll be aggressive and actually help this team...which he's capable of doing, as we've seen in some games this season...it's dumb to just not even think about it....

    again i dont want tcrack back but it's also INTERESTING to see what POTENTIAL he could have with this team...that's undeniable...anybody that denies it is r****ded...

    but it's ok, let's not even think bout that....**** tmac, hopefully he never comes back ever, even in the nba in general...yay...for some ppl it seems like that might be important than even winning lmao..

    I don't have to admit anything.

    TMac is a loser, a cancer, he does not play well with the rest of the team.

    The team is MUCH better without him in ANY capacity.

    He is a ball stopper, a guy who demands touches, and doesn't trust his teamates to make decisions, and never runs.....

    And to top it off, he is lazy, selfish, and just tossed the entire organization under the bus.

    I do not want him ever to wear Rockets colors again...NEVER.....

    Is there any truth to these "rumors" he might not need surgery after all? Can anybody clarify?

    They said it appeared on ESPN radar. The only real way to know is tomorrow after he gets checked in chicago.

    Good Lord, will it ever end? Will it? Ever?!

    If that's true, BIG 'IF', I suppose I welcome the idea. Just so long as Adelman sits him and essentially says, "Look, we're 15-6 without you. We know you're not 100% therefore we're going to bring you off the bench and use you on a game-by-game basis. If you're knee is holding up and you're playing well I'll increase your minutes. Just be aware there will be games I'll try you out and pull you right away. You might play 30 minutes one night and 10 the next. Our second condition is we're playing team ball now which means an offense based on ball movement and not ISO's or ball domination. Moving without the ball and not sulking or crying about touches. Finally, it means intensity on both ends of the floor. Do you agree to these terms? If you don't, no hard feelings and congrats on becoming the next Stephon Marbury. "

    I can disagree. He was a ball stopper, he refused to play within the offense. That's got nothing to do with his injury.

    cry cry cry omg omg omg cry cry cry. Hiim averaging 5+ assists dismisses your logic of being a "ballstopper".

    I think he exaggerates, but McGrady's assists have nothing to do with it.
