I agree with that, only that.

You can agree with it, but it clearly wasn't true because they're using Lowry perfectly and Brooks in the starting rotation makes the Rockets a much better offensive team then Alston as the starting PG.

Honestly I don't think Artest and Battier truly "contained" Lebron James. The rest of the Rockets held their own against the other players but the man still had 21 points. Yes the Rockets are not better than a fired up and healthy TMac. Sad to say but a Healthy TMac would still be the best player on our roster. I think Adleman is just not a good coach for a guy like the Mac. He needs a guy like Phil J or Pat Riley or JVG to push him and shove into him the mentality he needs for every game and practice. We tend to mock and laugh at the criticism from Kenny Smith and Barkley because we love and believe in our team but at the end of it all we have yet to prove to them other wise. If we make it past the first round then we can start talking....

He also shot 7 of 21 from the field and had no assists. They contained him. And what a weak excuse, now you're going to blame Adelman for McGrady's shortcomings!? The guy coached Drexler and Christie and Artest yet McGrady, and All-World player, suddenly can't play well? The fact that, at this point in his career, he needs ANYBODY to motivate him to be a champion is pretty sad and pathetic. You may decide to not talk but we'll do plenty of talking. And the fact is, this team is better without McGrady right now.
