    Fran's always been hating on McGraddy. What else is new. Its expected from him. Hope T-Mac reads it and gets motivated :D

    You say Clutch has hinted towards McGrady hurting the team but does anyone remember the "Clutch, let the cat out of the bag on Ron artest" thread?

    Yet you say Fran is pretty spot-on, does that include his jock licking Ron Artest quote about T-Mac being a diva?

    Please.

    McGrady's doctors also said a couple of times that it was on them because they let him play when he clearly couldn't. Did you ignore those sources?

    I do not support Tracy's big mouth sometimes but to say he does it because his intent is to hurt the team? Sorry I cannot agree with that.

    As I said I didn't even skim, the article. I ignore close minded people.

    Say whatever you want but if you think this article is "spot-on", your just as blind as he is.

    Hes getting paid 23 million dollars to put a ball through a hoop. If that was me, people could say whatever they want about me and it wouldnt phase me one bit, as it shouldnt.

    Its a piece by a notorious mcgrady hater. You REALLY dont need to look this much into it, much less critique the article.

    I promise you no one on our team gives 2 ****s about what Franny writes.

    i sent an e-mail to Fran (sounds like a girl) - looks like Newman from seinfeld

    We rocket fans Know why you write the BS you do. The reasons why you write for NBA.com are known too. He is human, and yes he is in a contract year. ANYONE in his position would want to continue being paid. If he was Steve Francis (doing what t-mac has done) his name wouldn't bring much discussion. This guy is special. You knew it when he hit 13 in 33... all rox fans had tears of joy in their eyes. The reason rox fans are sometimes down on him is b/c what of he CAN DO. All he wants is a fresh start. Media writers like you who want to discredit him are not doing anything for us rocket fans. I mean hell, we have no superstars to watch, and on top of that - articles like yours give that fatso Barkley reasons to say the rockets are the worst team in the league. At the worst, what you write lowers his trade value. So pick on another guy, try A.I. Houston does not want to have to hear your BS any more. I am singing the same song many other fans are singing on All rocket websites, forums radio programs etc. You have motives for writing crap like this. We want to read positive things, and obviously you cant. Maybe your bitter? Your article made Rocket Fans sick.


    - this is what i wrote, it may have not been well thought out but it was very spur of the moment.

    I am scared for the day that Tracy McGrady retires or leaves the Rockets. 50% of this board would have no purpose anymore.

    It does not matter what I studied and how bad my grammar sometimes is.
    What's more important is can you shed a light on what happened in the locker room one year ago? Are you sure there were others involved outside of those three names mentioned?

    You tell me how officially I became a hater tmac.

    Funny how all the posters with his name in their monikers wanna come out and defend him now. Not my fault you chose that for a screen name pal.

    Where were you guys when he was getting slayed for what he did around all star break? Didn't see many defendants of his then.

    But now that he's close ya'll come out of the wood works.

    Ha, funny. :rolleyes:

    The man just wants to play. I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do. I think the "facilitator" tmac could be beneficial. If he can't run for long periods fine... play him as the situation calls in short minutes. At least Tmac ain't being AI. He really wants to play. Don't understand the hatred nowadays... peoples memories are selective. He came here to play with Yao, was a top scoring guard at the time, could have went anywhere else but chose H-town. He's been loyal and not some little byatch so I ain't going all pippen on him. Can't be any worse than Brian Cook.

    Interesting, first of all I don't recall Artest saying TMac is a diva. Regarding my memory of what Clutch "hinted at" after Alston was traded. There were a lot of things leaking out then, and it was surprising to hear, if only because we've had the tightest internal lock-down of locker room problems for at five years.

    Remember Deke admitting there were problems? Who do you think was important enough to cause problems? Von Wafer???

    The Rockets need to squash all of this because we'd like to be able to get something (if possible) out of, or for, TMac.

    Tmac does need to redeem himself, and many hard-core Tmac guys get that.

    Yet some don't, and many of those use bizarre terms like "jock-licking" when their posts are doing exactly that (as far as I can understand the meaning).

    Deke pretty much admitted that ARTEST was the main cause of the frictions when he said h prays for the lakers lockyer room with ron there now.
