    Rockets are stupid for nt playing McGrady...

    They are decreasing any trade value he had and he still is the best player on the team...

    Bad management and coaching in my opinion...

    This will come back and bite the Rockets in the long run...

    If you think today's McGrady could hold today's Landry's jock strap, I don't know what to tell you.

    McGrady is the idiot here. Unlike Marbury or Tinsley, he was given an in. He had a 8 minute stretch each night to prove to everyone that the Rockets were wrong to bury him. To prove that he was ready like he claimed in early November. To prove that Tim Grover had him in supreme shape like he claimed. To silence the critics that dogged him since the infamous Toronto, Cleveland, and Milwaukee games last year.

    If he had 4 games like the one he had vs the Clippers, he'd be vindicated. Instead, he was the slowest Rocket on the court each night and the worst defender each night, and the offense was awol nearly every night.

    Even with all of that, McGrady's end goal is getting his next contract. His effort and mouth in Orlando, and this latest walk out just cost him more money. He's making it impossible for teams not to see that he isn't going to work hard, isn't going to take direction from his coaches, and will continue to expect superstar treatment despite being completely without his former athleticism.

    What could the Rockets do differently? They catered to his whims last year and allowed him to repeatedly wreck things. He's a poor sight on the court, and giving him more minutes is an insult to everyone else on the roster.

    It was RR, he was against even trading for him, IIRC.

    You have risen very fast.....

    Clearly you are a man who understands the difference between personal stats and winning basketball.

    One of the few, the proud, the KNOWING !

    Clutch would be on there too but the guy is too much of a coward to put him on that list and get banned again.

    ;)

    This is probably one of the main reasons adelman felt no need to play him any more minutes than he was currently receiving without showing any improvement. He would lose a lot of credibility with the rest of the roster.

    He was on the list. Clutch showed me a video he made, which was praising Tracy. How could I label him a hater after seeing that?

    Unlike muppets like yourself who sit behind a computer desk, I'm actually involved in the sport. Do you know what i feels like to have young Basketballers ask for your guidance?

    No need to go into details about how I'm involved in Basketball, because I don't need a label under my user name to make me feel good about my Basketball knowledge.

    I know Tracy's flaws, however, I'm not needed here to be unbiased. I'm here to counter the extreme number of biased haters like you.

    Not as much space as the blind, ignorant hate that is posted here.

    Why yes, yes I do, am coaching a team now in fact....thanks. Actually have coached for many years...

    Well you are doing a lousy job of it, I hope you coach better than you make your point on here.

    The silverback knows that you have no point, and it is not blind hate, the only thing blind is the adoration of a fallen star who has made his own bed and is now whining that it is stinky...oh well....

    Tough love....COACH !

    Oh gee, one team huh?

    No need to give the actual number, but I coach multiple teams and one-on-one work with players who are not on those teams.

    So yeah, the label of rookie under my surname does nothing for my ego or confidence in my knowledge of the actual game, unlike some people.
