    I can agree with this, although you are basically saying "I agree with whatever the coach decides".

    I think people are forgetting how many times this Rockets' team WITH TMac faltered in the fourth quarter repeatedly.

    AK87, you seem like an intelligent person, but if you read the threads about this, Feigan's article today, there is no way tmc is being PC.

    And like I said, I'm not going to belabor the point and you don't want to listen with logic anyway, so Good Day, AK87...I said Good Day!

    Most of these articles say the same thing just worded differently. Tell us something we don't already know.

    Thank you for that. The 23rd day was supposed to give a lot of answers to all those nagging questions. Even Morey said that planty of times - look for the 23rd for more updates.

    ANd what we got? Pretty much NO ANSWERS and even a lot more questions.

    Amazing.

    The coach and Morey. Yeah, I'll go with them on this. Morey's got my trust, I can see that he's working very hard to get this organization going. And Adelman has proven himself over the decades.

    What does that have to do with him projecting the type of player Tracy will become down the road?

    You guys are reaching so bad now it's gone beyond funny to straight up pathetic.

    "ooooohhh Trevor Ariza said McGrady is going to be the old Tmac again! Then it must be true!"

    Never mind the reality of the situation or the reality of what post-microfracture players over the age of 30 become.

    Hmmm, I would be tempted to go to Yao instead in the clutch based off that data. Let's give Brooks and Ariza a few opportunities this year.

    So basically, if T-mac wants to play he needs to prove it in practice. Seems fair.

    Let me add 1 more thing. I believe that RA and Morey are done pampering T-mac. That's what this whole thing is about. T-mac believes he deserves to play just because he's T-mac, even though he hasn't practiced with the team. While RA and Morey want him to actually earn a spot in the rotation and prove that he can help the team. If not, then what is the point of disrupting the current rotation.

    Why wouldn't we be inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to a Hall of Fame coach as opposed to a bunch of ranting bobbleheads on a fanforum site?

    dude I'm just listening to what a player who has guarded tmac before and is probably guarding him in practice says. I'm not reaching anything.

    We will know for sure when he does play. The only thing I hear Tracy lacking from all angles is basically cardio.

    I haven't seen him play so obviously I have to go by who has seen him play in practice or workouts. U wanna take that as reaching, then fine.

    We shouldn't believe what the players in practice say. These message board folks know more than Ariza does. :rolleyes:

    Sometimes the mist of paranoia can enshroud people's minds.

    The Rockets fans can expect too to have a one and done playoff series, if they ever get to the playoffs. McGrady's playoffs record is what it is, sorry.

    I had no idea Ariza had experience with evaluating players after they had microfracture surgery. Can you show me where he picked up that knowledge, Shaud?

    While you're at it can you tell me the players over the age of 30 who came back to their previous form after microfracture?

    Thanks
