    Just like the old T Mac, never taking responsibly for anything and owning up to anything. I hope no one signs him next season.

    I noticed that last night and loved it. AB really conveyed that when he didn't pass it to him and drove to the basket instead. I think it sends a great message. "This is a new team Tracy, get in where you fit in" I however, didn't like him arguing with Scola, that's inappropriate.

    He wasn't arguing. The Denver broadcast had a better angle on what was going on and they were smiling. Just discussing things on the court. It happens all the time in when I played in high school.

    Go back and watch again, there was another time where Melo missed the shot and no foul was called on T-Mac. I know there was a foul on the first play. Another example of people focusing on the negative.

    If Melo got 20 free throw attempts, again how many of those were when T-Mac guarded him? And that would be two foul shots because T-Mac only committed one foul in the minutes he played.

    :rolleyes: Back atcha buddy.

    he slows the team down. we need someone thats going to constantly be movin wit the team on the off and def end. i dont thk he does. he still likes 2hang out by that 3point line. i kno its early but so far he looks the same imo (he doesnt seem to be attempting to chg his off style 2fit the team's)..he always been a nice passer but lack of movement...if it continues i thk they should go in a different direction...and im not a tmac basher..thats just how he's looked to me so far....of course he'll have 1nice off game n ill chg my mind :)

    I don't want to be a wanker, but we ran those iso plays for him. The coaching staff slowed the play down for him. I'm pretty sure we can't run isos for him unless the coach has said, dish it to Mac and let him do his thing. Its clearly experimentation on how his going

    Yeah, like this response.

    Did I say McGrady is awesome/McGrady sucks? I dont know what zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists, 1 turnover and 1 foul does for you...

    Ok Chase started and had 2 points and played 14 mins with 1 turnover also and 4 let me repeat that 4 fouls. so what does that say about him. Mind you he didn't come off micro-fracture surgery. He isn't 30 years old. He is (probably ) a better shooter than mcgrady.

    What does chase do for you? Nothing. Lowry didn't have such a good game either. Basically the whole team didn't. Especially giving up 111 points.

    Whose to blame?? is it because of the altitude??

    I guess Chase really hurt the team and therefore should be traded.

    Unlike some people on this forum im not quick of trading players just because they had one bad outing or even one bad season. I like Chase. He did his thing in Arizona. Laugh at me now but I think Chase is going to become a Mike Miller but better.

    tmac is saying all the right words ... kinda unreal.

    did he just hire a new PR consultant?

    Original post DD
    go to :24 seconds of that video and watch Melo blow by Tmac from the right block for the and one.

    I was only commenting on this play, that was it. That is why I said that he fouled Melo in that specific play. Not the entire game, that play.

    This is obviously all PR! Adelman, Tmac, Rockets, everyone is in on this conspiracy to trick us! I mean, didn't you guys hear what the clutchfans "source" and Adrian Woj told us!? quotes are B.S, Adrian and unnamed sources are the most credible.

    Ok. Thanks for clarifying your point for me.

    It just appears to me that others pick one bad thing and harp on it at the expense of any positives. If we did that no one on our team would be safe. Concerning T-Mac, opinions here seem to be extreme in either direction. Going back to his defense on Melo, for whatever reason there weren't a lot of plays called for Melo during that stretch. I liked how McGrady played up on Melo. One of those plays, I felt like Melo came close to hooking Mac but I wouldn't expect that to be called.

    On offense, T-Mac is still hesitant for good reason but his team would have helped him if they could've finished off some of his passes.

    Overall the team just didn't look good. It happens just hopefully not too much.

    From Johnathan's Blog

    It looks like the Tracy McGrady trade rumors will start coming in. There are a few things to keep in mind, besides that a few (but not all) over the past few years were completely bogus. (You might notice, he's still here.)

    And still will be in a Rockets uniform... At least for this season. Who knows what will or could happen in the offseason

    No doubt about that. It's Adelman's way. He won't let him go solo for long stretches but he does want to see what Tracy can or cannot do.
