    (STUPID) Media Question: "Coach, do you think that not only blew an opportunity but you know, they're without their best player -- is that kind of frustrating that you couldn't get a win?"

    Adelman: "We're without our two best, so .... I don't feel sorry for them." (walks off) "They're a good team."

    <HR>

    TWO best? Did it seem strange to you that Adelman would say the Rockets are missing their "two best" players when they're public about trading T-Mac and have admitted he's nowhere near the player he once was? Was he talking about Aaron Brooks being in foul trouble?

    I'll be glad to see McGrady go, but I do miss him. Am I crazy?

    Who was the idiot who asked this incredibly stupid question? Adelman should have:

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b2nPPGRg0c8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b2nPPGRg0c8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Tracy is no where near to what he once was,but I think Adelman was referring to Yao and him,at their best.

    Despite all of his issues, there is no disputing that McGrady was the 2nd most talented player on this roster in the past 3-4 years.

    Umm ok so now McGrady's "our best"? He's on the bench and HE CAN PLAY RICK. Trade him or play him because we need to do something, this team is crumbling.

    You're without one because YOU wanted him gone and said you couldn't find minutes for him. Keep plugging and chugging along Rick.

    Rockets truly screwed themselves over by mishandling the Mcgrady situation.

    Nobody even cares about Mcgrady performance it's soley about the contract. Had he come back onto the court and been able to average say 20PPG at a nice percentage his value would of sky rocketed for contenders.

    Nice one Les/Morey.

    I was elated with the win in SA and now it all has been a nightmare. I am hoping for a better turn of events with the next 3 home games. Need to take all three of them.

    I'm in the same position where you at. Miss him when watching our recent performance down the stretch, weak finish to the end of the game.

    It's not entirely all Les or Morey, Rick's the one who doesn't want to play McGrady.

    Oops forgot to include his name in there. After all he is the head coach.

    Thanks !
