    That's your fantasy.

    Brent Barry gave up info on the matter... McGrady wasn't able to pass procedural tests that was set upon him.

    I like rick,he's a good coach but uhhhh
    1.yao had surgery
    And
    2.the team kicked tracy off the team
    So why whine about it now if they didn't even want him 2 play
    NO GOOD EXCUSE FOR THAT ONE RICK!!!

    Now I don't feel bad for thinking that we did mishandle the situation.

    It was all fine and dandy then so we thought we could get by until the trade deadline.

    I was all for moving Mcgrady, but we could have at least gotten some production out of a max contract.

    T-mac's an idiot, surely he would have made most of those tests and goals by now

    He did not refuse to play him. McGrady refused to accept the minutes he was being given and asked to be traded. Quit making things up.

    McGrady is only 30. He has game left. Barkley always said he lost his game in his 30s, but I thought he was a better player. A human pogo stick does not a basketball player make.

    I also think he's cabable of playing good defense, not every play because he's not wired that way, but good enough..

    it's sports and even coaches' moods change like the weather.

    when we played well when tmac was still on the team, rick felt he didn't need tmac.

    now we're struggling, he misses him.

    nothing surprising.

    i'm sure him watching trevor ariza every game has to make him pull his eyes out.

    if you're mcgrady, and you request for an "increase" in minutes (he never said he wanted 20 or 30), and the coach said he had no plans, i think as a player, you know what is going on.

    tmac just wanted to things to speed up the divorce process.

    b/c SERIOUSLY, you can't ease a guy to like 8 minutes the next game, then 9, then 10, then 11?

    Adelman new while the team was overachieving he'd get all the praise for it so he can get his contract extension.

    Exactly. Even coaches around the league didn't understand what the Rockets were trying to accomplish playing him 7 min a game. Too small of a sample size.

    clutch, tmac and Yao ARE not our 2 best. He was just saying that as an excuse b.c the loss was saline.

    Coach let one slip because usually were always the ones undermanned and now that they didn't have melo he had to pull that card.

    That being said, I dont understand how mcgready could be any worse than ariza. It is sad watching this team's chemistry just disappear.

    I don't understand alot of newbs here.

    Clutch is just posting the news, this is not an opinion.

    A knew jerk reaction to news?

    When the Rockets lose, it doesn't mean that the thread sucks.

    Thanks for the interesting quote Clutch... None of these fools care about the details as you do.

    99ers rule

    i am a huge proponent of adelman but i can't defend the reason he lets ariza chuck 20+ shots a game.

    Sorry but thats not rockets basketball, even though trevor doesn't anymore he refused to take any minutes away from him at first and now this?
