    Michael Jordan shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as McGrady or anyone. Jordan was the truth. Jordan was blessed with a team for him to win 6 titles and was blessed with one hell of a coach. So please don't go there with that.

    A healthy Yao Ming. Without him we'd turn into a jump shooting team.

    Perfect example was last year, we had no chance of beating Utah. This year Yao is causing the Blazers to send all their bigs to stop him.

    He also has the best field goal % of all our players.

    I dont have any t-mac addidas shoes :cool: ........ and yeah, you are here since 99, but i dont see what that has to do with you mentioning t-mac directly or indirectly when you post almost everytime.

    I agree, people keep getting confused when people say a healthy Tracy McGrady with a prime Tracy McGrady. I think it's clear a prime T-mac is better than a current Yao Ming, but a healthy Tracy McGrady is a washed up player.

    People need to realize McGrady is not going to be the McGrady we saw in 2004 and in 2005.

    Yeah....I hope the Rockets can get enough to get Joe Johnson in 2010. Since he will be apart of the legendary free agent class as well as T-Mac and Yao. Joe Johnson would be perfect for Yao. He's pretty much a healthy T-Mac without the glitter all over his face.

    LOL your defending a Spur. I'll play your game.

    It's easy to win a championship when you have an olympic gold medalist and one of the best big men to ever play. Hows he doing now without one of them?

    Oh look! Same as Tmac! 1st round exit!

    I would rather take a Tmac that was hobbling on one leg before he went out than a healthy Ron Artest

    We would be out of the first round right now if McGrady was facing this Blazers team with these kind of role players...

    For someone who claims to love Rockets history you sure do ignore it when it doesn't suit your arguments. Having the best FG% doesn't mean you're the best player on the team nor does it mean you're a closer.

    Pop quiz, tinman. Who had the highest FG% on the first Rockets championship team?

    why don't you read the thread first before starting some crap.

    he asked me if i would rather have a healthy yao or a healthy tmac.

    this has nothing to do with closers.

    That's why I said it doesn't make you the best player, either.



    Answer: Otis Thorpe.

    Dude, you realize the Rockets would rejoice if we got rid of Tmac for Tony Parker.

    Yao would probably throw Tmac on the bus to San Antonio right now if that would happen.

    No, its not like Tmac cause he hasn't done anything.
    He can't even dunk.

    pop quiz halfnut,

    "he also has"...

    that doesn't mean " I think having the best fg% = best player"

    that just means "He also has"

    Didn't do to well in reading comprehension eh?
