    Tonight is just more proof.

    When he does decide to play, the ball always has to go through him. So as a result eveyone else just stands around and watches him jack is lousy jumpers all day.

    When he's out the Rockets play as a TEAM, everyone contributes, the ball movement is fantastic.

    I really think this team has enough talent to win in the playoffs as they are without him with Yao and Artest as the main guys.

    Hope we don't make any FOOLISH trades (like trading Artest, Landry, & Battier)!

    T Lazy is the cancer of the team right now! Should trade him!

    Rafer seems to look particularly awesome without McGrady taking the ball out of his hands.

    Rafer's best attribute is playmaking and that gets taken away from him when McGrady is in there. If McGrady was producing like he was a few years ago, maybe you justify it but not anymore.

    Rafer becoming a spot up shooter eliminates his best skill and highlights his worst.

    2 Good games isnt enough proof. Tmac has missed 15-20 games, have they won all of them?

    Old News, everybody on this team not named Yao Ming or Chuck Hayes is better with T-Mac out.

    Man I hope TMac is traded. How many lives does this guy have in staying on when the majority of fans and players don't want him. I wish him the best on his new team.

    When TMac is healthy, he would be an addition. If he is not healthy, he is need to rest.

    Try this against... Lakers, Magic, Blazers... consistently.



    It's easy to say it against a weaker East team.

    Les = Big Idiot. If he doesn't see that this team needs to trace Tracy Broke my Back McLady then he is totally blind. What is his infatuation with T-Slack?

    they're better without an INJURED tracy mcgrady.

    a healthy (mentally right with his physical health) tmac helps any team.

    EXACTLY. Rafer is a fine PG when he allowed to play PG. When Tmac plays and always brings the ball up that makes Rafer a 3 pt. jacking 2 guard, WHICH HE IS NOT.

    But you guys have to realize that when teammates are out with injuries.. and in our situation, playing in a sense of urgency, of course we're going to play better.

    It does not matter, most like me have had enough of Mr. Drama. I wish him the best on his new team. As for Houston the team and city deserve better.

    The problem is that Tmac has no explosiveness whatsoever this season. He was already a player that needed the ball in his hands and now he can't even be effective with it.

    In today's game, i saw like 4-5 quick passes and people driving and dishing out balls like crazy. Most people had the ball in their hands for about 2 seconds.

    When Tmac is in the game, Rafer brings the ball up court, gives it to Tmac and everyone stand still while Tmac dribbles, dribbles, fake, slow-motion drive and dish the ball out to a guy that hasn't moved for about 10 seconds and misses the shot.
