    all i know is what i see.
    every time TMac plays, we either barely beat a bad team or lose. and both results involve us playing an ugly game.

    when TMac doesn't play, we either barely lose or win. and both results involve us playing well and giving a full effort.

    in my opinion, if we could trade TMac and get any player of some value that could help the team...we should do it

    That's right, if you're a fan - you need to check your individual thoughts at the door. As long as the guy is on the roster, you worship him unconditionally and cut out the objectivity.

    Also, don't let the others hate. British spellings are wonderfully colourful. Our defence is superior whilst Yao is playing centre. There could be no arguement. Tracy will round back into form, he's just playing on a flat tyre - take that to banque.

    The fans has high expectation when the Rockets bought McGrady for 20mil+. They (the fans) would like to see high return in this investment but obviously what they are seeing now is an ever shrinking return. Now you can't really blame them can you?

    YoYo, Thanks for your correction. My memory fails me. But those two playoff series we lost while being 2-0 is really on the team. Basketball is never a one person game. I know we should not find excuses for ourselves by judging the judges or other things. But whenever I think of that, I really feel regret for the rockets. "Damn it, the stupid refs agagin ruin my summer!" This is what jumps out of my mind after those two losses in the first round.
    I play basketball every weekend and whenever I don't have classes in the afternoon. you know what really freaks me out: your teammates barely knows how to play! I don't care my opponents are good or not and I am not afraid if they are taller, quicker or anything. The only thing which really can piss me off is when my teammates plays like trash or they barely know how to play this game. Do you know that kind of feeling.
    I have always appreciated the Rockets team. I admit the love for the game began with Michael Jordan and the love for the team began with my concern for Yao. But as I grew up, I really began to see the timportance of the team spirit. It's the team work that counts. Have you ever heard a final MVP says it's all my contribution?
    Also thanks for fmullegun, I don't know it's a British English forum! Rookie mistake

    I'll stop criticising players when they're not making millions of dollars to play a game that I have to pay to see.
