    That was no mistake. The guy decided to take a vacation in the middle of a game.

    And again, last year when Yao went down the whole team stepped up. Chemistry and teamwork made the streak, not any one player.

    That's better than quitting on your team.

    Go back and look at the games in the 22 win streak. T-Mac came up MIA against the Lakers and the Rockets still won. That wasn't the only game where he vanished.

    Who cares? If Kobe jumped off a cliff would that make it okay for T-Mac to do it?

    It was more than one game. As I recall he didn't show up for the Cleveland game either.

    Point stands--the Rockets' success depends on the players playing as a team, not on any one player.

    Dude!!! :)

    Billups ain't perfect but he's highly skilled, far more durable, plays hard and intelligently at both ends of the court and is a better leader.

    I'll take a freaky Billups shot over a freaky Grady shot, especially when you consider all the other things Billups does better.

    this is so hilarious.

    If there were 5 Tmacs on Orlando, they couldn't stop 1 Shaq in the paint.

    what if the third one doesn't have Tmac on the team?
    They ain't trading Yao Ming.

    It's not even a contest. As much as I think Shaq can be an a-hole at times, I don't think a Shaq would ever let a team go 1-19, no matter how disgruntled he was with management. And he did take his team to the Finals one year.
