    I know, that's somethimg you can't really fake. You can see that he is having a nice low key, minor limelight time in Houston because of the unprecidented magnitude of attention that Yao is getting.

    " It's nice to be on a real team"....

    In the the words of Peter Griffin..." SSssss...Ahhh...sssss...ahhh"

    One can only wonder if Steve is gonna have something similar to say, eventhough I've seen the Magic and they look like garbage becuz it's so disorganized.

    I dont think he was talking about Steve and Co. I think he meant his CBA team wasnt a real team. Just my first reaction.

    No. The comment McGrady responded to was "I can tell from your smile that it's more fun the play with a dominant big man" to which McGrady directly stated "Oh yeah, it's more fun to play with a real team". Clearly a dig at the Orlando Magic management IMO.

    T-mac was digging at the Magic

    it will not be Steve's fault if the the magic stink (just like it wasn't t-mac's, or Shaw's fault) - this is a poorly run franchise with bad ownership

    They've played 3 games together! 3 preseason games where they're still trying to get their main rotation worked out. In the game thread for last night's game someone said "Geez it's only preseason", in defense of the Rockets, so you gotta look at that for other teams too.

    The Magic are gonna be fine, just like the Rockets are (well maybe not THAT well off, but you get my point ;) )

    T-Mac was taking a shot at Orlando management, that had just took a shot at him and the Rockets the other day. The Rockets look REALLY good. They're athletic, deep, balanced and fast. This is going to be a dynamite team!

    We've played 3 preseason games as well and we know something about the rotation and so should they...

    They already knew that Francis, mobley, Hill, Howard, Cato would be on the floor.

    We already knew Ward, Mcgrady, Jackson, Howard, Ming would be on the floor for us.

    We just got a better squad because of the interior presence of Yao in the middle. Plus we have a coach that doesn't like to lose and in Orlando it isn't unusual to lose a game or 70 of them.

    I really don't understand the thinking that goes on behind the Magic Organization. First they had something budding in the Shaq, Penny era and they blew that up. Then with Mc grady they give him a new coach, promises that don't happen, and look as if they don't care about winning what so ever. Heck they even got rid of Mike Miller who was playing decent second fiddle to Mcgrady. I honestly feel bad for Steve and Cat. I think Cat could be a missing link to someone's championship run and I love his attitude. I hope those two don't get accustomed to losing just because of their new franchise.
