    Ok folks. Iverson is now only 30 K behind McGrady. Time to let the Rockets fans' vote be heard and give T-Mac his final push to help him hold his very slim lead.

    For those that feel McGrady needs to rest back, doesn't deseve to start, or that the chinese vote will get him in than that is fine no need to respond to this thread. move along. ;)

    tmac doesnt need rest, he needs his confidence reinforced. missing the allstar game might make him regress to the 'woe is me' tmac from the beginning of the season. i voted him in because i want tmac to know he has my support...

    on the other hand, it might light a fire and have him step up his game to show how much he's got left. but judging from his retirement comments, he doesn't seem to think that he's got a whole lot.

    Yesssssssss, we have hope!

    10 more days and T-Mac will have this in the bag.

    Make the final push, vote everyday for 10 days! T-Mac needs to hold it down for H-Town, especially since Yao probably isn't going to be playing due to injury!

    Dude doesn't need rest. He's gonna be out there partying, might as well play. Not voting him in b/c of rest doesn't make sense. He's gonna be there anyway. Might as well work off the drinking.

    yeah really DaDa man, it's not like Mac is going to die out there in the allstar game and sweat like a fool. it's not a playoffs game or anything. it's the allstar game. they just go there and have fun. and believe me, starting in the ASG will help Mac a whole lot more than getting the "rest". it's only 48 minutes of fun dang it, and he probably wont play more than 25 mins.

    PLEASE VOTE 4 MAC..

    If he isnt voted in by the fans, I'm sure the coaches will vote him in. Dude deserves to be a starter though. He has saved our season at a time when things seemed desolate. :)
