When has T-Mac? The diminishment of his physical gifts, the focus on an inside-out offense, the ability of Yao to demand a constant double team...
Seriously, it's all about the $. If T-Mac were making Manu money Houstonites would love him, he'd be pegged as an overachiever and his trade...
You know, your continual habit of trying to redirect any criticism, even imagined, of T-Mac by trashing his teammates says legions about your...
Yao + Kobe + Gasol + Odom + Fisher = Holy Crap.
The real issue with T-Mac and the fans is his health. There's a sense that he's peaked and that every year down the road just represents a...
There's no question. I'd do a T-Mac for Sheed/Billups trade in a heartbeat. In one stroke you've solved the PG situation and picked up a tough,...
That's pretty much the case. I think it's interesting that people on this thread are claiming that Manu's only useful because he plays on the...
I don't give credit to T-Mac. That LA game is a perfect example. He vanished and the rest of the team stepped up big time. He may have had 8...
Manu's also a lot cheaper. That's the big issue.
And attributing that to McGrady is incorrect. I think it was Celzic on MSNBC who pointed out that the Rockets were winning because of that most...
Even if it's just injuries the critical point is that T-Mac will always be accumulating those. He might come into next season healthy but it's...
And a lot of those teams were crippled by injuries. Luck doesn't hurt when it comes to rolling up a big win streak.
It was a 10 game winning streak without Yao, not 22. And if not for Yao's absence in the Utah game in the loss before the streak started we could...
I completely disagree. The closest thing the Rockets have to a floor leader in Rafer Alston, ironically enough. T-Mac and Yao are just not the...
If you think McGrady is a leader you're crazy. Blinebury over at the Chronicle has pointed out over and over again that it's just not in...
How is Manu a max 32 mpg guy? Popovitch started him in a bunch of games this post season and he's carried the team in any number of critical...
$9 million isn't chump change in this league. I think that's more than TJ Ford's salary this coming season. Just for the sake of...
Thanks. I really, really think the Rockets just need to move the ball and that problem will take care of itself. If they don't get an open look...
The critical issue with the double team is exploiting it. When the other team decides to double Yao that should be a net advantage to the Rockets...
Let me take this opportunity to compliment your excellent bball knowledge and judgement! :D
