My guess is that without Yao they've just fallen back to what they're comfortable with. The troubling thing about Adelman's offense and the...
That's the key issue with Manu. You get more bang for the buck than with T-Mac. That $10 million could go a long ways towards picking up a...
The fact that Manu's willing to come off the bench as a sixth man speaks powerfully to his unselfishness. Anywhere else and he would be a starter.
Move the ball. Try and break down the defense with ball movement. Aim to have every Rocket on the court touch it once per possession.
It's a tough call. Next season we can't have anymore crap where the ball moves around and when it gets to McGrady it just stops. This is...
And Hakeem had a whole bunch of playoff games where he shot .333, or series where he averaged less than .400. T-Mac doesn't deserve a lot of...
That supporting cast carried T-Mac in game 1, not the other way around.
What's strange is how the Rockets have basically given up on the motion offense. Now T-Mac gets the ball and dribbles, dribbles, dribbles. If...
T-Mac can't carry a team. If Yao's the centerpiece and T-Mac can play off of him the Rockets could do well.
I seriously think there's a good amount of delusion running loose on this board. Look, I want the Rockets to win as much as the next guy. But...
Everyone gets swarmed when they get into the paint. By that standard every player in the NBA draws a "double". If you take off the fanboy...
What game were you watching? T-Mac did not get double and triple coverage the whole night. Kirilenko, Harpring and Korver did a very decent job...
Agreed. I strongly suspect that this "slump" has a lot to do with age and wear and tear. T-Mac's not going to get any younger.
This year they've got a deeper bench. Plus look at the impact Scola's had. With Yao I'd have the Rockets in 7. If Bynum were still out for...
Argh. It might be more accurate to write that he failed Shane and Scola. T-Mac had some good quarters, but he was inconsistent. The two blue...
One last thing: I don't think T-Mac deserves a lot of criticism for tonight's game. But this garbage about what a great job he did and how...
Yes, T-Mac had a tough game. Let's face it, the guy's lost a step. That said, he struggled for the same reason the rest of the Rockets...
No, the loss is on Yao. If he was playing the Rox might have had a chance. Utah is just too talented and the Rockets are just missing too many...
T-Mac's older and he's lost a step. Don't crucify the guy for getting old.
Who cares? Anyone who could look at the series with a bit of objectivity was thinking to themselves that it was going to be very, very tough...
