We need to just leave it alone imo , you cam keep basjhing |T-Mac and I won't try to defend him from now on , maybe I try to defend too much because I feel thats he is also getting blames for things he shouldn't get blamed on and everybody but me is bahsing him.

I like both you and Baller as posetrs so just leave it alone , bash T-Mac all you want I won't say anything , I will even play along.

Utah just played a tough game vs the Mavericks. They may be tired, but they will have their whole team except Boozer. I think Bullard said tonight that Adelman may not have Tracy, Artest or Shane tomorrow. Did I hear that right?

Yeah, I respect you as well, I really hope that T-Mac comes back to that level we know he can. He wasn't the sole reason we lost tonight, but a big reason. He needs a big bounce back game tomorrow, and it's national tv, so do or die. Unless of course he doesn't play, like AJ is saying..

Yeah, I don't like the deal either if it were to happen.

btw, I don't think T-Mac is "done," per say, I just think he needs to be more aggressive and get a heart transplant...

Lol I just saw your sig; I don't think hes done---I'm not saying that at all, but I just think some of his actions were wrong in the off season, and don't necessarily agree with his bad habits. But I don't think hes done; I'm hoping he can bounce back, and from what we've seen the past 2 seasons, he very well still will.


Anyway, we should win this game, and lets hope McGrady and Yao have some heard feelings and revenge, because its going to feel awesome beating up on the Jazz (lets hope!).

No offense, but somebody must be smoking some good vegetables to be defending McGrady's gallant effort for the past two games. How one thinks that everything will be alright and continues to show one's endless support... I think it's almost borderline (Please Use More Appropriate Word); one's almost brain-washed if you will. Can he bounce back? Maybe. But right now he's playing like a D-league material and hasn't learned to bounce back. McGrady's been indecisive with the ball and appears to be having a huge mental lapse. The best support usually comes from a well-constructed criticism, yet the media and some fans continuing to protect McGrady and his superstar image. Yall should give the man some criticism when they're due. Endless support and favoritism won't do any good for the player himself.

If McGrady fails to perform in this game, that would be 3 games in a row. In that case, I would strongly suggest starting Artest at the 2 while putting McGrady on the bench. This team will not get out of the first round if they keep waiting for McGrady to have a good game. And instead of giving McGrady the minutes that can potentially go to waste, guys like Barry, Landry (if he stays), and Head should get some more minutes where they all can get used to playing without McGrady.

Another thing, I'd like to see is Adelman experimenting his PG rotation. Start Brooks and have Alston come off the bench, and we'll see how that turns out.

I know you guys don't feel he is really done , it's all in good spirits , I wanna see how many people will be on the bandwagon by the time he starts playing like last year and thge year before again.

What spirit? To prove that you're a better fan because you don't criticize McGrady when the criticism is due? I don't hate you but whatever you're trying to do with that sig, while I think it's silly I'm not gonna tell you to take it down. Just remember that we're all Rockets fans here and we're supporting each and every one of our players on the roster. However when someone doesn't get the job done, you gotta be able to provide some constructive criticism (like Baller and TMACFORMVP did) instead of supporting what he's been doing.

So neither Boozer nor Millsap will be playing in this game. What more can you ask?
McGrady plays well against the Jazz, so I hope goes all out in a good old-fashion.

Scola and Kirilenko should be interesting. Scola's going against one of the best floppers in the league and in order for him to win this matchup he must outflop Kirilenko.

Kirilenko is such a disgrace

I'm not sure he's worse than Scola, who is quite a disgrace himself with his own flopping.

This game is there for the taking. The Jazz are missing their top 3 frontcourt players. Yao needs to step up today with McGrady in a slump and the Jazz missing their guys including his mortal enemies Mehmet Okur and Carlos Boozer.

I didn't defend his play for the last 2 games , I defend him to those guys who say he is done because I don't think he is done.

And I don't appreciate you calling me (Please Use More Appropriate Word) because I think different than you and don't think he is done like you , but I will hold my self for now and not call you any names.

Good spirits I am talking about the sig , And I will say it again , Mcgrady deserves criticism because he is playing like crap , but there is a difference between criticism and saying he is done.
I don't think he is done and I think he will be the same as last year in a few weeks.

Saying the guy is done , the Rockets are done and have no hope for a few times like Baller and TMACFORMVP and smapor did is not constructive criticism.

And even if you did ask me to take the sig down what makes you think I will listen to you?
Who the **** do you think you are?

Chill the **** out kid, I didn't ask you to take the sig down. I just said it's silly but now that you're making a big deal out of it, you're acting a big tough guy trying to prove a point to the rest of us. What do you get out of it? A college degree? A **** job? Pride? Does it make you feel better trying to make a point on the internet? Lay it off idiot.

You've been acting a tough guy and it's time for someone to show you some **** humility.
