Tracy McGrady is holding the Rockets hostage. Is that simple enough?
There’s no easy answer to this problem. You may think there is, but there’s not.
The Rockets already have suggested he take another chunk of time off. He declined, saying he wants to play through the pain in his left knee this time and will take off selected games.
So he’s terrible in a loss at Toronto on Friday and didn’t play Saturday night in Atlanta. Sometimes in, sometimes out.
Good written article if you guys read the whole thing; he explains that this team won't get far enough in the playoffs without McGrady being on the same page. He thinks its not only T-Mac doing the damage, and this team still has its issues (says a small part about Ron-Ron).
