Don't put the blame on T-Crack
Fine, T-Crack is having one of his worst seasons in his nba career. He is injured half the time and chucks up threes like a crack head. But, that doesn't give you a reason to put the blame on him. He may be lazy in until the all star game. But we all know how his averages went up from 18.5 to 21.8 in the end of last season. He started playing much better offensively and got a couple of blocks every few games. Don't get me wrong, the rockets won't get anyone for t-mac that can lead them past the playoffs and you can't expect yao or ron to lead you past the playoffs. Ron never led his team in the finals and same with yao. Yao couldn't even guard boozer and couldn't get going in the playoffs 3 years ago. Every playoffs, T-mac has been efficient and consistent ( 6th in player efficiency for playoffs all time). Sure trade T-crack, see how far you guys get in the playoffs. I wouldn't be suprised if you get swept by the 8th seed if you even get to 1st. You guys relied on T-mac to take you to 6 games against Jazz when t-mac didn have yao, battier or alston(for 3-4 games). Also guess what, he was taking pain killers to relieve his knee and shoulder. So if he isn't doing good this season, you guys explode on him like that? Trust me i'd be happy if he gets off this organization because this team has the **** staff that doesn't care about player's health. Look at other teams, they get players that are out for like 2-3 months so they can be 100% again for injuries less minor then t-macs (Jazz for example on Boozer). If the rockets did have a good staff as well, i don't think you guys would see the days of him playing like this. He would be a top 3 SG maybe even 2nd behind kobe if you let him be 100%. HATERS! CALL ME A T-MAC RIDER OR FANBOY IF YOU WANT!

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I used to be one of the biggest tmac fans ever, but i have to honestly tell you it is impossible to stay one now, litterally impossible. Everytime he opens his mouth he says something stupid

Re: Don't put the blame on T-Crack
well I can forgive him for being injured... but is he really? his minor surgery was 10 months ago...
we all know Tmac was lazy or scared and didnt put the proper effort into his rehab in the summer...
for Tmac to play no defense and coast in the Regular season so that he can come in and play big when he is on National TV or in the playoffs dosent do the team any good... add that to the fact Tmac has always been a high volume shooter with a low FG %... now thats fine in a regualar season game where going 11 for 26 will get you a win most nights.....
but when you are in the playoffs where every possesion counts... you dont need to look at Tmacs past 11 years to tell you what is going to happen...
as for Yao nice how you use Tmacs injury as a excuse this year... but forget that Yao came back from a broken knee 1 month before the playoffs... plus can you really expect him to guard some one 9 inches shorter quicker with a outside shot? put TMac on Deron Williams and then tell me how he would do
Yao is a big stiff...and he is what he is slow clumsy and as non athletic as you can get.... but he puts the effort in most regular season games...
and he rehabs properly when he gets injured

From Chron http://blogs.chron.com/jeromesolomon/2009/02/post_74.html
nuff on T-mac, Mentally Weak. I still remember that game back in December when he had a 2 on 1 fast break and he pulled up stopped the fast break. We now know why he did it.
WTF is that.
McGrady explained that his problem the other night was that was going to be the first time he would go full-bore on the run to jump off the surgically-repaired left leg.
We all saw the result.
"When I got the ball, I was already nervous," McGrady said. "I was like, 'Damn, I hope somebody catches up with me so I can pass the ball.'
"I saw the guy out of the corner of my eye, so I went to change up my shot ... no elevation."
McGrady said he is still dealing with mental issues, coming off the first surgery of his life.

Alright, so you're indirectly telling me he is fine. If he was fine, and his legs were fine, you think you would ever see the day AIR-mac misses a easy reverse like that.

i think he said it himself... instead of jumping off both legs or using his left leg... he favored it... and missed the dunk...
if he had jumped off his left leg and it buckled... I would be thinking different right now...

Do you really want to lay claim to something that lame? If you do, by all means, if not, we didn't see anything.

It's all he has. Don't take that away from him.
Although it should be noted that T-Crack is a pitiful attempt at an insult. At least nicknames like "McLady" and "McLazy" are somewhat clever. "T-Crack" doesn't even make sense. It's probably the worst attempt at a pun on a players name that I've ever heard, actually.

Re: Don't put the blame on T-Crack
Houston is one of the top medical cities in the WORLD! Which makes me wonder why his injury is lingering. Yao seems to be finally recovering from his injury and getting back into shape. Ron's injury was b/c he came back too early. Maybe tmac's knee just never healed correctly, which is a possibility in joint repair. If so he'd just need another surgery, whatever it is, I hope he just gets it over with instead of trying to play through it. The other players will then know for sure to turn it up for the rest of the season instead of saying "it's okay, we'll have tracy back."

Re: Don't put the blame on T-Crack
From what I have been reading McGrady seems unable to deal with the limits of playing on a bad knee. Ok it hurts. We get that. The thing is...every test and ever doctor he has seen says there is nothing structurally wrong. While there is pain...it isn't enough for him to not play. Which then suggests that he just mentally can't deal with not being able to dunk on a breakaway for instance. Or going 1 for 9 against a team in the Bucks that he has traditionally owned in his career. So thats one theory and one we have all sort come up with already.
The other one is that McGrady is fearful that he will be traded. I think he can play on the knee and through the pain just fine. But I also think there was a time during the season where he could not and at the very least that prompted the Rockets to make some calls about him. So now I think he fears being traded and its b/c any trade involving him will most definitely involve a cellar dweller. I think he understands that and is blocking any attempt by continually claiming that his knee is a 'major' problem. I am willing to bet that after the trade deadline....Tracy McGrady will be fine. Hell if Artest is traded...I am even willing to bet that McGrady will play top 5 MVP ball for the rest of the season.
